The Nyko Adapter is supposed to be compatible with the Guitars. Though it isn't out yet (not even up on their homepage), but they did announce it on the CES 2007.

Jeez, if MCR wore white lipstick they'd look so much better. They shuld just make everything they have black to white. That would look so much more sexier. For now tho. MCR SUCKS

The adapter in that link makes no sense... A male USB cable and a male PS2 connection. If that picture is correct it looks like it will make the SIXAXIS connect to the PS2. Also, no PS button which would be required for the Guitar to work on the PS3.

uhh, what would stop you from just having a SIXAXIS as player 2 or whatever? then you could just use that PS button. I fail to see your logic.

Because the PS button is what syncs the controller to the console. Without that button on either the guitar or the adapter, it would be a dead peripheral and only the player 2 sixaxis controller would be recognized.

The Image in the link is correct it just LOOKs like a male PS2 connection.

But it's still just a generic PS2-USB adaptor, and not the promised Nyko one which is supposed to have all you need to use GH contrtollers with the PS3.

As for using a sixaxis in a player two slot, the problem is it would only recognize the Sixaxis and not the controller attached by an adaptor unless you hit the mode or PS button something that the GH controller dosent have because there's no analog button like there is on a regular PS2 Dualshock controller.

I'm waiting for the 360 version. Downloadable songs and playing the game in HD sounds good to me. I work with a guy that got GH2 in December. He talks about it everyday and it makes it difficult to wait.

That certainly doesn't look like the same picture in the link, but hey, as long as they're coming out with something that works, I'm happy.

Gah, I want GH so bad I can taste it! :cry: Should I buy the wireless GH controller and end up blowing about $110 between the game and the controller, or should I just buy the bundle with the wired guitar for $70, and wait until an official bluetooth guitar is made? I'm torn. :(

The problem is there's no word of there ever being a bluetooth guitar in the works. and the current wireless guitar as far as I know still uses regular RF signals just like other controllers which means you;d still need a PS2 connection for the receiver which still dosent fix the problem.

You can buy the PS2 version and wait for the adaptor which might be about 15 bucks when it doews come out or you can drop 90 bucks for the 360 version which will not have a wireless controller at all from what I've heard due to MS not wanting to reveal the specs on their wireless tech to developers for some mysterious reason.

Same reason there is only three wired controller slots (2 in front, 1 in back, dunno if the 1 in the back supports controllers) to make sure they can get as much money as possible. Wireless is a luxery, and people are very willing to pay for it, so Microsoft, made a kind-of Xbox 360 wireless monopoly
