ok i just bought a PS3 (80 gig) and my mom and my sister got mad because now we dont have a guitar for guitar hero 1\2\ and Rock the 80s does anyone know what Guitars will work for Guitar Heros from the PS2 for the PS3?
I hope this answers your question:
"Sony's PlayStation 3 console has no compatibility with the PlayStation 2 Guitar Hero controller on the system. While Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II are fully backward-compatible through the hardware PlayStation 2 emulation in the initial North American release of the console, it was impossible at launch to use the guitar controller to play either game. Kai Huang, of RedOctane, states that they are "working on that with Sony right now – looking at how we can get all the PlayStation 2 guitars that are out there, and all the owners of them, to use them on the PlayStation 3."[15] Nyko, an accessories company, was poised to make a special PlayStation 2 controller adapter for the PlayStation 3, but has put the product on hold due to technical difficulties.[16]
However, the May 2007 PlayStation 3 V1.80 system update has made the guitar controller compatible with generic PlayStation 2 controller to USB adapters when playing Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II.[17] In addition, Pelican has released a special PlayStation 2 to PlayStation 3 controller adapter that supports both games, including the ability to switch the handedness of the guitar.[18] At present, hammer-ons and pull-offs still cannot be performed using adapters, and some players complain of problems with latency. Both games can still be played using the shoulder buttons on a standard controller, if desired.
Neither game is currently able to work on versions of the PlayStation 3 that use software emulation for PlayStation 2 titles (the newer PlayStation 3 models in North America, all European and Japanese models)."
