Rock Band Patch Adds Support for PS3 Guitar Hero III Controllers
Posted by Matt Buchanan at 1:50 PM on December 6, 2007
In the battalion of boxes that encases Rock Band's high quality gear there is but one guitar. Since you can't buy the instruments separately yet and Guitar Hero III's guitar won't work w/ RB on the PS3, your band is effectively bass player-less. Harmonix to the rescue: The upcoming patch for PS3's RB includes "a number of items related to guitar controller compatibility." Translated from PR-speak, it looks like they're adding support for GHIII's Les Paul geetars. Rock on. [Rock Band Forums via Kotaku]

FYI This isnt available in australia.. meaning that you have to buy the whole f*cking band kit for a game thats going to be outdated as soon as they release rock band 2 here.

Meh. I'd rather see patches to let me use the Rock Band Strat in Guitar Hero.
At the very least, future GH games need to be compatible with the Strat.

How about making the PS3 GH3 controller compatable with PS2 GH2 and GH? I was rather pissed when I found out my fancy new PS3 wouldn't be able to play GH2. Don't bother mentioning the RS or Pelican adapters, I've tried them and they suck for the GH2 controller.
And can we also cram a few more acronyms in? Comments are becoming too intelligible!

I think all the companies involved should be going as far as they can to make all the guitars compatible with all the games.
For that matter, I think it would be sweet to have songs from previous Guitar Hero games available for the later versions, but that's just me and I doubt it'll ever happen.
