Gee, if only the XBox 360 provided the ability to stream my own custom soundtracks as background music, rendering such a pay service worthless.

To counter - this is probably just so they can fit the game on a DVD.

How about this: charge for a patch that allows for in-game custom soundtracks in titles that don't already have it instead. That way you still turn a bit of a profit from DLC but don't seem like massively greedy douchbags in the process.

Really, I just want to listen to something other than melodic speed metal when I'm playing Eye of Judgment.

Honestly, other than that year they added the NFL Films music, who ever listened to the crap they put on the soundtrack?

360 Version has a built-in custom soundtrack while on PS3, it's up to EA to decide if they should implement it.

And somehow, I don't see them implementing it because that would defeat the purpose of milking players through soundtrack dlc.

Or....
Could they mean in a GTA fashion where you can purchase and download the background tracks from Amazon/iTunes?

This would kind of make sense if you were just able to use your Rockband DLC in other EA games, you'd get a nice amount of cross push, the songs sell for a fair piece of change, and you can buy full albums. It probably wouldn't be hard to put together a little applet to play back Rockband songs in other games...

Why establish a store for non-interactive songs though? You're not doing much to leverage your existing brands that way.

What are we going to call games that have years in the title like '10? "Madden oh-ten?"

Until we get to 2020, I'm worried.
