When are they releasing "I think I'm Paranoid part 2" That's more my speed!

Awesome!! Anyone know the track listing for Rock Band 27?? And is the equipment more durable. I'm tired of RMA'ing my Rock Band 26 drumset!

As for RMA's HMX² already stated than the conga expansions made by Nintendo weren't covered under their warranty however the 200 peice xylophone controller will be covered. Also they just annouced that they are merging the special edition neil pert drum controller with the special edition john portnoy set. Meaning that's a 400 peice set for only 3,999.99!

Greetings rock folk,

August 19th DLC is ready to be announced! This week we're hopping into the wayback machine and setting the dial for the early '80s. We've got a pair of tracks each from two of new wave's most influential and altogether awesome bands in Duran Duran and Devo! And as a special aside, the Devo tracks are new recordings from the band, made special for Rock Band! Each track goes for 160 MSP ($1.99).

Also this week we present a track from the Janitors, "Get Your Rock On," which is featured on the American Mall soundtrack. That song will go for 80 MSP ($0.99).

You'll be able to snag all of these tracks on Xbox Live Marketplace on Tuesday, and the PlayStation Network Store on Thursday.

TRACKS:

Devo - "Girl U Want" (new original recording) - 160 MSP - $1.99

Devo - "Through Being Cool" (new original recording) - 160 MSP - $1.99

Duran Duran - "Girls on Film" - 160 MSP - $1.99

Duran Duran - "Rio" - 160 MSP - $1.99

The Janitors - "Get Your Rock On" - 80 MSP - $0.99

All tracks are masters.

Hi everybody, Michael Shorrock, here. I’m the Director of Publisher Relations here at SCEA. I work closely with all of the publishers and developers who create games for all PlayStation platforms. While SCEA had a ton of great announcements at E3, I’m excited to say, we have one more for today, one that I know a lot of you have been asking about:

For the past several months, we have been working closely with Neversoft and Activision, Harmonix and Konami to ensure that PlayStation 3 guitars and drum sets will all feature a basic level of gameplay compatibility.

For the most part, this means that the titles with musical peripherals will work with the other’s software. A few specific examples include: Guitar Hero: World Tour’s guitars and drums will work with Rock Band 2 and Konami’s Rock Revolution software.

And yes, you guessed it, Rock Band 2’s guitar and drum set will work with Guitar Hero: World Tour and with Rock Revolution.

Conversely, Rock Revolution’s drum set will work with both Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2.

In addition, Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2 will both support the SingStar microphones.

We’re still working hard to ensure compatibility between the Guitar Hero and Rock Band titles currently on the market, and we hope to have an announcement on that shortly.

And yes, you guessed it, Rock Band 2’s guitar and drum set will work with Guitar Hero: World Tour and with Rock Revolution.

Why why why do we have to wait and wait for separate controllers, again?

I am not a good enough drummer to really justify upgrading my set right away, but I would love a new guitar with the auto-cal and hopefully more durability and better overdrive activation as promised. But the only way for me to get one is to buy the entire special edition, which would leave me with two drum sets sitting in my game room (I guess the first set could go to Salvation Army or something) and like 184 USB microphones. I could see this scheme for the initial release of Rock Band, but why do it this way with RB2?

As for the compatibility, that is great news. Again, competition helps out everyone. I'm sure they would not have spent much time on this if X360 users didn't have this basic compatibility built in with the Xbox controller standards. Now if they will just make the announcement that they've figured out how to let me play GH2 on the PS3 so I can mothball the PS2.
