Maybe they'll add it in an update if there's enough demand for it. In other words, let's start begging.

I need that feature and what happen to buy music online and ringtones and stuff!!!!! I think in some misterious way, EA is involved (yes i blame them for everything, even extinction of dinosaurs)

I don't think theyll sell something like that, PSN or Live... No one would buy something like that. Besides when you think about it, How many of you are actually going to walk around listening to your phone while there is all this other noise around you it would be a headacke!... How many of you are gonna walk around PERIOD. I don't find this feature one of those -Must Have- features. BUT, It would be cool to have it still.

You know what? This would have been a cool feature, but the fact that they took it out doesn't bother me one bit. After reading a few interviews with Dan Houser, and based on the amount of work I know they put into the game, I completely trust that they made this decision _only_ to make the game better. It doesn't matter whether or not _I_ can see a reason to do this, but the fact is that the folks at Rockstar really put a lot of thought into all of these decisions, and they probably take a lot of things into account that most of us wouldn't think about.

The decision obviously wasn't made because of hardware constraints, so I really believe this to be true. And you know what? I can see why they would do something like this. If you were able to walk around listening to the radio all the time, it wouldn't be as special any more. There's probably a lot of stuff on the radio, but it's not unlimited. They don't want to show it to you all at once. Once that happened (once you started hearing repeats) it would remove a lot of the *feeling* of the game, and they really worked hard to make the game *feel* the way it does, to make it *feel* alive. Repeats would make the game feel, well, stale.

The reason the creaters of GTA4 in Rockstar took out the whole cell phone music thing was because of that whole deal about Microsoft buying the licence to be able to upload music onto games on consoles. So Rockstar didn't want to make one system better than the other by allowing the 360 owners to be able to upload music with the cell phone thing...

I think that was very rediculous since the PS3 already has some scenes where PS3 owners will be able to use the abilities of the six-axis controller to figure out how to get through the mission or task...it's good to be a PS3 owner...
