Last week, we posted reports on the cross-compatibiliy of the music instruments for future Guitar Hero and Rock Band titles. Sony officially confirmed that the musical instruments for Guitar Hero: World Tour, Rock Band 2, and Rock Revolution, will be cross-compatible. In addition, the microphones for SingStar will also be cross-compatible. This is great news for those of us who are waiting for the release of the new titles, but aren’t willing to buy the peripherals in order to play the games. With this new cross-compatibility feature, I would be able to buy one of the new titles with the new game peripherals and just buy the other two standalone titles. Having the ability to cross-operate the peripherals would help me save money in our economy and at the same time I will be able to ROCK OUT!!!

Sony has just announced that instruments used for Rock Band 2, Guitar Hero World Tour, and Rock Revolution will be interoperable on the PS3. According to Michael Shorrock, Sony Computer Entertainment PR director, both the drum kit and the guitar from Neversoft’s Guitar Hero World Tour (GHWT) and Harmonix’s Rock Band 2 (RB2) will be able to work with each other and vice versa. Also, the drum kit and guitar from both video games would be able to function with Zoe Mode’s Rock Revolution, while the drum kit of Rock Revolution will work with both GHWT and RB2. Lastly, Shorrock stated that the microphones from Zoe Mode’s SingStar will be fully functional with both GHWT and RB2.
