Anyone ready for screw the PS3 owners?

Check out the Rock Band forum. Apparantly the GH3 controller for PS3 is not compatiable with RockBand....

Rock band needs some white zombie and the La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1, wicked guitars and drums on that album.

Are you serious? I Was going to pick up a second guitar for rock band. Can anyone confirm this? This is what I have seen. I guess I will get a Les Paul and rent GH3 down the road since I will be broke after Rock Band!

"Harmonix has confirmed Guitar Hero guitar controllers and additional third-party controllers are compatible with the game, including the new Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Gibson Les Paul controllers . However, the Rock Band Stratocaster guitar is reportedly not compatible with Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock."

thats not that shocking since GH3 is made by a different company now

ever since the two companies been split apart you would be lucky if they still said hi to each other

I would like to see Hellbilly Deluxe as well. Living Dead Girl, Dragula, and Superbeast are among my favorite Zombie tracks. Would also like to see NIN's the Downward Spiral and Wish too. Am I the only one who is pissed that the song packs for Rock Band are over $1 cheaper than GH3?

Our good friend dgator783 posted this for 10% off at EBgames/Gamestop.
Thanks Gator!

Ok so tell me what instrument you would like to play and some of your favorite songs. We have to start our own group from Blu-Ray.com

[Agent23]

Anyone plan on getting this tomorow?

How hard will it be to find the complete set-up in stores (game, guitar, mic, drums)?

I have it on pre-order w/Amazon. But, I am thinking about trying to find one at Wal*Mart, because it says its not known when it will ship from Amazon, due to the high demand and when I pre-ordered it.

I dont think it will be hard to find at all. Print off the coupon above and head to gamestop/ebgames. Then let me know when its time to rock out online together.

Apparently it has been delayed until mid December in Canada. And that sucks!!! As for what instrument I would play.... ALL OF THEM!!! I had a chance to try the game at a Playstation Holiday Preview event and actually wanted to play all parts so badly that I had to wait for others to pick their parts so that I would be left with only the one choice! The people at the event must have been very tolerant, becuase, oddly enough, I found myself with the mic far more than any human ear should be subjected to.

As long as I get to sing CREEP!

[dgator783]

i already have my alarm set for 9am...getting to EB at 10am when the store opens...driving home at a high rate of speed...quickly putting together the drums and rocking out till 2pm when I have to go to work....boo to work...

[evo_dadi]

i tested rockband at BB over the weekend and im not impressed with the strat,it feels like some cheap toy guitar than something you use to play with but good thing the les paul works on it so i might use that more.and im definitely gonna be beating the hell out of those drums!!

[kotton247]

I pick mine up from pre-order at 10am tomorrow. I am off work until Friday, so I will own the drums all week (since thats what I play in real life )

[bluperch]

I'm also picking mine up tomorrow at 10a.m. from GameStop. The nice female GameStop voice called me earlier tonight to confirm that my pre-order would be in-store tomorrow. I'll be playing all three, though not at the same time. My wife and I are "working from home" tomorrow, so we'll be rockin' out.

I sent Harmonix an email requesting more chick songs. They said they're working on it for the download service.

[chris5138522]

I totally agree with you. My wife has nothing to do with GH but loves Karaoke revolutions, when I saw the set list, 2 female songs I believe, I was very dissapointed for her.
