Thread: Custom Soundtracks Owned By Microsoft?

thus "preventing"? no....it is not true

Somehow I highly doubt that, that would be like saying turning the music off and playing something on the radio was patented. I also doubt it because there are a very select few PS3 titles that utilize it, I believe Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is one of them.

UNIVERSAL CUSTOM SOUNDTRACK is patented by microsoft, but games that use it from their SKU or somethin like that, like some games do is not patented but a systeme like 360's were u pop open the menu and u can choose music with all games movies and everything is patented i think

There is no proof either way, I personally think that Sony just haven't added the software needed for OS custom music yet..which is why we rely on the devs.

Microsoft does own the patent: http://www.ripten.com/2008/03/31/microsoft-owns-pa tent-for-in-game-custom-soundtracks/ Remember patents do not mean you simply can't do it, you just have to pay the person who owns the patent, which I doubt Sony would want to do. So they found their own loophole of getting around it by allowing developers to make the decision. I still don't see why ...

^Don't worry guys, the patent will expire 15 years from now.. :P

they own a way to do it, all it takes is sony to do it a diffrent way.
