PS3 Trouble

[Skeeter91]

Alright, so I began playing Rock Band online earlier this afternoon, and everything was fine. I downloaded the new versions of the PS3 and RB and every thing was fine. But whenever the screen had to show a loading message, or going back to past menus, the game would freeze. It also freezes after I play a song online, and now in local multiplayer as well. I replaced the disk at Wal-Mart came home, and it STILL does it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I love this game, and would love to play with others.

Feel I should note that I had Rock Band two months without a single problem, until I went online.

Bumping this for an answer.

Same thing JUST happened to me.

i had to send my ps3 in to sony for a replacement because the blu-ray lens was fried. i just received a new ps3 on friday. later that night i popped in rock band and started a new solo guitar tour. everything was fine until i played Wave of Mutilation. at the loading screen after the song ended, it froze. The drummer wouldn't even start moving. It also does this right after The Hand that Feeds. I've tried in solo tour and quickplay and get the same result. I thought it was the disc, but the disc is clean with no scratches.

Could it be hte new ps3 update 2.17 that's messing things up?

[Skeeter91]

Thats what I think, my PS3 is fine with other games, and only after I updated did I start having problems.

i know this whole guitar hero guitar thing is kind of a dead subject but i think its funny that mtvgames and activision are saying to diffrent things!!! it pisses me off to have spent like 200 dollars on gh3 stuff and another 169.99 on rock band and not be able to use them together. down below is activisions side and mtv games/ harmonix's side tell me what you think.



this is activision's side of the story
"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"

this is harmonix and mtv games side of the story
"Hi Everyone,

As we have said in the past, Harmonix and MTV Games believe in an open standard philosophy of hardware and game compatibility. We think that there should be interoperability between music instrument controllers across all music games. This is clearly in the best interest of consumers, game developers and console manufacturers and will only help to grow the music game genre as well as inspire innovation and creativity.

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 compatibility patch was submitted, approved and had been scheduled for release by Sony on Tuesday, December 4. Unfortunately, Activision objected to the compatibility patch's release. The patch remains with Sony, but we have been told that it will unfortunately not be released due to Activision's continued objection.

As is the case with the Microsoft Xbox360, we believe that Sony PLAYSTATION 3 users should be able to use the peripheral of their choice with Rock Band. We sincerely hope that Activision will reverse its decision and allow release of the compatibility patch and further, that Activision will allow Guitar Hero III to support Rock Band guitar controllers as well. We welcome all third party developers who wish to support our controllers and will provide any required support in order for them to do so.

We believe that when consumers have choice, everyone wins. Harmonix and MTV Games hope that Activision and others will also adopt this philosophy.

Sincerely,
The Harmonix Team"
