It has come to pass that the boys from Activision are putting legal pressure on Sony to keep them from releasing the patch that was supposed to release last week. The patch for EA & Harmonix’s Rock Band for PS3 was supposed to allow the Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controller for Guitar Hero III for PS3 to function with Rock Band.
Activision must really be pissed off at the whole idea of Rock Band because they’re doing everything to prevent compatibility with the game. Perhaps they don’t realize that this move won’t help them sell more copies of Guitar Hero III, rather it might just boost Rock Band peripheral sales, namely the Fender Stratocaster controllers for Rock Band.
Someone in their corporate brass must think this a good move, unfortunately nobody else does. Rock Band for PS3 goes for $170, and it’s well worth it.
