Neversoft and Activision/Red Octane have been working hard on an upcoming free update for Guitar Hero III, which will address several issues that have been noted in the forums.
Pending Approval from Microsoft and Sony, the new update will:
* Improve Online Quick Match results and reduce "Failed to Connect to Server" messages.
* Introduce calibration screen improvements, helping users with high lag AV systems, and Playstation 3 users with Dolby Digital enabled.
* Add the Co-Op Quickplay mode for Playstation 3 users.
* Enable the Hyperspeed cheat to work in online games.
* Include various stability improvements and fixes.
As we launch this update, we look forward to hearing back from the community on how it works for you, so that we can continue to give you the best play experience possible.
Thanks again for playing!

Hyperspeed enabled in online play. Sounds good. Good improvements overall if you ask me.
EDIT:
The patch IS out for both the 360 and PS3 versions.
Enjoy!
And for you WII players, there is currently no news on this patch coming out for you guys. =[
Also, for you European PS3 owners, the patch is still NOT out for you guys. Post here when it does become available so I can update this post once and for all. (Unless Wii comes outta nowhere with a patch o.O)

Finally. Wish this all could have come with the game though. The fact they have to patch it a month after it came out is kinda sloppy. Better late than never, though, I guess.

Im sorry if Im ranting but Activision is really starting to piss me off with its neglect of the Nintendo Wii |
Uhhh....pretty much everyone neglects the Wii.

Hopefully this fixes only co-op... you know the glitch where if there are two star powers at the same time (one for you and one for your partner) it only counts as one...

I'm not entirely sure it's a glitch but I think(hope) it is. A way this can be dodged (from one test) is if one partner hits the last SP note early/on time while the other hits it late. Hopefully this update fixes this, if it is, in fact, a glitch.

damn.. the one thing i really cared about , they aren't adding... that is online co-op career 
When I read the subject, I thought it was going to say that you could play online between xbox and ps3 users.. lol  Never thought that would happen, but that was how I read the subject line.

YES! I will play online again without having to adjust after 10 songs, then going back to career and adjusting again!

The thing is, they aren't really neglecting the Wii. The only cost efficient way for them to fix the games is through downloads, and the Wii isn't set up very well for that sort of thing. I'm 99% sure that if the Wii had a sizeable hard drive (20G), it would be getting an update as well.
While it does have online capabilities, the Wii just doesn't have the storage capacity, and doesn't seem to be built with updates in mind.
Having said all of this, I can understand why Wii owners would be upset, but I truly believe that it is more do to with hardware shortcomings on the part of Nintendo's console design as opposed to Activision/Red Octane specifically ignoring the Wii.
ON Topic: I play on the 360, so I'm all for it (the update that is). Although, I also would like to see online Coop-Career. The only reason I can see for them not doing it is to encourage you to play with a real person next to you, and so you may be more likely to get a second guitar.

They really should add co-op career some time around when the individual controllers come out. You have pretty much milked the market already at that point forcing people to buy bundles to get a second guitar. Might as well make it possible to do co-op career online.
