Are you sitting down, Guitar Hero fans? Nyko's PS3 Play Adaptor, which was announced in January and promised support of PlayStation 2 guitar controllers—meaning proper Guitar Hero I & II play on the PLAYSTATION 3—has been put on indefinite hold. At the time, I was overly skeptical of the announcement, due to a Red Octane rep telling me Guitar Hero would never work on the PS3.

Today, it appears I was unfortunately justified in having my doubts.

Citing "limitations in the PlayStation 3 hardware" the company says it has been "prevented from releasing this product with support for Guitar Hero." Given this hardware roadblock, Nyko reps say that "the product has unfortunately been put on hold indefinitely."

Guess we'll have to keep those PS2s hooked up just a bit longer. Great thanks to Jon M. for the info assist. Michael McWhertor
