Did you by any chance check to see if this is compatible with Guitar Hero 1,2 and 80's Edition when playing on PS3?

The Ant Commandos have 2 new guitars that work for all PS2 & PS3 guitar hero's and also Rock Band on PS2 & PS3.
They should be coming out this month and I'll make a decision based on their reviews;
Guitar ($50): http://store.theantcommandos.com/product-p/drv-wl-blkv3.htm
Bass($60): http://store.theantcommandos.com/product-p/bss-wl-blkv3.htm

Does this controller have the same "lag / response / interference" issues that the official controller has? Compared to the GH3 controller for the Wii / 360, the PS3 one is a joke... Just blows my mind how terrible it is by comparison.

I've been interested in this controller from Nyko, but I'm still worried about the same interference problems... One would think going w/ the corded option would resolve the issue.

Any word on the guitar that will come with GH Aerosmith? If they actually release a bluetooth controller with it, I'd rather just wait until June.

Perhaps it's fixed that "lag" that you're talking about, because I do perform much better with the Nyko controller.

Does anyone know if this fits in the Guitar Hero "Dual Gig Bag"? Just wondering, cause it'd be a nice perk if it did...

Also, is anyone going to review the TAC Widow Maker? That one's been on my radar for a little while now as well, coming out soon and sounds great, as well...

There is no way the TAC guitar will work with GH1 and GH2 on the PS3. When you start the PS2 games the PS3 turns off the USB ports. So any controller that has a USB dongle won't work.

I guess the next question is... has anyone actually FOUND one of these anywhere?

I think that's a bit deceitful on their part. It will work with GH I and II, but I think they mean on the PS2. What a sneaky way of advertising!

Does the PS3 FrontMan work with the PS2 version of Guitar Hero I, II, III and Rock Band?

You mean...Nyko actually made a decent peripheral for once?! I'm floored.

Actually, from the sounds of it, it's better than the Rock Band Strat. Makes me wish there was a 360 version.

My Nyko Frontman guitar controller for PS3 arrived today, but I could not get it to link at all. =(

UPDATE: My Nyko Frontman for PS3 works now! The link button on the USB adapter was pressed in and was stuck, so i popped it out. It worked perfectly on both GH3 and RB for PS3!

I bought 2 of these and they work flawlessly. I say F both activision and harmonix. I bought their games used on ebay and paid well spent money on these guitars. My GF and I play together on GH3 & Rock Band all the time and we have had absolutely no issues. I wouldn't recomend this guitar for left handed players though. It's strange shape is only functional right-side up.

I also have a ps2 so I'm going to buy GH 1&2 and see if they work.

i just bought this guitar today, and i'm pretty pleased with it. i like the "clicky" strumming. and i absolutely hate the rock band guitar... so i like this one much better ^_^ the only thing that really was bothering me was that the linking instructions are WRONG! for anyone having trouble linking the controller, you need to press the "ps" button 3 times, and it will link.
