Additonal Info:
The sold out crowd is roaring, chanting for your band to take the stage…but you're forced to play without one of your band mates. That’s the problem that 40GB PS3 owners will be faced when they pick up their special edition bundle of Rock Band in the near future.
Along with announcing that the game had officially shipped to retailers, MTV and Harmonix also announced that the PS3 version of Rock Band would not include a USB hub to plug in the instruments to the console.
Although not a concern to owners of the 20, 60 or 80GB systems, the 40GB machine, which launched a little over 2 weeks ago, has only 2 USB ports instead of 4, leaving the owner of both the system and the game without the ability of playing with all the instruments included in the bundle at the same time.
There are third party manufacturers that do make USB hubs, specifically Pelican, which makes one specifically for Rock Band, but this will add an additional cost of USD 25 to your Rock Band purchase.
The game, for music fans and gamers, provides an innovative way to live out the inner rock star in you by playing your favorite songs through the use of three different types of instruments (guitar, microphone, and drums) through an off-line world tour mode as well as various online modes. The game boasts 58 tracks spanning different generations of rock from alternative to classic rock.

Not really that interested in this game, and I also have a 60GB console, so if I was this news still wouldn't bother me. But yeah, I still don't see the issue with spending 20-30 bucks more for a hub.
Yeah, can't see this being much of an issue as most households would surely have a USB hub nowadays.
So much of an Issue! (sarcasm)

The 40gb PS3 is a good value (price wise), but there are some sacrifices that had to be made, I guess?!
USB hub anyone?
Personally I won't be getting this game. If I DID,and I had a 40GB PS3 then it wouldn't be an issue. It's not that tough to buy a hub. Besides, the hub could always be used on your pc too
psn id: gingo... why didn't they just make everything use bluetooth that would have made everything so much easier
A simple common and normal USB 2.0 hub will do the trick and one can be bought at newegg for around 5 bucks... stop winning about this...
just use random usb hubs, since it will work on PS3. SOme of it just like 5 or 10 bucks.
Well... there's always online i guess...
LOL at Sony. I guess some of those features are already being missed. I really hate there decision to make the 40GB version.
ANY ONE EVER HERE OF A USB HUB. 7$ t walmart.
Saves all the people who don't want to play RockBand $25 then didn't it.
gingo I'm been thinking the same! I don't want the restriction of a cable, I want the freedom of the wireless technique!
Buying a hub isn't such a big deal,i mean you don't have to buy the one designed specifically for Rock Band,just buy a general hub it'll come in handy other than just ROCKING OUT!!!!
I picked up a USB hub 1-4 in Poundland!
