You'll also be happy to hear that Harmonix is hammering out a fix for the busted PAX Pack, which will also be included with the export patch. Now, if you'll excuse us, we've got to go update the Instrument Matrix ... again.
[Thanks, Chris]

I tried to hold out... I REALLY tried. Bought my second rock band guitar last month and then sure enough. How uncomfortable it will be when I force my friends to use that second stratocaster...

Les Paul compatibility in Rock Band? It's about G-D time!
Now it's Activision's turn to step up for GH3...

This. Do want Strat compatability in 3. And 2 for 360, while we're at it.

Are you serious? I hate the Strat. I can do hammer-ons, pull-offs, and rapid strums much more efficiently on either of the GH guitars.
I will admit that I like the additional 5 frets and quieter strum bar on the Strat though.

wow... i wished they would've done this before i bought the frontman guitar (about a month ago), sigh... i guess it's better than never.

Same here. The Nyko is rather nice IMO. I guess I'll have a 3rd sitting around just in case now. I have no true preference among them, though I'd probably pick the Les Paul over the Strat. Maybe some future iteration will expand the band to a 3rd guitar, so you got bass, lead, and rhythm or something to that extent...

Excellent! I've actually come to prefer the RB strat's frets now, but the friend I play with most swears by his GH3 les paul.

It's for the PS3 version yet you include an image of the 360's GH3 lol. I'm sorry, i'm nitpicking.

Hmm... seeing as I have two of each guitar, I guess this'll give my friends a nice option. Personally, I can't stand the clicking from the Les Paul, even though I do admit it's a lot easier to be accurate with that strummer.

They pretty much did this as incentive to encourage people like me (who only own GH3 and now face a choice whether to get RB2 or GHWT) to go with Rock Band.
Twice as many songs doesn't hurt, either..

So can I only rip the RB tracks that I like? There are some songs on RB that I NEVER want to hear again!
BathTub @ Sep 8th 2008 9:04PM
Yes. Basically everything is exported at once, then you can delete the songs you want too off the harddrive.

This is what I've been waiting for. Now I can turn my back on Guitar Hero and Shark Man Singer.
