PS3 Rock Band getting controller compatibility patch today photo

Harmonix's Sean Baptiste claims there's a PlayStation 3 Rock Band patch coming today that will address "PS3 controller compatability," and we tend to believe the guy when he talks. 

Available today is a routine update for the PLAYSTATION 3 version of Rock Band that addresses a number of items related to guitar controller compatibility. Should Rock Band owners choose to obtain the update, they will need broadband internet access connected to their PLAYSTATION 3. The update will be downloaded once the game is started. 

No definite word on what this "PS3 controller compatability routine patch" addresses, but it's safe to assume that this will allow gamers to rock with the wireless Guitar Hero III controller. Unfortunately, the patch doesn't seem to be available at the time of writing, but we'd guess it's just a matter of time. So keep your pants on ... unless that's just how you roll.

@Pariah: I had to laugh at that one. PS3 Rock Bands sold out faster than XBox 360 Rock Bands in Maryland that I know of. At our Best Buys, they were stocked in equal quantities.

I have it for PS3, but the only other guitar I have is the PS2 GH2 controller and alas I doubt this patch is covering that. BUT my replacement guitar should be here today, missed the damn delivery man yesterday.

On a barely tangential note... I just decided that I would very much like to see a picture of a hot girl playing Guitar Hero or Rock Band in the nude.

I have it, I'm just hoping that there is some compatibility between using the rockband guitar, and playing guitar hero.

Baron Calico... a quick Google image search for "guitar hero nude" came up with this picture: "http://www.hornyoldgoat.com/baileythumbs/set1/c1.jpg"

I have it, and I have GH3 sealed. I was going to return it, (GH3), but now... a patch!

Except that it's delayed.

And they aren't saying why.

Also, cocks up consumer's anal cavities.

Also, buttsecks.


That is all.

Let's hope this is the fix they've been looking for, because it would suck buying the PS3 version and not being able to play with four people.

IS THERE ANYTHING FOR THE PS3 THAT DOESN'T NEED PATCHING, THEY DID MAKE SOME PART OF THIS CONSOLE FOR GAMES?....DIDNT THEY?!!!....

@hollywooda: Uh... first, it's pretty much just to expand the options of the game, making it better. Second, None of my other games have needed patching and the firmware updates have only improved the overall capability of the PS3, kind of like how MS updates XBLA...

Go here and add your comment to this topic in the GH forums. We need to let Activision know how the gaming-faithful feel about this.
