Hello,

Since in FAQ there is an information only about Xbox360 and PS3 i would like to ask about PS2.

Will the PS3 instruments work with PS2 version ? Or PS2 instruments work with PS3 ?
I know that with Xbox360 there is a problem since the Microsoft crypt chip, but maybe for Sony consoles this problem wont occur ?

Sincerely,
Eliot

Oh sure....RB will work with MOST music controllers. Hmmm, where have I heard that before?
It would not surprise me at all to find that PS2 controllers don't work with anything but PS2 consoles.

Apparently, the PS2 and PS3 guitars are interchangeable. No guarantee on the drums, but speculation is that they will work as well.

Hopefully this is the case.

Cheers.

Yes this has been confirmed by numerous news outlets as well as HMX employees (who did not confirm the LP would work with PS3) that the guitars are interchangable.

I haven't seen a definitive word on the drums or mic, but through a USB hub they should all work but the guitar is a guarantee.

Not if you play them on a PS3. I'm not sure about PS2. But I would lean towards no.
