[qbandog]

i would like to play my music online while playing with my friends

[whit3ballz]

m i tryed to play music but it dontplay it ask s me the quiet the game to play the music any thing that might be wrong m8

[joejoe8151]

omg! you can play music by going to a menu and selecting your own music?! thats totally not stolen from anything cough xbox cough oh and a web browser thats certainly not from the wii damn sony

[2313igbill]

can you leave voice comments?

[scrubsfan95]

Y cant i play my music?

[rubobi123]

these guys change there minds from a good thing to bad thing the onley game i can play my music with is pain,burnout

[rubobi123]

how come u did not do the music thing

[hoagtech]

whatever you guys just thumbs down anything with xbox 360 in it. heres a fact: XBOX ALREADY HAD THESE FEATURES BEFORE! srtaight up no lies. its just a bunch ps3 fanboys not letting peoples xbox opinions stick. (ps3 does rule though) I just got one woo hoo!

[aysonkue]

i can't play music while playing gta 4

[xDIXON1990x]

cus ur a dick

[aysonkue]

nope its not that

it's becuz im azn bitches

[xDIXON1990x]

your asian haha

[aysonkue]

and ur an ass hole bitch azn pride motha fucka

[39uje39u3u9]

360 sucks PS3's dick!

[djl7891]

its a good thing that i got update 2.41 then having a black screen

[JoseBaiona]

it would be awesome 2 play 2 games at the same time in split screen

just imagine that

it may be possible with ps3's cell processor

[JENSSCHLAU]

2.40 is very cool.

[YoungProphi]

PlayStation 2.41 Firmware is out! = ) Upgrade you sexy PS3'rs :D

[JoseBaiona]

sexy ps3's u're right dude ;)

ps3 rocks!!

[hershbcountz]

acsess to xmb in game.... music availibility pl0x? 0_0

[g4rr3y]

update 2.41, not 2.40, is to be released 'mid-week' according to sony customer services.

[Mushroomwig]

=o nice

[zeramino]

i used to be a ps fan, because of its incredible originality... but the ps3 messed up, it keeps trying to be a 360 and a wii. this is an insult... trophies?? come on sony!! i love the xbox now, it IS original, like ps1 and ps2, but ps3 is just a wanna be.

[pigeon0]

not a wanna be their actually listening to their fans we wanted in game xmb so their getting it for us

[Mushroomwig]

i gave you a thumbs down due to you being such a fanboy..not everyone has/wants a an xbox 360 or a wii, so why is adding such a cool feature an insult? technically they are about as pointless as achievments right?

[zeramino]

wrong. well, first of all i used to like ps more than anything else, but this generation is just not original enough, and im not a fanboy of any console. i just like the xbox better because of its edge in everything, ps3 keeps going through the 360's tracks, its not going its own way, simple.

[Mushroomwig]

nah thats wrong, I will never own a 360, so trophies are great..thats like saying "oh look mini has made a car...they are so ripping off ford"

[zeramino]

theres a lot of facts that proof what im saying. and i respect ur point of view. but for me a console need more than what eveyother console has. not just raw power, that for now, cant even be used.

[Mushroomwig]

not played metal gear solid 4 then?

[12iku]

zeramino youre the one thats wrong... PS2 was a great system but it wasnt "original" like you said it is actually just an upgraded ps1 with better graphics and larger disc space. PS2 was still a great console even though they hardly changed anything with ps1 so they did something new with PS3 and gave it sixaxis is the copying xbox no. They had a motion sensing controller since ps1 and wii cant say anything about that.

[CUTWEST]

heard the firmware fucked up A LOT of PS3's

[18chapin99]

.2% failure rate, dunt think so

[DaUltimateX15]

PSN: DaUltimateX

[g4rr3y]

the firmware has been pulled

[awesomeneiss]

psn id moem

[thegameis12]

Does it fix GTA IV freezing?

