PS3 guitar compatibility hints from EA

[yupsolo]

Which controllers are compatible with Rock Band?
Answer

Rock Band is compatible with most third party peripherals. While the Rock Band hardware is the only hardware guaranteed to work with the game, Harmonix has an open platform philosophy of enabling the Rock Band Software to work with as many third party peripherals as possible. PlayStation 2 peripherals are generally compatible but may require a 3rd party adapter to function properly. In these cases, the Pelican adapter is recommended.

Unfortunately, the Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul is not compatible.

can't wait to try it. I got a ps2 guit+the pelican adapter.

This adapter worked perfectly for the GH1 but sucked for the others....

[PinkFloyd]

didn't someone already tried to use the PS2-controller with the Pelican? Without satisfactory result I might add...

Guys, there's a huge thread on this already. There is no option at this point except for the Fender Strat.

[GHudston]

hmm... this makes me think... wasn't there a large selection of third part controller for the ps2? Perhaps they mean these controls will work, not the GH1/2 guitars? Has anyone tried?

what is the pelican adapter?

[IbanezBassist_v2]

Its a PS2/USB adapter that allows you to use your PS2 controllers on the PS3.

I don't understand this statement from EA. I thought numerous folks here on the board have tried all different combinations of PS2 controllers and adapters, and nothing worked. Am I missing something?

PLZ Hurry up and have new guitars and drums for sale to add to my band. This game is too awsome!:p

I tired a ps2 controler with a pelican adaptor and it didn't work. it read it as a reguler controler.

Does anybody know which companies will be developing 3rd party guitars/drums? It would super cool for some company to develop a drum kit that actually had a kick drum pad where you can have your virtual bands logo in the front.
