Guitar Hero Lawsuit Settled

Posted by Zonk on from the when-neighbors-settle-their-differences dept.

1up is reporting that Red Octane and Ant Commandos have settled their lawsuits over 3rd party Guitar Hero controllers. From the article: "Fortunately both sides have now officially reached an agreement - though nobody really knows what form that agreement has taken. Details of the settlement remain private - but we DO know this much: The judge has officially dismissed the case. That's good news for people just wanting to rock the hell out over the holidays."

    For some reason this made me laugh. A good rock'n'roll quote (merry christmas):

    "When buying a used car, punch the buttons on the radio. If all the stations are rock and roll, there's a good chance the transmission is shot."

    So you mean there was a shortage of guitars before the lawsuit?

    Last I checked the GH Controller is not compatible with with PS3 even with the USB adapter. has something to do with having to press some special button at start up (for PS1 and PS2 games), that the GH controller does not have. You can rad about it on ign. I haven't yet found anyone listing a hack for this yet, but I am sure there will be one soon enough.
