SmackDown vs. Raw 2008: Custom Music on PS3 vs Xbox 360

No. The PlayStation 3 version of SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 does not support custom soundtracks. This feature was exclusive to the Xbox 360 version.

The Platform Disparity

  • Xbox 360: Uses the system-level "Custom Soundtrack" feature (Dashboard > Music > Play during game). Works in menus, entrances, created wrestler themes.
  • PS3: Lacked a system-level custom soundtrack API at launch (added later in Firmware 2.40/3.00, but SvR 2008 didn't implement it). In-game music player only plays licensed OST.
  • PS2 / Wii / PSP / DS: Also lack custom music.

PS3 Workarounds

  • External Audio: Play music from phone/PC/Bluetooth speaker. Mute in-game music (Settings > Audio > Music Volume = 0).
  • Entrance Themes: You can assign licensed tracks to CAW entrances, but not custom MP3s.

This was a common disparity in 2007-2010 cross-platform games (e.g., Burnout Paradise, Skate, FIFA) where Xbox 360's OS-level music support gave it an edge.
