The hassle of Custom Soundtracks. Since Sony did the XMB access & in-game music the way they did with 2.4, instead of playing BurnOut I am spending the next few days copying my 10,000 song AAC music library 1 GB at a time from my PS3 to my Walkman then transferring them to my PC then Converting them with Itunes from AAC 64bit to MP3 64 bit which takes about 3 hours per 500 files then I must retransfer them all back to PS3 from PC using TVersity which will probably take another hour per 500 files so maybe by the end of the week I’ll finally have customized soundtracks in BurnOut because for some reason although SuperstardustHD’s customized soundtracks plays AAC just fine apparently Criterion decided everyone should just use MP3s which also have worse sound quality than AAC at the same bitrate so I have to give up sound quality or leave a lot of songs off my PS3 or I’ll fill up the harddrive. By only allowing it to work with MP3s Criterion effectively decided that AAC (ipod format) & WMA are useless on PS3s. Cmon u guys how much more work could it have taken to allow AAC & WMA? Seriously couldn’t be as much work as I & everyone else who wasn’t using mp3 now has to do removing transferring & converting our entire libraries. So thanks for that major pain in the ass. Otherwise Cagney is cool except that now I’ll never finish the old challenges because every freeburn challenge game I join everyone is only doing the 70 new timed challenges and that pisses me off.

Love the game, play it daily. Cant wait for the new updates. More dev teams should set back and take notes from criterion. Any chances of 1080p support in the future?

From what i understand reading their statement here and on the criterion site, we will NOT be getting trophy support in the cagney update on july the 10th.

It will be in a future update, this is not a digg at criterion, but just so blog users dont get annoyed when they dont get trophy support on july 10th.

Thank you criterion for adding this support. Cant wait for the update when you do add it, when will the update with the trophy support come?
