While it may be old news to some, I’m betting there are quite a few of you out there who haven’t heard the latest confirmations from both Microsoft & Sony concerning instrument controller compatibility between the big upcoming music games.

With the controller “lock-out” between Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock, many music gamers are loathe to purchase multiple full new setups this fall when the newest titles and equipment debut in order to play each game to its capacity.  Well, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 owners can now put those fears to rest:

Thanks to posts located HERE at the official Playstation blog, and HERE at the Gamerscore (Official Xbox) blog, both companies have confirmed that any instrument controller from Rock Revolution, Guitar Hero World Tour, and Rock Band 2 will work between all 3 games.  Now, instead of buying everything, you can make the choice you want, knowing you will be able to play everything with little hassle.

Or you can wait and see what our Rockin’ Reviewer, Cena, has to say about the new equipment once he gets his hands on them.  I’m curious to see how much of the new gear he’s gonna spring for, and where he’s gonna put it all!
