PS2 Music Software With USB Sampler Planned

Thanks to Gamespot for pointing out that there's a USB sampler/microphone forthcoming for your Playstation 2. This add-on to the Music 3000 music creation software will be retail-released in Europe in July, according to developer Jester Interactive's forums, following the European release of Music 3000 itself a few days ago. There's no word yet on a US date for either game or sampler add-on, but as Music 2000 was released in the States as MTV Music Generator 2, a release seems likely. (Incidentally, there was a rare USB sampler add-on for MTV Music Generator 2, but it was only available in very limited numbers via publisher Codemasters.)

It's a very big whoop.

Anything that takes technology and places it in the hands of more people is good. On the PS2, I don't have to worry about OS issues, DLL incompatibilies, drivers, etc, etc. All I worry about is knowing the interface to the program, which should be easy to figure out on the standard game controller.

Often times the programs you mention cost a lot of money, too, because they're "music" programs (kinda like how slapping "photography" on a chemical bucket makes it 50$ more expensive). If it's released for the console, chances are it'll be a bit less expensive :)
