Activision Blocks Support for GH2 Controller in PS3 Rock Band

Shacknews carries word from Harmonix that the promised guitar compatibility patch for the PS3 version of Rock Band has been blocked by Activision, the publisher of the Guitar Hero series. It

“Two weeks ago, Harmonix created a software patch for the Sony PLAYSTATION 3 version of Rock Band that allowed for guitar compatibility and support for third party peripherals, including enabling use of Activision’s Guitar Hero III controller with Rock Band,” the company told Shacknews. “Unfortunately, Activision objected to the release of the compatibility patch; the patch remains with Sony, but we have been told that it will unfortunately not be released due to Activision’s continued objection.”

Quite interestingly, the Xbox 360 version of the game features full support for the Guitar Hero 2 guitar controller. It remains unclear as to what exactly Activision is trying to achieve by doing this.
