"Two weeks ago, Harmonix created a software patch for the Sony PLAYSTATION 3 version of Rock Band that allowed for guitar compatibility and support for third party peripherals, including enabling use of Activision's Guitar Hero III controller with Rock Band," the company told Shacknews.

"Unfortunately, Activision objected to the release of the compatibility patch," the statement continues. "The patch remains with Sony, but we have been told that it will unfortunately not be released due to Activision's continued objection."

Guess it's time to ban Activision from NeoGAF

I bought the PS3 version.

Ah, well. I'll just buy a standalone guitar in the Spring. It's not like the Guitar Hero III software is worth two shits at this point.

EBGames has them listed as coming out on February 8th. That's better than the Spring.

I can't fucking wait.

I played Guitar Hero III for the first time since Rock Band's release at our company party last Friday, and wow. There is no fucking reason to ever put that game in your system again. This sucks in the short term, but in the long term? Activision is running scared due to the EXTREME SMOKING they are receiving at the hands of EA/Harmonix.

I'm not a fan of the metal heavy playlists of the Guitar Hero series, so Rock Band gets my money.

demi · « **Reply #7 on:** December 12, 2007, 08:09:02 PM »

Guitar Hero 3 has songs I want to play! I played it at a friends a while back. I was like, zomg.

demi · « **Reply #8 on:** December 12, 2007, 08:12:35 PM »

haha owned!

It's official:

Also, there's no way for them to 'lock out' the 360 interoperability unless 1) the controller has a flashable firmware in it or 2) they get some form of court-ordered injunction against Harmonix. Neither of which I see as likely.

Either way... man Activision are just being dicks. They just lost the only chance of me buying GHIII.

The only song in GH3 that I'm interested in that's not in Rock Band is Muse's Knights of Cydonia.

Rock Band is very noob-friendly after the increase in difficulty Guitar Hero constantly added

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #13 on:** December 12, 2007, 08:28:49 PM »

the only songs I want from GH3 are Knights of Cydonia and She Bangs the Drums

the "shared" songs also have waaaay better patterns in Rock Band. When You Were Young

disgruntled_jojo · « **Reply #14 on:** December 12, 2007, 08:31:42 PM »

Also, GH doesn't get access to the Harmonix staff bands anymore. Freezepop & Tribe FTW!!

demi · « **Reply #15 on:** December 12, 2007, 08:38:33 PM »

a lot of the indie songs on all games suck fat peeeeenor

i really like Even Rats from the first game

that Flyleaf song on Rock Band was pretty cool

but other than that... flat

disgruntled_jojo · « **Reply #16 on:** December 12, 2007, 09:43:45 PM »

We're gonna have to AtD on this one. GH1 had 5-6 bonus songs I played on a regular basis and actually got me into their respective bands. Drist, Anarchy Club, Honest Bob & tFtDI, The Slip... and comon' man... CAVEMAN REJOICE

as a (bad) guitar player, one thing that irks me about Guitar Hero is how anal it is about accuracy - which couldn't be more counter to rock and roll !!

How is Rock Band in comparison?

The timing window to hit a note is a lot bigger in GH3 than RB.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #19 on:** December 12, 2007, 09:53:33 PM »

rock band's honest bob song rocks, as do both the anarchy club, tribe and freezepop songs

also, "honest bob & the factory-to-dealer incentives" is the best band name ever

actually, the tribe song fuckin WAILS, what a great tune

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #20 on:** December 12, 2007, 09:53:46 PM »

There are some pretty damn good bonus songs in GHIII.

A Muse pack is required for Rock Band.

dcharlie, I'm pretty sure in terms of timing window

GH1 < GH2 = RB < GH3

(GH1 is the most strict)

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #21 on:** December 12, 2007, 09:54:46 PM »

i know there's a killers pack planned, hope there's a muse one, too

i wanna fuckrockfaces to hysteria

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #22 on:** December 12, 2007, 09:55:46 PM »

Ill get 360 rock band if I see a killers pack

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #23 on:** December 12, 2007, 09:55:56 PM »

fuck yea

I wish they picked something off of OoS or Absolution for GHIII instead of Knights. It's a song more suited to Rock Band than Guitar Hero.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #24 on:** December 12, 2007, 09:56:59 PM »

OoS has the best guitar shit, Absolution is all him yelling

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #25 on:** December 12, 2007, 09:58:12 PM »

if a muse pack comes out, i will throw you down the stairs, punch foc's mom out, piss in mupepe's mouth and VOTE RON PAUL with joy
