Hi Everyone:

PS3 ROCK BAND DISC EXPORT TITLE UPDATE
First and foremost, we’re happy to announce that PS3 users will soon be able to export RB1 songs to their system in advance of the launch of RB2! A PS3 patch will be coming out this Thursday, September 11th, which will allow RB1 song export, in addition to updating DLC to our RB2 standards (so you can continue to rock the newer content in RB1 if you so choose!) This title update will also patch for the use of the Guitar Hero III Les Paul PS3 Controller with RB1 on the PS3. We're excited to release this, as controller compatibility is something we've been working towards for a long time.

This Rock Band 1 title update is set to come out next Thursday. As with the Xbox 360 Title Update, you will have to update Rock Band in order to play any DLC that is released after Thursday.

PAX PACK
This leads us to the PAX pack which was released yesterday on the PlayStation Store. Due to technical issues with the submission of "Livin on the Corner of Dude and Catastrophe" by MC Frontalot, users who downloaded that track or the entire pack found that they were not able to play this content in the game. Furthermore, downloading the pack meant that all 3 songs in the pack failed to load.

We're aware of this issue and are taking multiple steps to fix it. We are resubmitting the tracks to Sony today and hope to have fixed content up on the PlayStation store as soon as possible. Users will then be able to replace the broken tracks by re-downloading this content for no additional charge. If you don’t feel like re-downloading this content and can wait a week, the title update that is launching on 9/11 will fix it automatically. We appreciate your patience.

Again, we're dedicated to bringing you the best in weekly content for any music game out there. We're transitioning from single title Rock Band DLC to a cross-title DLC system which will allow you to play your DLC in both Rock Band 1 and Rock Band 2 DLC (an industry first!), so we hope you can be patient as we figure out the little hiccups here and there.

ROCK,
HMX Community, PR, and Audio

Sounds confusing.

Isnt the DLC already downloaded to the hard drive?? I guess thats what the patch does. Its enables the songs to be played and intertwined with RB2?

This title update will also patch for the use of the Guitar Hero III Les Paul PS3 Controller with RB1 on the PS3.

totally confusing except for this part!!!!

Doesnt help me as I dont have the GH guitar but if it means we can play the Guitar Hero games with the RB instruments, I need to rent these!!

I have the GHIII Les Paul Guitar, and if anyone else can confirm that it now works for the PS3 on Rockband, I will have the disc, and able to play with anyone

someone that has tried this let me know, as I really want to get this disc, and dont want to wait til mid november to get the new bundle with Rockband 2

Id like to know this info as well since if the RB instruments are compatible with GH, I would buy both since they both seem real solid.

I went and grabbed this from the old forums

The days of cluttering your house with multiple plastic guitars appear to be ending.

Sony has been working with Neversoft and Activision, Harmonix, and Konami to get everyone on the same page about how guitar and drum set controllers will work on the PlayStation 3, according to Michael Shorrock, Sony Computer Entertainment America director of third party relations. What this means for you, the consumer, is that one company's peripherals should work with another company's game -- titles such as Guitar Hero: World Tour, Rock Band 2, and Rock Revolution.

Over on the PlayStation Blog, Shorrock cited the following examples…

* Rock Band 2's guitar and drum set will work with Guitar Hero: World Tour and with Rock Revolution.

* Rock Revolution's drum set will work with both Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2.

* Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2 will both support the SingStar microphones.

"We're still working hard to ensure compatibility between the Guitar Hero and Rock Band titles currently on the market, and we hope to have an announcement on that shortly," Shorrock wrote. "Of course each of these great games have their own specific cool features that may not be compatible with the other controllers, but this is our first big step in bringing a level of compatibility to music games that is sure to benefit PlayStation 3 consumers."

But what about the FIRST Rock Band guitar and drums??

Will those work with the new Guitar Hero?? Not the 2nd set of instruments being put out in the new pack.

I guess maybe thats what they are talking about in that last paragraph.
