On Rock Band compatibility-

[darien87]

Ok, this is starting to border on ridiculous. First off, if the box said 'only comptaible with rockband accerories' then they'd be covered. but it doesnt, it leads to to belive other accersories could be used.
is not true. Ps3 users do not equal everyone. 1 guitar does not work, that is a simple fact. The xplorer model and the LP model for 360 works, so don't make it out like only RB accessories work. Second, RO has already made a statement saying they are going to work to make it compatible. Yet the whine fest still continues. What is that? "We want EA/HMX to respond to our crying party"....I would expect them to do so if RB controllers were not working, and they are doing something for the controllers via warranty. I even suspect recalls coming for the guitars...but the gh3 controller is NOT theirs. It is not about defending HMX, it is about having a little common sense. GH3 controllers don't even work with the previous installments of the game, so it sounds to me like 360 owners somehow lucked out and it works some reason. I do not claim to be a technical god....but if a controller is made that only works for the newest release of the series, not the previous 2....it sounds to me like something different was done to it, something that may create problems for another companies game.

Dude, get your facts straight before you continue to make an idiot out of yourself. NO guitar works with the PS 3 other than the one that comes in the box. Stop being a fanboy and get your head out of your butt!!! So right now, there is NO way for a PS 3 owner to be able to play the game as it was intended or advertised, other than buying 2 bundles!!! That is completely unacceptable, and false advertising on the part of EA and Harmonix.

How about actually reading the post before you make yourself look the fool. I never said there was another controller that works for the ps3, nor did HMX state that most 3rd parties would work for the ps3. It was general statement for the game. Therefore, most third party controllers DO. And the SG models do not work, not because of HMX and rock band, but because they are ps2 controller that have not been properly dealt with via sony or hmx or whoever.

Look. I'm not saying it is right or fair, I'm saying stop whining like little girls and see what they do. There are a lot of issues to attend to for them and I am sure the last on the list is to attend to a pity party on the forums, until a resolution has been found.

"It was general statement for the game. Therefore, most third party controllers DO."

What the hell does that mean? I'm AMAZED by how many people defend Harmonix on this issue. Many of us have an Xbox and a PS3 and had to choose between consoles when GH3 came out, for compatibility. Now we're stuck with a big pile of crap. Like I mentioned earlier, my drums barely work.

bylnpnk, your statement is moronic.

While your drums have nothing to do with this, I agree. I think that the sentiment to sue EA/Harmonix is silly, but I am pretty pissed by this. I am more pissed by the fact that the only Harmonix word out of Harmonix is some canned PR crap. I want a simple yes or no on whether or not it will be fixed. I don't need a time frame or an apology, just as yes or no.

I just got off the phone with EA customer support...gotta hand it to them, they were helpful. Doesn't fix the GH3 issue, but they are shipping replacement drums before I send back the defective kit.

Also, the rep said that there should be an announcement this week regarding GH3 compatibility issues...he said the announcement would be posted in these forums.

NICE. That is something to look forward too. Of course, who knows how much a single rep actually knows, but we will see. It's just nice to see that there is some movement on this issue.
