Just to be clear - I have a launch 60 gig console

Ok so I go buy Guitar Hero II (coz I wanted some of those songs to play bad).

Get home. Loads up fine - guess what - the wireless GH3 guitar doesnt work on it though?!!!! I didnt expect that!!!!

So I need to buy a guitar. I cant buy the PS2 guitar can I coz I wont be able to plug it on on the PS3?

So i'll have to buy an aftermarket guitar like the Nyko Frontman?

What would you guys recommend. I need a guitar to do GH2 - BUT - I'll also be buying either Rockband OR Guitar Hero WT. So whatever I buy now needs to be compat to those future purchases.

You guys are good - what should I do?

the Nyko guitar will work on both rock band and GH3.. and i think it should be able to work on GH2 as well. i'll look it up online to confirm this..

the Nyko costs us$60, but i'm fairly certain you can buy it from your local EB games (i think crazynites did that)..

EDIT:
bad news - looks like the Nyko Frontman only supports GH3 and Rock Band.. not GH2

Not cool! Thanks everyone for posting.

So end result - even though my PS3 WILL play PS2 games - I cant play Guitar Hero 2 huh coz I cant get the peripheral to work?!!

Bought the Guitar Hero 2 from Target - they wont let me return that will they?

no probs.. yeah it looks to be that way. i guess you can try by explaining to them that you cant play it on your ps3 due to no controller support..

What a lot of hassle that turned out to be.

Took it back to Target - explained it to them on the service desk (they soooo didnt get the whole PS3 able to play PS2 games tho).

Anyways coz it was opened - they said they need to check for scratches. I said cool coz I knew it was mint condition.

Then the lady on the service desk rubs some 'dust' off with her fingers!!!! Right in front of me!!!

She takes it to her supervisor - she reckons its scratched. I said well yeh it probably is now coz your Service Desk attendant just wiped the face of it with her hand!!!!!!

They called managers, etc, blah blah blah.

I got an exchange voucher. They wouldnt refund. Not 100% the best result but a hell of a lot better then not being able to return/exchange at all tho.

I seriously freaked when the lady rubbed the face of the disk with her hand eh. Could not believe it. Then they tell me its scratched!!!!!
