So I put this up in the annoucement forum, and I dunno if its been put out here before, but its a response from Activision about the Compatibility patch. I got it from their website. I dunno if its been posted already, but i just found it, so I thought i would put it out there...

To Music Gaming Fans:

The recent announcement by MTV Games/Viacom's Harmonix division that Activision is blocking Sony from releasing a patch and their plea to enable Rock Band software to work with Guitar Hero hardware paints a very misleading picture.

In fact, Harmonix and its parent company MTV Games/Viacom recently declined Activision's offer to reach an agreement that would allow the use of Guitar Hero guitar controllers with Rock Band. We have been and remain open to discussions with Harmonix and MTV Games/Viacom about the use of our technology in Rock Band. Unfortunately for Rock Band users, in this case Harmonix and MTV Games/Viacom are unwilling to discuss an agreement with Activision.

Activision's top priority is to provide consumers with a seamless marriage of best-in-class hardware and software. We are focusing our efforts on innovating hardware and software that are designed to work together, work flawlessly and provide an enjoyable gaming experience.

Best regards,

Activision

Yes ..... this has been posted before.


The statement I quoted says to me ....... PAY US MONEY AND WE'LL ALLOW IT.

Appearently they're not smart enough to understand that would sell thousands of their LesPauls just by allowing it.

I can't see HMX,MTV, or EA paying anything to Activision.
