Ok, here I am, picking up my preorder on release day.... speeding up on El Camino Real, flipping up bus drivers, running "yellow-looking" red traffic lights just to get home and enjoy my gracious PS3 RB bundle.... Life is good... no problems at all! the first 2 days, I would come to the forums to laugh at all the out-the-box bad intruments and even posting a thread on Gamefaqs saying "Sing here if your copy is flawless yet"... well well well I think i digged my own hole.... it seemed like the moment I hit POST my guitar went BROKE!

Ok, no biggie.... just go to the EA support website and request a new one... what can go wrong? I get a new guitar in "2 days"... well NO!!!... first of all I am an Apple user [yeah go ahead and bash me PC lovers... suck it! ?] the stupid support website does not support Safari.... well no biggie, I'll use Firefox.... well.... i need an account... I make one LA LA LA LA LA LAAAA... YAY done!! everything goes as planned... it happens to be Monday and I will get my new guitar by Thursday or worst case on Friday, right? RIGHT?

WRONG!!!!! I check my UPS tracking thingy.... Payment Recieved does that seem familiar? well.... It has been like that for 4 days.... no luck.... OK OK OK No biggie. Lets check the EA support site ON FIREFOX REMEMBER!! well what do I find?

1 071125-XXXXXX EA RMA Customer Script 11/29/2007 | 08:50 PM Cancelled RMA

WHAT???? Did i just read Cancelled?? OK OK OK NO BIGGIE, RIGHT?

I grab my phone dial 650 blah blah blah.... press 1, 2, 2, 1 ,2 [yes! I already know all the navigating menus] what do I get? MR. ISPEAKWITHAICLEINMYMOUTH guy.... I somehow understood whe was saying for 10 mins, what do I get? "SIR, YOU MIND HOLDING? I'LL SEND YOU TO ANOTHER REP...." wow wow wow....

............. 10 minutes of bad EA music......

MR. ISPEAKWITHHALFAPICKLEINMYMOUTH guy, btw have you ever tried telling your hundred-numbers long UPS tracking code to one of these guys? OVER and OVER and OVER AGAIN?????

After 45 minutes of wasted life... he said: "Sirrrrr , youurrr pakkkagge is chipped soon, it has nott been cancelleddddd" THE END.... time for the flames!! burn me alive!!!:D


PS: I didn't going back checking for spelling and all the mombo iombo... deal with it!!

You do realize that if you hadn't posted the GameFAQs topic, you would simply have had to face the broken guitar issue like the rest of us and not have had to endure this phone call, right?

Dude - from the excessive use of double-letters, it looks like your keyboard is suffering from the down-strum issue as well.

You should probably send that back in the box with your guitar just to be safe. Don't worry - I'm sure you can figure out a way to post without it...

I sent out for a new guitar over a week ago.

It has yet to be shipped.

Immediately, my ass.

yet my drums, which I just recently sent out for, should be arriving in an hour or two.

Check your UPS tracking. Many of us who requested replacements before Thanksgiving are getting ours shipped today.
