Guitar Hero III - Blu-ray Forum

Have not heard about backwards compatibility with previous Rock Band games, that is a good question. My inital guess is that they would work, hell PS3 controllers work, just a matter of buttons... I would be suprised if they where not backwards compatible.

As far as cross-game compatibility, this is a little more tough, as although the games may read the buttons the same, the buttons themselves may not be the same on each guitar.... I am sure you will be able to use guitars on both game, but I doubt that all the buttons will be the same.. so if you hit yellow on a GH3 guitar, it may be hitting a different cord on the rock band guitar.. although I am not 100% on that either..

Yes the Rock Band Guitar will work with GH3. The creators of Rock Band have confirmed this numerous times in Game Informer, EGM, Joystiq.com, etc.

And by the way, I am getting both. Woot. I am a drummer, which sealed Rock Band for me. Already have them both Pre-ordered. The only downside is that Rock Band comes out on Black Friday. Hopefully I don't get mugged trying to get it.

Awesome, thank you...I was just a bit confused and wasn't sure about those extra buttons.

Since the guitars are interchangeable, I will most likely be buying both games then. Originally just GH3

What I'd like to know is what level of Audio Quality is on the PS3 verison. They didn't go lossless/PCM did they?

That's a good question and I almost asked the guy at Gamestop. I only stopped when I realized he probably wouldn't know what the heck I was talking about.

Good call, you saved yourself some needless frustration.
