Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

I apologize if this has been asked before, but can the Xbox 360 Keyboard be used on the PS3?

Nope, PS3 uses Bluetooth for their wireless tech. 360 uses RF.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Wait, the PS3 one connects directly to the PS3? It doesn't need a dongle anymore?

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Clearly I'm not qualified to answer that question and I apologize for forgetting that extra steps were needed. Have you ever been able to use a 360 Rock Band device with a PS3 with a dongle?

Never tried. Just had an opportunity to pick up the 360 Keyboard on the cheap and didn't know if I could or not. Thanks for your answers though, I do appreciate it!

Dell.com right now has a bundle of the Mustang Pro Guitar with Rock Band 3 for $150.

EDIT: sorry I forgot to note that's for Xbox 360 only.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Excellent. And here I thought the Nirvana pack 2 was a steal. I'm glad I held off on both of those.

Not really. You wasted more than 5 bucks because you could have spent that extra 800 points on something else completely. Sucks to be you.

But truly, is it a waste if money never leaves my account for these things?

Yes. Don't try to justify it to yourself. You fucked up and we laugh at your misfortune.

Word. I bought it on sale even though I hate them and will never play it just out of spite to L&O.

Of course all the tracks I bought in the last month are the ones that were on sale this week.

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Okay, so here's where we are. We own a Wii, and my wife has Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith both with the Les Paul guitar controllers. I'm horrible at all video games and these in particular, but I likes me some country music so I bought the Rock Band Country Track Pack standalone game a while back, and we recently picked up Green Day: Rock Band for my wife (a longtime fan of theirs). With the Les Pauls we can play just fine with the GH games, but there's a lag problem--even with calibration--on the RB games. Given that the Activision-made guitars are all OOP and difficult to come by, what are our best options for a ready-to-use guitar? (And please, no "You need an X-Box" recommendations. Not looking for Wii-bashing.)

Re: The Official Rock Band Thread of Music Game Evolution

Then, you need a PS3.

But seriously, what I would do is just get one of the RB3 guitars. Newegg has them for $60 shipped. They are supposed to be pretty similar to the RB2 guitars, if not functionally the same. I don't know what colors are available, but Newegg has blue and red versions.

Mad Catz's Fender Stratocaster, then? These work well and all that?
