Notes:
* Can navigate menus, but during the songs the green button is stuck down, orange is red, and everything else is dead
** Interestingly, the drums are recognized, so you can actually navigate menus using them, but playing songs is a no go.
*** From Harmonix spokesperson: "Support for the GHIII guitar peripherals in Rock Band on the Wii was not possible without Activision's permission. Therefore, any questions regarding lack of compatibility with GH III hardware should be directed to Activision."

Tell us how much better the Wii version is again, Fernando.

Seriously, I have read a lot of comments of you, and you always mention me, even if I not saying anything... that's why I love my stalkers! You took time of your life just to bash me... thanks =p
And yes, I do think that this is an inferior version, but not because Nintendo. It's because Harmonix/EA.
You know, thats why I have a 360 too. But you, you have to deal with inferior version always in the PS3.
Just like Guitar Hero III Wii is outselling the PS3 version, Rock Band Wii will outsell the PS3 version, even if is a gimped version.
And the only reason why 360 and PS2 version are outselling the Wii GH, is because they can buy only the game.
Which one of us is in love with you?
I'm pretty sure it's not me.
Even though I know where your casa is in Laredo, TX. And that you enjoy long walks on the beach. And that every night you cry yourself to sleep because you don't have a strong handsome man to cuddle beside you.
/creepy
I was replying to John.
Well this certainly is awkward.
Also, GH/Rock band suck!!!
Disclaimer: I have absolutely zero sense of rhythm.
You would love that wouldn't you....
I am not even going to get into it but you have responded to all my threads today so that makes you a stalker to... Its all in good fun anyway isn't it????
I just think your a funny little troll.... You will spin anything six ways to Sunday in favor of a Nintendo product... So I went ahead and stated the obvious that you would somehow in the same breath marganalize Sony and Praise Nintendo like you always do....
Thats all.... If it makes you feel better about yourself to call me a stalker you can go ahead... maybe that will even give your arguments more credibility... Kind of a character assassination....
Carry on....
Consider yourself STALKED DUN DUN DUN
One more thing...
"Ah, by the way John...
Just like Guitar Hero III Wii is outselling the PS3 version, Rock Band Wii will outsell the PS3 version, even if is a gimped version.
And the only reason why 360 and PS2 version are outselling the Wii GH, is because they can buy only the game."
So what is your point anyway Fernando? The Wii outnumbers PS3's by what nearly double or even more? So by that logic shouldn't it sell more units? But, it certainly is gimped compared to the 360 & the PS3 version. There is no denying that fact. It is in fact a gimped piece of shit in comparison. The Wii has proven that shitty games can sell millions. Just look at Mario and Sonic at the olympics for an imiediate example of that fact. I give credit where credit is due and I even like some of my Wii games. Using stats to fuel your pointless argument just marganalizes you even more. Big whoopty doo the Wii version may sell more. What does this mean Fernando? Does it mean that that version is better? Does it means Nintendo Pwns Sony? Does it mean anything et all? I think it means you are grasping for straws.
Lol you're right!
Ironically, that makes you and I a hypocrite :(
Wii ROCK BAND INFERIOR; FERNANDO DECLARES: "BUY ANYWAY, TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM!"
...As though that's a substitute for one's personal enjoyment of a quality version: more people getting an inferior version of a great game. If you wanna talk about numbers, then I guess you could end up right. But if you wanna talk about playing Rock Band, then I'll take the PS3 over the Wii any one-bar count-in of the day.
In fact, I own if for the 360 and the PS3 and the PS3 is the superior version in my opinion, only inferior in the lack of 'voice chat' online. Otherwise, the PS3 has wireless guitars, a cleaner, faster interface for joining a local multiplayer band, and the ability to use the DLC on multiple PS3s.
But any version of Rock Band is bound to be fun, so I'll just say "Buyers do your research." Hate to have people disappointed when they find out they can't download any Boston or Oasis songs.
It's even better cus it works with the PC GH3 too!
BTW Joystiq, can you make a PC version table? I want to know if the Rock Band guitar works :(

What works without any effort beyond putting it in the hole (beides your mom?) is just the 360 wired xplorer.
The Les Paul requires a wireless adapter, and isn't officially supported.
The ps3 and ps2 versions require another adapter, I believe. Bluetooth?
I can confirm the wireless adapter/360 les paul works wonderfully for GH3 PC.
I get a big "fuck you" from activision in this table. Anybody else see it?
The strat does indeed work with frets on fire,I was using it just yesterday.

Activision doesn't like making money obliviously to let their guitar work on another guitar based game (meaning the person would have to buy GHIII bundle anyway to use the guitar for both the Wii and PS3)
Activision = Fun Sucker

Cuz, I hope it tanks and HMX just puts the big Cock Block on and puts out some incredibly awesome DLC that week. 10x more awesome then Boston this week.
I think they would wake up a bit after that.

Jesus wanna brawl?
But I don't play online. It just lags too much for me. There's always at least a 1 second delay on my button presses. It's annoying to me.
Because you could at least hold the Les Paul and LG without it feeling awkward as hell.

The only issue i see with Rock Band for ps3 is that GH3 guitars won't work for it. Which is activisions fault.
Just like this is NINTENDOS fault for not having a hard drive and a non gymped online community. I like nintendo, and i love my wii, but what makes you think that this is EA's fault? Do you expect them to send out a Hard Drive attachment so that DLC will work on a system that doesnt have a HD? I don't get it. This is nintendo's fault 100%

Is that a serious question?
We are talking about Fernando "PS3 ARE SUCZ" Rocker here right?
Researchers have been studying Fernando since he joined Joystiq and even THEY don't know why he hates the PS3 so much.
He's just a hater, I guess.
I call shenanigans on them being blocked by Activision.