[spiritcrunch]

you can listen to music in game on all future games released and WARHAWK (might be more). So if you do not have warhawk go buy it and add me

psn id: |3lackCalamity

[Falco1188]

this is sweet cuz i was so jelous of my friends 360 but know i love my ps3

[WAMproductshizzles]

Same here Falco, I love the bluetooth and message feature.

[trabis1945]

shit*

[trabis1945]

wow coped the shit put of the 360

[Microdevine]

sony should have taken more time.theyve already pulled it.

[dannycassy]

wat were those dudes psn ids?

[lammy4evr]

Hey have any of you heard. They've taken 2.4 offline. You can't even get it any more so for those of you who (like me) were lucky enough to get it this morning or last night,I hope you realize your luck, cause I don't even know when they're gonna put it back up. Someone hacked Sony's website or something and they're saying that this might have something to do with it. Some people are even experiencing problems with their update while others(like me) have no problems.

[ZePequeno15]

lawl, are you serious?

btw, can you play music while your in the game? because i tried to on COD4, and i can't play music while i'm playing it... T_T

[spiritcrunch]

I bet it was Microsoft

[chmun77]

Do you guys really type message during the games? I mean, to pause the game, turn on the XMB, look for your incoming message and reply? I'm not sure, but for me, this in game XMB is not important because I dun wanna get disturbed while i'm gaming.

[PdubthePatriot]

Better than having to quit the game completely like we used to.

[mormonstatemusic]

my music isnt working

[CHRIZZYYYBOIIII]

LOL! they pulled it back when i still av it and i already own every trophy on stardust HD and ive had no problems apart from freazing out of voice chats anyone had dat problem ?

[PdubthePatriot]

Ah, looks like Sony's pulled 2.40 from their servers. If somethings wrong with, that's bad for me, since I already downloaded it lol.

[Erok9]

i just checked its not out yet

[Sabei0990]

Yeah boy..

[KingOfVaginas]

this is shit iv got music doesnt work iv got the net can i get on the net NOOOOOOOO!!! piece of shit update

[riceboi2therescue]

Ok let me list some flaws with this, even though it covers many things. There are some things missing. Such things are:

-Everything I can do on my XMB out of the game >_>" SONY! HEAR US AND FULFILL OUR WISHES! I need my in-game music :(

[PdubthePatriot]

I believe in game music is possible, it's just that devs need to enable it. In theory, Insomniac or Kojima (or any developer for that matter) could release patches to allow in-game music in their games. If so, future games should have it as well.

[DaUltimateX15]

how long do u think it's goin to take?

[PdubthePatriot]

Depends. Again, it's up to the devs. They might add it to games in development now (would love to listen to VH while playing Resistance 2 lol). For games already out, a patch might be released to make it work. Naughty Dog, for example, is adding a patch for Trophy Support to Uncharted, so they might do the same thing for in-game music (pure speculation tho).

[manovleedz]

HAS THIS COME OUT TODAY ?

[PdubthePatriot]

Yep.

[mm66ex]

ingame music is not workin

[zeldasps3]

it is. the developers have to enable the feature with a patch for their games. and to answer your question i found a way to listen to my music while playing any original xbox game on my xbox 360.

[DaUltimateX15]

u 2

[Jx0xKxExR]

i cant fucking hear music while playing GTA 4

[micoh369]

do the games need atches before we can do this?

[gencobaser]

well i heard they are going to bring update for game to support tropies, like warhawk with the 1.5 version it will suppor tropies because its the delevoper choice to put in tropies or not

[xChrisyBoy95x]

WTF!! Not letting me play music during GTA 4

Eric Lempel Up Yoursfor not letting us play music during game

:@

[bigjoe514]

it needs to be patched by the game makers

[XXxSilentSheepxXX]

WTF!!!! i cant listen to any fucking music in any fucking game!!You fucked up again sony!!YOU FUCKED UP AGAIN!!

