Does the Beatles Rock Band equipment work with Pearl Jam's Rock Band songs?

    Yes I believe they do.

    Most music games are compatible. If you bought Rock Band... then guitar hero, rock band.. and such all work with those instruments.

    yes they are...but you need Rockband 1 or 2 in order to download and play the PJ songs.

    Only Guitar Hero instruments from World Tour and 5 work with the Rock Band games. I learned this the hard way. The Beatles instruments do work, but like someone else pointed out--you can only DL the Pj songs with Rock Band 1 or 2.

    i was thinking the same thing earlier today, but was already at best buy to pick up rock band. the guy at the store didn't know, so we bought rock band 2 to be safe and figured we could buy the beatles game on it's own later. i didn't want to buy beatles rock band and then not be able to play/download the PJ songs.

    You cannot use any DLC (downloadable content) with Beatles Rock Band. It was set up this way so that you could not play Pearl Jam, AC/DC, or any other band as the Beatles. You will need Rock Band 2 to play Pearl Jam DLC.

    Does it really? I had Legends of Rock GH and the guitar it came with, and I couldn't play anything on rock band. My World Tour drums don't work, either. Only the microphone does. My World Tour guitar works perfectly, though. So while I have a few GH guitars, only one works on Rock Band. Frustrating. I also have a Ps3 if that makes a difference?
