What day was your RB set boxed?

[Marcelo]

Hey everyone! I have been reading a lot of threads complaining about the failure rate and this and that, but to tell you the truth, I have been playing around with my set and so far (thanks God!) it is still working flawlessly. I bought mine from Amazon and on the box there is a sticker with the date that the set was boxed (I guess). So I was wondering if perhaps we can find a pattern between all the people that had issues to see if they were all boxed around the same date. Mine says September 29 2007. Anyone else wants to participate?

Boxed: Oct-16-07
Version: Xbox360
Store: Local Wal-Mart

Issues:
- Worked fine out of the box, guitar strummer went bad after a day
- Guitar overdrive is difficult to activate
- Drum sensitivity seems off (all thou its playable on easier stuff)

Mic and hub works fine.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: Perhaps the OP should compile a list seemingly bad/good boxed days. Sounds like ones from the 10-15 are doing ok, 16 and 17 have issues.

So far no issues, but only played on the strat for about 4 hours now (out of town over holiday) and when playing the strat it's mostly up-strums due to playing bass.

I've beat the drums on Easy, Medium, and I'm over half way through on Hard with no issues at all. My wife and neighbors have used them quite a bit as well with no issues.

The guitar has about 6-8 hours of use with no issues.

The mic has about 2 hours of use with no issues.

Boxed: 15OCT07
System: 360
Store: Amazon

Issues:
Guitar - Strum down doesn't work ~75% of the time. Double strums. Overdrive doesn't work. Whammy bar doesn't work. Effects button doesn't work. Basically the only thing I can do is strum upwards. This started after about 8 hours of use.

Drums and Mic working flawlessly.

*edit* Seems like whoever did the QA for mid-October wasn't doing their job.

Boxed: Oct 22nd, 2007
System: PS3
Store: Walmart in North California

Issues:
I've played only a couple of times so far because my wife is making me save it for Christmas and so far everything worked. I did miss some notes on the red drum, but I think it was because I wasn't doing it fast enough. The mic felt like it had a very low volume for singing but my wife said it was OK.

Boxed: Oct 10th, 2007
System: xbox 360
Store: Wal-Mart

Issues:
Guitar strum and overdrive activation
Drum bass pedal snapped on second day of use (I don't think it survived 1000 depressions). Drums do not register drumrolls




Everyone who thinks their drums are fine, go into practice mode and do a drumroll. See this video for the problem. You can get all the way through easy and medium without encoutering the problem.
