Gaming accessory maker Nyko has put their adapter that would have let PlayStation 3 owners play Guitar Hero on their machine on "indefinite hold" after finding out that, uh, it doesn't actually work:

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."

Sure, the product likely works fine with regular PlayStation 2 controllers, but who'd bother with that when they're nearly identical to Sixaxis and rumble wouldn't work anyway? This product was clearly for Guitar Hero fans. Sony needs to come up with a solution and fast, because this incompatibility really sucks -- and Guitar Hero for 360 is coming up soon.
