Activision blocks PS3 'Guitar' patch
A patch that allows the Guitar Hero III Les Paul guitar controller to work with the PlayStation 3 game Rock Band has been blocked by publisher Activision, according to developer Harmonix.

"The compatibility patch was submitted, approved and had been scheduled for release by Sony on Tuesday, December 4," Harmonix said in a statement.

"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."

While Xbox 360 users of Rock Band can use the guitar controller on their system, the device will not work with the PS3 edition without the patch.