FUCK YOU ERIC LEMPEL!!

[sk8terkid4life]

I'm download now!!!

[50GUNOTKILLAH50]

I have never been disapointed with sony once, until now. I know it wont be like this for long probably but as of now im kind of pissed. I have updated and was soooo excited and than I realize after trying every single game I own (I have 15) the in game xmb doesnt work on any games(the music part anyway). And there is no trophy suport for any games other than the two games the guy showed in that video sony realeased

[gencobaser]

update from delevoper will come to support tropies, it the delevoper choice and if you wanna go in game XMB just press not hold it.

[wardevil3000]

good but two more are missing the ps3 home and flash videos (for gametrailer sites like)

[MrhollywooD89]

heyy i jus d/l it butt i cant get music to play on cod4 can someone please helpp!!

[RBNclan]

[50GUNOTKILLAH50]

xbox is outdated and fucking old

[zeldasps3]

hey we wont be able to listen to ANY music playing any ps3 currently out. this is true look it up. but, im sure there is a loop hole to make it happen. 360 owners are ABLE to play in game music if any xbox game. i found a way to do it and its pretty awesome. if you want to know how to do it send me a reply.

[zeldasps3]

so yeah you are ABLE to listen to any song while playing halo or halo2 or...halo. reply if you wish to know how...

360 = 2 years 7 months old = 19 million sold

[thugmaster2]

[dillonxl]

WEDNESDAY

()@JDjwassfgdsjlgs;djg

[ShadowRunner28]

Who cares how long Microsoft had IN GAME MUSIC?!? The point is.....the 360 NO LONGER has any kind of LEAD or ADVANTAGE over PSN! By the end of 2008, Sony will have SURPASSED Microsoft in firmware updates. The 360 may have had year or so head start, but the PS3 was obviously UNDERESTIMATED. The 360 won't hold 1st place for long!

[dgc1808]

360's in second place, and slowly being overtaken by the ps3 which is currenty in 3rd place. But yes, i get your point. It seems more and more the the advantages of having a 360 over a ps3 just disappear

[ps3thug]

Yah your right. 360 has pretty much nothing over PS3 now with 2.40 firmware. Also HOME is coming so what more can the 360 do? Hell the PS3 does so much that I just download movies and just store them on my hdd(not rent like 360) the ps3 is THE BEST MULTIMEDIA GAMING SYSTEM out there!!! PERIOD

[jjjordon360]

home is gonna be crazy as hell

[Batzmaru1993]

ya cant wait

[goffy112]

and littlebigplanet =P

[zeldasps3]

hey anyone out there play their own music while playing ssbb on the wii? the one i like is the forgotten city or something like that. its the song that plays in the background during the fight with cloud and those 3 losers in final fantasy VII: AC.

[zeldasps3]

yes!!! I cant wait to play gta4 and mgs4 while listening to MY music! He mentioned the majority of the ps3 games will have access to the xmb. Hopefully resistance and motorstorm along with r & c will support in-game xmb.

[Xis66]

YEA ALL games have the XMB only some for the trophies but they'll patch em anyway ALL upcoming PS3 games have these thing built in

[BAAAAAAAAAAAA]

eric lempell has good taste in music, love the go team

[KierenJohn]

Sony I LOVE YOU !!! ^^

[carlgrisbas93]

[ichigoogle]

[Croga15]

Damn straight

[TheGameFather142]

[TheHandHelping]

yes, YES!!!!

[ShadowRunner28]

Just as I thought, IN GAME MUSIC! All you Microsoft FANBOYS were saying this whole time that Microsoft had some kind of "patent" on IN GAME MUSIC....that it was an XBOX exclusive feature only and that Sony could'nt do it even if they wanted to. Yeah, BULLSHIT! Now STFU.

[123gilbertron]

.....and how long has microsoft had it and how long has sony?

[Xis66]

whats wrong with PS3 playing catch up

[123gilbertron]
