so whats the deal with the ps2 version?? stores websites have it listed, but only to be continued by “sold out” or “not available online”.. then i go to stores, and they dont have anything.. the weirdest part is, if you go to rock band’s official site, you can’t even order it there! so, can anyone help me out?

As it stands right now the only controller compatible with Rock Band on PS3 is the Rock Band controller. Confirmed. That’s it.

As you can imagine, there has been quite a stink about this on the Rock Band forums from angry PS3 owners considering the 360 version of RB works with all of its controllers (USB and wireless). Apparantly all that promise of older controllers working was talk of the 360 version only.

That means not only does the PS3 GH3 not work, but the whole lot of PS2 controllers (even with the assistance of the Red Octane USB adapter) do not work with the PS3 version of Rock Band. That pretty much makes getting the standalone version of Rock Band for PS3 pretty moot.

And if you get the RB bundle, nobody can fill that 4th spot unless you buy the RB bundle twice for that second RB guitar controller (unless your buddy already bought it).

Also keep in mind that the 360 RB controllers (drums & guitar) have been confirmed by Harmonix to not work with the PS3 version as well.

The thing that burns me is that Harmonix were advertising Rock Band as being a 4 player game when in reality (as far as the PS3 is concerned) it’s essentially a 3 player game right out the box. The question is whether this was good business practice or not.

It’s Thanksgiving weekend and everyone is probably on vacation over there at Harmonix and EA, so I suppose cutting them slack is in order. But I hope they will make a public statement later this week concerning this issue. It would be nice to know if they are going to be attempting to work around this issue via patch or something, or if they are going to stand there and continue to say “It’s not our fault, we didn’t make those controllers.”

Because that’s pretty much what they are saying on the forums.

If you haven’t bought Rock Band yet, and you own a PS3, you might want to take note here as it may seriously affect your purchase decision.

Lori the only way it will be compatible is
by getting the special editon rock band
that comes out on Dec 11 I went thou that
some people tryed to tell me it was compat
ible with ps2 then I found out i had to
wait till then I did a pre order from
amazon. I have read the guitar will be
compatible but that would be it. Best to
wait or return it. Why did they have to
wait to realease the ps2 version? I drove\
all over the place till finally i went onl
line. From what i understand and have
read gh3 is not compatible either. only gh
2 is. The guitar that looks like a gibson.
Well I hope this thing gets here by xmas.
Does anyone know were to go to get MTV’s
offical Release date? I am only going off
amazon. I have read it may not be out til
Dec 18.

Electronic Arts has confirmed that the guitar from the 360 version of Guitar Hero 2 will work with Rock Band, and you can also use your Xbox Live headset as your microphone. So the only new peripheral 360 owners will definitely have to buy will be the drum set.
that was copied and pasted from http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/807/807393p1.html so all us xbox livers need to buy are the drums and everything else is compatable bitches
