Hey. I imported the whole rock band set about a week ago. So good. I don't think there's anything more satisfying than nailing a drum solo in the middle of a song, pounding the crap out of them. Anyway, is there a quick way to plug in all the instruments? I have four of us here tonight, and obviously my ps3 only has 2 ports. We all wana play, and I obviously can't go out now and buy a usb adaptor... so... anyone know any quick fixes?.

Nah you will need to get yourself a usb hub, that would be the only way to plug them all in, I have a 60gb console which comes with 4 usb ports, so unless you have a friend with a 60gb PS3 nearby then your gonna need the hub.

EDIT: heres a picture of what I purchased today, hope it arrives safely.

crazynites... my ROCKBAND was posted Friday night - the 11th April. And arrived Wednesday 16th April at my house. So 5 days (including the weekend!). Yes I am stoked. Yes, I am loving it. Love the drums! Love the singing! Although I have to admit, that being a bit of a girly girl, I think I spent more time in the wardrobe department than actually playing the game tonight... haha.

So glad I bit the bullet and ordered it. Especially when I read that in Europe the bundle costs USD$375. We still don't know what they are gonna charge in Oz...

Only thing that sucks is now having to buy a 2nd guitar because the GH one doesn't work. Ah well, knew that in advance.

Ive recieved a email from NYKO the makers of the NYKO frontman guitar for PS3 informing me that the guitar will be available at EB Games in Australia in a couple months, this guitar will work on both RockBand & GH3 however it doesnt have the extra buttons for solos in RockBand but Im gonna get 1 original RockBand guitar (I only got the drums & game) from the US & buy NYKO for the bass guitar.

I really hope my RockBand arrives soon but Im prepared for a wait, so if it arrives soon then even better.

Here is a copy of the email.

Thanks for contacting Nyko Technologies. The FrontMan for
PlayStation 3 has not been released in Australia just yet. We should
releasing the product this summer at EB Games locations throughout
Australia. Please check your local EB Games in a couple of months for more
information regarding the release.

Best,

Yea, I want to own a Nyko guitar as well ...
So that it's compatible with Guitar Hero III (I'd buy the game-only) and it'll act as the Bassist in Rock Band.

It'll be released in a few months? God damnit ><

I just got mine delivered for the PS3 and love it! Don't buy off of ebay.. the postage is a rort. Got ours for around $230au inc shipping from www.gamestop.com. Seems to be the best price out there at the moment. Only took a week to deliver. SWEET!
Sorry if someone's already posted about them, but I couldn't be bothered reading this whole forum. If not... then happy shopping.

As long as your work address is the billing address on your Credit Card you'll be right. We just moved address, but hadn't updated the Credit Card address & they refused to process order where the address didn't match. That's why ours got delayed.

Yep gotcha. I ordered it on my credit card but got bounced for that very reason. Have now sweet talked my boss on using her credit card as the billing address is the same as her card.

Good times ahead!

You should be able to find sellers on ebay who sell the pack for around $160-180US & ship for $100US which will make it around $300AU all up which aint too bad if reports are true that it will cost over $350 here.
