It’s been almost 3 months now since the release of Rock Band, and PS3 owners are still left out in the cold for that elusive second guitar. Xbox 360 and PS2 owners have been able to use Guitar Hero controllers since day one to complete their 4 person band. But for whatever reason, PS3 users have been neglected. We all heard about the patch that was completed and blocked by Activision to remedy the issue, then it just went away.

As an owner for Rock Band for PS3, I have to say it’s very disappointing. I think EA will make a ton of money once the standalone guitars are released. In the same breath, I think Activision lost a ton of money on Guitar Hero sales. Many gamers would have gone out and picked up a copy of Guitar Hero 3 for PS3 for that extra guitar. But because of the patch being blocked, there’s no reason. And why haven’t we heard anything else about that patch? The two companies just can’t come to an agreement to work out for gamers, the exact group of people that should matter most here?

I can understand it’s about money and using other company’s technologies, but come on. If it works for the other two platforms, there should be absolutely no issue with it working on every platform. That’s it for my rant for today. I’m going back to nursing this insane hangover from the Super Bowl
