Anyone know if I can use the Rockband guitars on Guitar Hero 3?

GH3 guitars work in Rock Band, although they lack the solo keys and what not.

on the 360 but not on the PS3.

Harmonix has a patch to make them work on the PS3, but Activision is blocking it unless Harmonix pays Activision for doing nothing, on top of you already paying for GH3.

Harmonix has also offered to help Activision to use RB guitars in GH3, for free, but Activison says no way, we want people to buy 2 copies of GH3 instead. Gives us your monies!!!

Activision apparently doesn't like you, just your money.

Yep. I hope they lose that class action lawsuit for the mono Wii version.

Also, the rock band guitars DO NOT work on GH3 on any system.

That's the way Activision wants it to be, as I mentioned above Harmonix offered to help Activision make them work, for free, but Activision had no interest in it.

Does anyone know if the Guitar Hero guitars (either the older ones or the new one from GHIII) would work in the PS2 version of Rock Band? Probably not hey, since they don't in the PS3...

Well the PS3 has been having more controller incompatibilities than the PS2... so it may just work. However I really don't know.

There were articles on this a week or so back. IIRC, GH3 works with Rock Band for X360, but NOT for PS3 cause of Activision. Not sure about vice versa.

ok, i tested a GHII on Rockband for 360 and it works. It DOESN'T work the other way around.
