Looks like us PS3 users won't be able to use GHWT drums with Rock Band after all....

Obviously you are talking about the RB1 owners outside of the US who also have the GHWT drumset which is officially out in Australia.

Yeah, they really should patch RB1 and not just RB2. I have the imported RB2 game and the Australian GHWT Band Bundle for PS3. I'm playing RB2 on GHWT drums after the RB2 mid-Nov update. Unfortunately, though the XBox GHWT in Asia is officially released as they got DLC on LIVE, the PS3 is getting the shaft by GHWT (except for Austrlia/NZ) for DLC as the official response it "GHWT is not officially released in the region." WTF?!? but it is officially released on XBOX360. Oh thank you SONY! Obviously Activision likes XBOX better than PS3 in Asia outside of Japan/Australia/NZ.

I find drumming completely boring anyway.. doesn't bother me.. although it does suck for those who were expecting it.. i know how mad i was when the GH3 guitars didn't work with Rockband 1.

The thing is for XB360 the GHWT drums work with RB1 For PS3 GHWT drums DON'T work with RB1. They released a patch to let the GHWT drums work with RB2 on PS3 and said "just import your RB1 tracks into RB2" They haven't released RB2 in Australia yet!!!!! If you import RB2 from the US you can't import your RB1 disc that you bought in Australia cause it's region specific... It's either 1 big monumental f#ck up by someone or they are giving PS3 users the big finger and saying "you should have just imported RB1 and RB2 in the first place and oyu wouldn't have any problems" or "If you had an XBox you wouldn't have a problem" The fact that the drums work for RB1 on Xbox and RB2 on PS3 (and Xbox) suggests there would be no technical reason they couldn't work on RB1 for the PS3... HMX just choose not to bother releasing a patch for whatever reason
