Couldn't find a Rock Band thread for PS3 so opened one.
Any idea when this game will arrive in our shores and price?
Sadly the GH3 controller is incompatible with Rock Band :(

any1 getting this game? i've heard from our neighbor the game
is region locked for the 360

and it doesnt comes with a
bass guitar / extra guitar. you have to purchase it later next year.
izit true?

Yeah from what i have read, Rock Band comes with one guitar, one set of drums, and on mic. The game and accessories will only be sold separately in the UK on February 4 next year.
The XBOX 360 Xplorer guitar can be played on both Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
But PS3's Guitar Hero guitars cannot be used to play Rock Band (altho the other way round is possible - just without the extra 'effects')
Since it just came out for PS3, i guess will have to wait some time before it arrives here..

i went to games hideout in cineleisure 2 days back to inquire about this game, and according to the guy there he said they are waiting for the asian version to be released.
If buy from US, the game set(inc the instruments) alone is roughly RM700 + shipment another RM300, already RM1k, who gonna buy?
here's hoping they release it here fast!

Meh if it goes above RM750, I won't even be considering it.

been waiting for this game, but yea, if it's gonna be above RM600 then i'm gonna past. might as well buy the drums, guitar, and mic seperately.

have you seen how big is the box set?
nikita
Dec 2 2007, 11:19 AM
yea...saw a lil bit of the box..quite bulky eh ?
actually do u think its better if let say
1 of us buy 1 full set..and buy 1 extra copy of the game..
den we just divide accordingly?
like let say..i oni need the drums..maybe u wan the guitar..since they don sell seperately..we jus buy 1 set..den all we need is just 1 more copy of the game? then we can just divide the cost of the package+extra copy game... den only divide out according which instrument we wan?
this way i think it might be less expensive..

i need drums too :/
but the guitar gameplay is abit easy compared to GH3.
doesnt seem that much challenging either.

Dec 2 2007, 06:53 PM

ahaa!!...den ..problem lar

who need GUITAR??
me drums also

Dec 5 2007, 10:58 AM
lol looks like better option is to wait until they start selling individual instruments then just get the game + the drums/guitar/mic lor...
just got a quote from bernard...it's RM 750 for the bundle.
and yea, terion's idea seems more reasonable. better get individual instruments instead of the bundle. can't be bothered to fork out RM 750 for a game lol.

izzit the same price for the PS2 version?
if we get the individual instrument, then how bout
the game itself

Yep, you need an additional guitar. But it seems that they might release a patch to make it work with the GH3 guitar.

It will be difficult for Harmonix cos
QUOTE
The Harmonix team has posted up a message that they have completed a software patch for the PS3 version of Rock Band that allowed for guitar compatibility and support for third party peripherals including Activision's Guitar Hero III controller. Unfortunately, the patch has been with Sony for quite some time but due to Activision continuing to reject the release of the patch it doesn't look like it will see the light of the day

The PS3 does have PS3 connectors....and GH3 and Rock Band are both compatible with the GH2 controller....it may work...
