Broken Rock Band Peripherals? Get a Free EA Game!
FiveStar | 11:37 PM on 12.01.2007 15 comments






I just received this email:

Greetings Rocker,

Congratulations on your purchase of Rock Band!

After reviewing our records, we see that your recent request for a replacement guitar has been subject to an unacceptably long delay due to a late shipment from our manufacturer.

By the time you receive this, your replacement guitar should be on its way to you. However, the Rock Band team is committed to providing a world-class customer experience and we do not believe we have met this commitment in connection with your request. As a token of our appreciation for your patience and understanding, we will be offering you a FREE EA game. Details will follow shortly.

We are sorry if your first experience with Rock Band has not met your expectations. We hope our gift will show you how committed we are to your satisfaction.

Thank you,

The Rock Band Team


There's no word on what the list of games will be, but here's hoping there's some recent titles on there and not games from the last few years that sold poorly.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

It's probably going to be Nuclear Strike for the PSX.

Hmmm... looks like when I get it I'm gonna smash my mic. I get a game and the world doesn't have to hear me sing... sounds like a win-win.

Goddamn right.. I got the same email! Here's hoping for a list of good games! And a new guitar!!

Thanks EA! My Red Octane guitar from GH1 still works like a charm, as does the GHIII wireless 360 one. Meanwhile my Rock Band guitar's strum goes AWOL, the drums don't pick up as much as they should (you're freaking good BTW), and get this: my foot pedal snapped in half. YAY!
falinter's Destructoid Blog
I ordered new drums and its been over a week! Where is my email with freeness?

Did you register your RockBand and then order the replacements?

I got the same email as well.

Is this really true? Are they really breaking a lot? Or is it just gamers being rough on them, not treating their shit properly?
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Everything in my Rock Band bundle works. The Strat feels pretty cheap however. I remember I almost shit bricks when I saw it fall on the ground, but it still works fine except for the fact that I can hear those little noises stuff makes when you know something broke inside.
BFeld13's Destructoid Blog
Yay! Free stuff!

@mrSadistic

if it sounds like a little rattler inside is moving around I believe that is the Overdrive thingy. The tilt sensor.
VWGTI's Destructoid Blog
A lot of the hardware is defective Eternal, which has nothing to do with use or mistreatment. Some of it works, but there is a high percentage of equipment that is broken.

hm... i just got the same email

sorry to say it, but it's going to be a shitty game.

it's just a fact.
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
I bet the list is gonna include games like Madden NFL 06 on 360 and, say, The Godfather on PS2. Not that those are bad games...they’re just very old.
