Music on PS3 with gaming?

tech_no · 07-17-2008, 07:24 AM

Hi Forum,
My son has added music to his PS3 40 Gb Hard drive. Is there any way this can be played whilst he is playing a game?

Hi,

Even though Sony has made is possible to play back music while playing games, there are no games on the market at the moment (that I know off) that will allow you to do this

Until games that do allow it come out, you won't be able to do it.

On the 360 the games will say on the back that it supports "custom soundtracks." I don't know if it's like that with the PS3.

Thank you for that info Jack.Sparrow, its much appreciated. I guess we will have to wait for those games to come out then.

Thanks ebackus,
It seems like the PS3 games have yet to come out with that option on, see letter from Jack.Sparrow. Thank you for your response.
