Yesterday, Microsoft... well, I'll just modify what I wrote last week...

Sony Microsoft has announced (via their official blog) that they have penned a deal with Harmonix, Konami, and Activision to ensure that Rock Band 2, Guitar Hero: World Tour, and Rock Revolution’s guitar and drum peripherals will all work across titles on the PlayStation 3 Xbox 360. This is fantastic news, and means that the $399 Ion Drum Kit made for Rock Band 2 will likely work in Guitar Hero: World Tour, and Rock Revolution’s paper-maché POS kit will work with Rock Band 2. There isn’t any word yet on whether or not this will extend to the current incarnations of the musical titles, or if it will also find itself on the Xbox 360 version, but this is definitely a score for Sony gamers if they were able to make this deal work exclusively for the PlayStation 3 both consoles.

There, that's better. Microsoft also ended their blog posting with a gentle jab at Sony, saying "In other words, welcome to the party.  ;)." Well played, Gamerscore Blog. Well played.
