» Upcoming PS3 update to support music playback during games?

As any Xbox 360 owner who has experimented with the 360's A/V capabilities can tell you, one advantage the 360 has held over the PS3 is the ability to play music during gameplay. According to a forum user on GameFAQs though, that advantage may finally be coming to an end. In addition to in-game messaging and a achievement trophy system, the upcoming 2.4 system update will also allow you to play music during gameplay. The user, Knight613 has even posted a screenshot of the new trophy system as proof.

According to Knight, the new update should be released sometime next week.

Really WTF??? Looking at that screenshot I have to call it a fake. Sony wouldn't release something that looked that stupid. I swear it looks like a screenshot from a SNES sports game. Besides I am sure someone who works for Sony would know that a linked screenshot that breaks NDA could be tracked and cause the person to be fired.

Besides if you can't hook up an iPod or other MP3 player like you can with the Xbox 360 then it still is behind in terms of what Microsoft can do.

I guess it depends on what game you're playing as to whether you want music on in the background. Still, this is a welcome feature for the PS3.

It's about time. Though I doubt this little change sells any PS3's or pushes any more game sales. That's what the PS3 really needs.
