Stop complaining that europeans are paying more in dollars. America is in a recession and the dollar is worth half of what the pound and euro are. You can't do exact conversions on prices anymore. When 1 dollar equals 1 pound/euro again, then you can complain.
It's not a good move from any standpoint. People would buy their product to use with guitar hero. Harmonix isn't trying to make their guitar compatible with guitar hero. If it didn't work on the 360 I could understand it but all they are doing is making PS3 owners mad.
I know I will not support activision until they let the patch come out for free. All this does is make me want to support rockband more. If I miss out on some good games so be it.
Having to wait for demos isn't what bothers me, it's stuff like the DLC for Bioshock that I couldn't download. Thats free content for a game that I have already paid for and I shouldn't have to wait an extra week to download it.
Since the most popular games on XBOX live are games that I don't own(Halo and Gears), I have no reason to shell out $100 for the wireless adapter and another $50 a year, just to get stuff when it is released.
This is almost exactly how the PS2 launched. There were shortages in the US, it didn't get released in Europe at the same time, the dreamcast had a year head start to the market and a cheaper price; and the PS2 still beat the dreamcast. So a slow launch doesn't mean that the PS3 is going to fail. Sony went through this once and still managed to come out on top so if any company can survive this it's Sony.
