Two weeks ago, Harmonix created a software patch for the Sony PLAYSTATION 3 version of Rock Band that allowed for guitar compatibility and support for third party peripherals, including enabling use of Activision's Guitar Hero III controller with Rock Band. The compatibility patch was submitted, approved and had been scheduled for release by Sony on Tuesday, December 4. Unfortunately, Activision objected to the release of the compatibility patch.

Standalone wireless guitars for Guitar Hero 3 on all platforms will be available in early 2008 according to a recent press release from Activision. Wireless models are currently only available to Playstation 3 and Wii owners as part of the retail package, which includes the game and not at all to those who own the XBox 360 or PS2 versions.

[Nyko has] gone ahead and released their own guitar, one that avoids the whole mess and gives PS3 owners a single peripheral that'll work on both games. Dubbed the Front Man, it'll come bundled with a dongle that lets you select which game you're playing, and the guitar will respond with the requisite compatibility.
