Edit: Yup i was right

1.3 - I don't think this uses the in-game XMB to access it. Looks more like something they implemented

It's not coming until July 10th so it could change.

It's quite obvious that it's custom soundtracks only for Burnout and not via XMB. They've been touting this feat for a long time as part of their Burnout update. And if you look at the post it comes from a Burnout developer. I mean it's great to be optimistic, just be prepared to get disappoint.

I'm not trying to say in-game XMB custom soundtrack won't happen (in fact I'm confident it'll be here in 1-2 months), but I think it's quite obvious the guy is talking strictly about Burnout and not in-game XMB.

this has nothing to do with 2.40 cause the 360 version of burnout already has custom soundtracks and they are adding it to PS3.

kool feature, but I'm curios as to its specifics. Would it say include gun shots if we wanted to in some games with the music in the background? I guess this wouldn't happen with any other games but future ones could have it as an option. Also will we keep having to stop the music at every cut scene? By no means a big problem but if its a important cut scene you could end up missing the first few seconds while u stop your music...

Not tht I'm criticising at all, 2.4 really does look great and I am very thankfull for Sony =)

I hate it when you try and express your opinion about something shortly and then move on but you end up writing a big paragraph lol!

I know. They posted on the ps.blog about it already [after they put it on their website ages ago] O.o

@Riot

Yeah, it's not in-game xmb access. that's what i meant about that blog post they are rumorizing.

I don't think they'll change because if they do it'll have to go through Sony's Q&A again which means a delay for the update =)

The music and other stuff is just for the "year of paradise" updates, it has nothing to do with 2.4 really.

yeah, its game specific, nothing to do with 2.4, but please, lets have some more straws to cling onto

i think the best we can hope for is, press the ps button during game - play a song - press the button again - return to game - song goes off :D

Same of which i think will be with voice chat :|

and all its features infact, i cant see sony losing another 40-64mb of memory to run the os in the background

have a read of this

http://www.theinquirer.net/...

this was prior launch, when ingame xmb was accessible, but now u can see why it was removed

A little off topic, but it is related to the OS. Does the PS3 allow downloading of games etc. in background while playing a game. I know initially you had to watch it download but they altered that, but I thought that you still had to stay within the XMB. If not then this is something else that needs fixing in 2.40

5.5 - clarification.
Ps3 downloads in background. U don't have to be in xmb.
it pauses only if:
1. Start playing a multiplayer game.(duh!?!)
2. Start watching a movie from BDROM or DVD.(this is stupid)
3. Start playing a audio cd (not 100% sure.this too is stupid).

5.7 - I think he means, can you install PS3 games without having to watch the install screen
And so far, no you can't. You can download stuff from the internet and the PSN and have it queue in the background, but that's about it.

7 - No it's not.
Custom soundtrack means it overlays their music with your own while the sound effects are still audible. "Support for Custom Soundtracks on PlayStation 3"

Also, In-game music overlays all the sound effects. thats how u know it's not...debunked.

MS patented in-game dashboard powered music, so the ps3 can't do it that way. It's up to the games to implement it.

I don't think that patent will hold up but I also don't think Sony will risk a legal battle. It's got to be the dumbest patten out there. It's basically trying to patten multi-tasking.

This has nothing to do with 2.4. PS3 already supports custom soundtracks, they just have to be implemented by the developer.

I want my in-game custom soundtracks or perhands a in-game music playlist player or something like that just to avoid the M$ evil plan forward to other console.

Everybody always hypes these updates so much. I hope that people get what they want out of it. I think that the PS3 is fine like it is, so I don't see much to be excited about.

This and the features "HOME" will bring to the PS3, should have been there from the start. I wouldnt have waited almost a year to get one if that had been the case. And HOME better not suck, especially with all the freaking time being spent on it.

i have always preferred the Playstation brand over the xbox (probably because its been out longer and been large part of child hood) but when Microsoft announce software whether its a game or system update they deliver on time on within weeks were as Sony take months and then delay it 2 or 3 times. very disappointed with today not good.
