Hi there,
first things first. Iīm from germany and importet Rock Band because i couldīnt wait till the end of march ī08 to get Rock Band released here in germany. So i went to my local dealer and he had one (the only one) copy of Rock Band. I was very excited to get my hands on this game because i love all the Guitar Hero games and i wanted a new challenge in instruments. So i went home,unpacked all and set it all up. Then i invited a friend and we played for 3 hours straight. No problems. The next day after work i wanted to play again but thats when it first happened. My drums wereīnt recognized by the PS3 . So in unplugged and replugged it. So it worked again. I played for another 4 hours.
Day 3: It took me 15 minutes to get the drums working because my PS3 couldīnt recognize the drums. I plugged the receiver for the Fender in ,it worked. I plugged the mike in,it worked. Only the drums were not working. After they got recognized i could play for another few hours without any problems.
Day 4 (today): I spend 2 hours to get the drums working. Then i gave up. They wereīnt recognized at all. I donīt know whats wrong with it but im pi***d. Everything works except for the drums ,and thatīs why i bought the game.
I canīt send the box in because it would cost me 180$ just for the shipping to the US. Only thing is that i bring it back to my retailer and get my money back. And i hope for him he can send the box back to his retailer.
Really,i love this game and as long as it lasted it was 100% fun. But with all this hardware issues HMX should have testet it better before releasing it.
Maybe there is a workaround to get the drum work again until march 08 (then im buying a EU copy of this bundle),but if not i am very disappointed and angry.
Btw,the Fenderīs strum bar was also not working correctly but i fixed it with the instruction s that were postet on another board. Now itīs working like a charm.
