PS3 Gifts - PS3 Wins Over Xbox 360 According to One Gamer

Gamer Sherwin Loh has decided that he is sticking with the PS3 instead of switch to the Xbox 360 to play the infinitely popular Guitar Hero.

Why is that? Read Loh's reasoning below:

Guitar Hero World Tour, by Activision, features game instruments that players use to mimic real life musicians, namely a drum set, guitar controller and microphone. Its equivalent is Electronic Arts' Rock Band 2, which uses the same type of peripherals. And in the first move by both distributors, they decided that the instruments made for each game should be compatible with both games, across an identical console platform, namely either the Xbox 360 and PS3.

What this means is that on the Xbox 360 console for example, one can use the GHWT instruments to play RB2, or vice versa. Nintendo fans should not hold their breath as there is no word on the compatibility on controllers on the Wii.

So why am I getting the PS3 version? There are two reasons. The first reason is that, EA just launched the original Rock Band and says it has no plans to launch Rock Band 2 here just yet. In other words, if you want a copy of RB 2, you need to get an imported set, most likely from the PS3.
