I seriously doubt it will ever happen. The companies that own GH3 and Rockband probably won't put out such a product because it only hurts the sales of the much more expensive guitar's that they sell.<br><br>Personally I'd much rather see a patch that enables inter game controller compatible. I'd really like my GH3 controller to work in Rockband (as my base guitar).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dylan Thurston]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 29th 2008 2:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PS2 to PS3 converter bridges the Rock Band / Guitar Hero divide]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/ps2-to-ps3-converter-bridges-the-rock-band-guitar-hero-divide/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/ps2-to-ps3-converter-bridges-the-rock-band-guitar-hero-divide/</guid><description><![CDATA[They want a patch, not a similar product.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tiuk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 29th 2008 3:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PS2 to PS3 converter bridges the Rock Band / Guitar Hero divide]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/ps2-to-ps3-converter-bridges-the-rock-band-guitar-hero-divide/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/ps2-to-ps3-converter-bridges-the-rock-band-guitar-hero-divide/</guid><description><![CDATA[it does work in RB as your bass.  i do it all the time.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[austin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 29th 2008 6:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PS2 to PS3 converter bridges the Rock Band / Guitar Hero divide]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/ps2-to-ps3-converter-bridges-the-rock-band-guitar-hero-divide/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/ps2-to-ps3-converter-bridges-the-rock-band-guitar-hero-divide/</guid><description><![CDATA[Will this allow me to use my PS2 GH3 controller on PS3 Rock Band?<br><br>If not, then this article is kind of pointless.

It also turned my Dualshock2 into a third (I have a black Sixaxis and a white Dualshock3) controller for COD4 as well.  Meaning, it turns all the PS2 controller into PS3 compatible ones.  Unfortunately, once you plug in a PS2 game, it won't interface (I tried GH2).  For PS3 games, it simulates the PS button by pressing Start+Select at the same time.  For PS2 games, there isn't any option to press the "PS" button.  Hope this helps.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gaston]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 30th 2008 3:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PS2 to PS3 converter bridges the Rock Band / Guitar Hero divide]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/ps2-to-ps3-converter-bridges-the-rock-band-guitar-hero-divide/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/29/ps2-to-ps3-converter-bridges-the-rock-band-guitar-hero-divide/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks, Gaston.
