tl;dr

Well, it seems that not only has Guitar Hero: Aerosmith been patched to work with Rock Band guitars, but that Guitar Hero World Tour (i.e. GH4) will work with Rock Band instruments. Hurrah for common sense breaking out, and hurrah too for one less set of plastic instruments in my living room. The odds me picking up GH4 went up a bunch of notches when I read that, as now it’s feasible to just pick up the disc.

Except… the drums could be a sticking point, as the Guitar Hero drum set has one extra pad over and above the Rock Band one. I wonder what they are planning to do about that. I guess the ultimate answer to that is the $300 Ion Drum Rocker kit. So now I have two reasons to buy it.
