That's what I'm saying.

Only certain games can do it.

What I want to know is why in the hell to people like to listen to music while playing video games?! How about just listen to the game while playing the game! I even turn off the in-game music that is if there is that option, because I for one do not like hearing music while I play a video game.

So do you mute your tv while playing a game to not listen to the game's soundtrack:?

i hate when people play online with a mic and listen to music, But if you're playing offline, I can understand your argument. Don't you have an ipod or mp3 player or a computer?

What I would like to know is why the 360 can do it and the people at Sony, who have a much better machine can't begin to comprehend the concept? That's the whole reason why I traded Burnout paradice in from the PS3 port to the 360 port. When you're playing Drunken Lulabies by Flogging Molly, it jsut sounds more appropriate then Girlfriend by Avril La(howeverthecrapyouspellherlastname). It gets me in the mood to wreck and crash cars. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

Only on some games, but why would you want to listhen to music while your playing games, in COD W@W I want to hear the enemys footsteps so I know if there close or near. Otherwise I'd be really bad at that game.

WEll I could see that, but i bugs me. Sony was one of the first to mass produce the walkman, come out with some of the most technical-advanced stuff, but playing music during games evades them? Whew. I know the copyrighted crap's crap, but you think Sony would come up with their own thing to play music while you're playing.

Burnout Paradise on the PS3 does allow for you to play custom soundtracks from your hard drive. You just can't do it from the XMB. You select the custom soundtrack from the radio within the game. That's a flawed reason to switch to 360.

i hear you dude i like listening to music while playing, and you guys saying " who the heck listens to music while playing games!" i lot of people like to, i like to, especially shooting games, puts me in Beast Mode XD . I mean alot of people here are trying to really hard to say this isnt a negative but it is. Not having a feature ona console is never a good thing, even if you had an option to listen to your music on ps3 you wouldnt have to.

Flawed as it is, I do better when I listen to the music I like compaired to the music they put into the games. Now mind you I love my PS3 and I have most if not all my music on one HDD for one of mine, but it still wouldn't let me from the game. Might be a glitch in the game, might jsut be the PS3 itself, whatever it was, it sent me over the edge with the game and I tried the 360 side. I'm doing better sad to say but I am anticipating GOW3 and playing some of my music like FFDP or Arch Enemy.

imho, if someone uses a mic to communicate with others, the custom music option should be unavailable... :)

I can't believe they were allowed to patent that, complete **** Looks like Sony tried their best to get around the patent by implementing the dev unlocking it option.

Play castlevania , DBZ, KZ2, GT5, RDR and other games if you want to hear some music, or buy another system and you can play music in all games.

Is there a way to do this? cuz if not that sucks theROOTS420

Never understood why people want to listen to music while playing games? I would rather AND for the most part have to hear the game. If you want music turn on your stereo thats what its for. OR use your PC or use you mp3 player. Its simple. Let a gaming console be for gaming..

Why the heck would this matter to anyone whether or not I listen to my own preferred music in any game. If I want to listen to metal when playing a game that's my own choice, I should have no sway in what you listen to or don't listen to in any game. Just give everyone a choice, that's all that matters. Dev's need to do this for ALL GAMES. Screw M$ for copyrighting this crap. This is a great example why people hack systems, because greedy corporations feel they have to copyright something that all people should have access to.
