I really hope there's some way to use the PS2 GH controllers with the system... whether officially or unofficially.
I'd probably pick the 360 version over the PS2 version if I could. Otherwise it's hard to want to bother.

They've proposed similar things before, but quite honestly I think it's incredibly infeasible.
