PS3 2.53 Update turns Rock Band drums into a microphone

Button Masher reports the following rumour: "Now that an update has finally allowed Guitar Hero drums to work in Rock Band 2, a ButtonMasher community member is reporting that the PS3 2.53 firmware update has broken Rock Band drum compatibility with Guitar Hero: World Tour. He says:

"I go to play some GH:WT with my Rock band drum kit tonight and are prompted to do the 2.53 update. So I do…

Once done I start up GH:WT only to find that now my drums are only recognized as a microphone!""

"Update turns Rock Band drums into a microphone"
I'm sorry but the title made me laugh for a second.
Anyways, I just played the drums from RB1 on GHWT in my friends house using his updated ps3 and it played fine, and why are we just hearing this today if the update came out 2-3 days ago. You would think with so many people into RB and GH that this would have been discovered when the update was released. His drums probably just broke or he plugged it wrong, it happens sometimes.

1.2 - This is a developer dispute.
Between Red Octane and Harmonix. Not sure how Sony comes in the mix.

Are you serious? One person reports a problem and you take that as gospel? That has got to be the most ignorant thing I have seen. I have an idea for you; Try waiting to see how widespread the issue is before you believe it for truth.

Got to love people to believe everything they read on the net. :/

Happening to one person, and so far, no one else has this issue.

Let's wait to see if this is just this one guy that just thinks this is from the FW (don't have GH:WT yet so I can't say for sure) before making any conclusions.

8.1 - agreed
the site is actually asking if anyone else has had this issue, perhaps the title should have a "?" at the end.

I'm still annoyed at EA not saying anything about when the Rock Band 2 Band in the Box will come over into the UK.
