In response to a post on the official World of Warcraft forums asking about Blizzard’s recent job listing seeking a “Lead 3D Character Artist - Next-Gen MMO,” Blizzard Community Representative Drysc confirmed that Blizzard is, in fact, seeking employees to help them work on “an unannounced Next-Gen MMO.”

For many it was a sad day in 2006 when Sony put the Aibo down. Stuff magazine has a rumor piece in its latest issue (don’t you just hate it when they use that old paper stuff instead of the web?) that gives a better than 50 / 50 chance that the Aibo could be back, as a adjunct to the PS3.

Remember that rumor from Destructoid suggesting Activision was preventing the release of a Rock Band patch to enable compatibility with Guitar Hero III’s Les Paul peripheral? Most people laughed it off (including us), but Harmonix has issued a statement to 1UP announcing that it’s actually…true. A patch enabling support for the Les Paul on PS3 was submitted (and approved) to Sony, but Activision is holding its release.
“As is the case with the Microsoft Xbox 360, we believe that Sony PLAYSTATION 3 users should be able to use the peripheral of their choice with Rock Band,” says Harmonix. “We sincerely hope that Activision will reverse its decision and allow release of the compatibility patch and further, that Activision will allow Guitar Hero III to support Rock Band guitar controllers as well. We welcome all third party developers who wish to support our controllers and will provide any required support in order for them to do so.”

“We believe that when consumers have choice, everyone wins. Harmonix and MTV Games hope that Activision and others in the industry will also adopt this philosophy,” concludes the statement.
