i think the reason why only some games have custom soundtrack on PS3 and all of them do on 360, is some kind of patent. It was brought up at the beginning of the gen. Ill have to look to find more info.

yea i think i heard something about that, but MS preventing Sony form this custom sound track thing should have an adverse effect on the music indusrty as Sony s one of the biggest record companies in the industry and could work with Interscope and others to prevent MS from even having copyrighted music on there home console.

just a thought

you might be right, i cant find any info on it, it might just have been a vicious rumor around the time when the whole PS3 vs 360 was at its peak. It might just be an oversight from Sony, it is possible for all games on PS3 to have it, but its something the devs have to patch or put in. Im sure most are not willing to do that

Well Turn 10 has exclusive rights to Ferarri, yet they still let GT5 have Ferarri's. Does this attack on Forza mean that the next NFS will be Ferarri free?

What BS EA, not going to look at Battlefield 3 now. I can't stand shit like this, was really looking forward to Forza 4 being the end all best SIM, but now without Porsche, It's not uniformly better then FM3..

i think they are in GRID too, for that matter. Its a crappy situation, fortunately for me i ve never been a sim fan. But it sucks for people who are Forza fans, it probably wont be a deal breaker for most im sure it will sell just as well

It kind of makes sense from EA's perspective... but it doesn't really matter, Porsche only really make the 911 and nothing else

No they didn't  let GT have Ferrari,  the deal was solely for the 360 and PC

Anyway it puts Turn Ten in a bind either they take the high ground in regards to the rights to Ferrari they have, or go down EA'S path and leave themselves open to criticism
