I don't see why they should from a business stand point. Yes it would be nice but I didn't expect them to make it work.

whoah, we both covered this.

Rock Band > Guitar Hero 3

This is an easy fix. Just don't buy GH3. Buy RB instead. Done and done.

Incompatibilty hurts the consumer, spin it how you want, this is a dick move by Red Octane.

Ouch.

My PS3 ghIII works on Rock Band.

Activision....that's a bitch move. A bitch move, indeed.

Thats funny, I recall people having issues with the connectors from the head of the Guitar to the Body for Guitar Hero...
As well as this whole mono disc...
Oh shit! I forgot that Activision is just making up excuses to not support Rock Band controllers, just like when they took that other company to court over making controllers that were compatible with Guitar Hero! God I forget these things.

Wow...real mature, RedOctane.

WOW. how arrogant.

I'm not going to buy another GH game again. RB > GH anyway.

why would you want your competitor's peripherals work on your game? so they can cash-in on your game? it's all movie driven, but what bothers me is it would have been better if they made rock band's guitar compatible with GH3 so they can cash-in on THEIR GAME.

:(.

Read the entire interview people, before you jump down RedOctane's throats.

this pissed me off so much. me and a friend split the cost of RB. he was going to get the drums and I was taking that Guitar so that I could play it on GH3 while he had the RB game. well imagine my surprise when I couldn't use it at all on GH3. I just about smashed the dam thing on the 360 but a cooler head prevailed.

hi guys i am new to the site and i wanna make a few comments about everything microsoft is doing with the 360 and dont think that i am bashing them because i own one.

Charging you for downloadable content that you SHOULD get is BULLSHIT. every pc game i own lets me download patches, updates, bonus maps, weapons and every fucking thing else i want for free without having to purchase Microsoft Points.

ANother gripe is to the fact that microsoft will throw its name on anything just to make a buck. Lack of product testing has lead to too many people losing out on their stuff. With the pricing thats going on today thats pretty much an investment for kids and thier parents.

Fuck the new rock band guitar because i have had it for two days and it is broken already. 2 DAYS!!!!! And guess what, i hve to wait a week or two to get my replacement. which some people who got their replacements say they did not get a working replacement. SO AS PETER GRIFFIN SAYS " NOW I PLAY THE WAITING GAME>"

Its really not as hard as it sounds. Sure red octane is at fault STOP COVERING IT UP I have read all the interviews red octane was doing what they thought was a smart move which all of us would have done and that was not made it compatible with Rb guitars. They were looking to get more sales for the guitars, which is what any good business would want is more sales. RB don't mind sharing because look who pays for it MTV, EA games, they could really care less about selling a $30 guitar, when they just sold a $200 game also that knowing their suppliers cost like $60 for them to make it all possible. What red octane didn't think of is this. A kid has RB and GH3. His other friend come over to play. Well since obviously they cant both play GH3 with 2 guitars they are going to use RB so they can both use guitars. The other friend thinks he had so much fun playing RB that he decides to bug his mom until she buys him it and so on. Now if he got a chance to play GH3 maybe they could have shit out another sell. It is that simple really. They just didn't think of it all the way threw like they should have. But good luck having people own RB and GH3 and decide that GH3 is so much better they will pay like $70 bucks on top of the $100 they spent on GH3 in the first place. Because the only people who will actually say RB is gay is people who wont put out $200 for it cuz their cheap ass. If you think of it play multi player on GH3 with 2 guitars, your paying the same just about. face it RB out did GH3, it had a good run. I still bought GH3 I find it more challenge when it comes to
Guitar, but I like my RB more, I can play more instuments, create my character, and play with all my friends. Its better. Face it.
