CES 2008: Nyko Releasing Guitar Hero III/Rock Band Guitar

The issues between Harmonix and Activision over compatibility between the guitars that ship with Rock Band and Guitar Hero III have been well documented here at Gaming Today. And while it makes for something to do for either company’s lawyers, it’s the gamers that suffer. One way or another, there will be some form of solution for PlayStation 3 owners by March, when Nyko releases the Front Man guitar controller.
The controller will function with both Rock Band and Guitar Hero III by flipping a switch to alternate compatibility between the two games. It’s not the best solution and does require you to buy new hardware, but at least you’ll be able to properly finally rock out in Rock Band on PS3.
The features list:
- Compatible with Guitar Hero III and Rock Band
- Up to 80 hours of continuous play time from three AA batteries
- Wireless technology for cordless gaming up to 25 ft. away
- Built-in tilt sensor & responsive whammy bar
- Bi-directional strum bar
- Responsive and durable fret buttons
- Interchangeable pick guard for custom look
- Unique directional pad design for convenient menu navigation
- Effects switch for Rock Band play
