Screw You EA/Harmonix

[Lewisrocks93]

I swear to god.
Why the hell have i been waiting SIX MONTHS for a game that has:
1) faulty equipment
2) no freaking idea how to send stuff over to the uk
And 3) Know how to screw over fans!

there is no freaking way im gonna buy this F***ing game if the wii version comes out in the US before we get it on PS3 or Xbox 360 in the UK because then i know your all just a load of freaking american arseholes.

Go on lock up this post admin see if i give a f***.
Some ones got to say what most of the UK gamers are thinking.

1. Bad Luck. Had mine for a real while now. Nothing wrong with anything yet. Boohoo.

2. Move.

3. They screw no one over.

Dont buy it. No one got a gun to your head saying to buy it.
Thank you now go **** off.

even though he was being a dick this is a stupid post

[Ventura]

It's a bit rude, no argument there, but this sort of talk isn't going to accomplish anything.

That said, I would hope Harmonix realise that the reason people are getting so passionate is only because they want the game so much, which is just a very good thing.

I do agree with 1 and 2, but ......

Xbox 360 version > Playstation 3 version

[Lewisrocks93]

Yeh sorry for the rudeness but it just the delay is probably for localized content which is for spanish bands and crap.
I also speak english like you americans do. i cant speak freaking spanish.
Why do we need it we could of had it 5 months ago because of that.
ps they are screwing us over because they still havent confimed a date

Only for each persons preference.
I see nothing that much that makes me want to get it for my 360 (Plus I only got 2 games for PS3... one before RB).
Other than the Ranked, Voice Chat and such (which I would never really play ranked and I dont care for Voice Chat) all the 360 version looks like to me is pay to play online the same features I would play on PS3 for free.
For others, they dont see it that way.

EDIT: Nothings stopping the OP from importing if he cant wait.. thats what I do if Im impatient for a game or console or something.

Am I the only one that find it weird and funny that in games and systems and whatnot when they say english... 99% of the time they got an American flag over it? Even though it originated from England?

[Bearclaw]

I know right! God forbid they try to distribute limited qulities in their native country and get an installed fan base before they send it overseas. The dastards!

Nintendo does the same to the rest of the world, just live with it.

American English and British English is different. That's why. There's different spellings and different usage of some words. That's why they do that.

Anyway, to the original poster... honestly, you bought a North American game. You really can't expect to receive support for a game that was released outside of your region.

I regularly import games from Japan and even have some Japanese consoles. The games usually say on the "For Sale and Use in Japan Only." Music games most especially say this, because the songs were only licensed to be used in a game in that particular area. If my games I bought from Japan died, I'd be SOL. The Japanese companies won't help me because the warranty doesn't cover the US.

If you're getting any EA help at all, you should consider yourself darn lucky because they do not have to help you. They released the game for North America, not for Europe. You can choose to import it, but if it breaks, you're taking that risk.

Psh, everyone does it.
Blue Dragon, an exclusive to 360 was made in Japan and Japan got it a whole year before anyone else got it.
Eveyone have certain times to wait for things.
How many people went insane for the Halo games? Smash Bros? Grand theft Auto? Places get certain things 1st and certain things get delayed and unless everything can work everywhere (which is impossible... ever tried playing an PAL game on a US system without a mod or anything? you cant watch it on the screen) things have to be fixed, changed, and working right before the customer can get the product.

Yeah but 1st GTA And halo was only a one day felay from USA and UK
Smash btos is longer as it is in japanese
but whats the excuss for rock band?
if there fixing the instruments fine but its like they dont even care about the other side of the world

[murfinator]

1) If what you are saying is true you haven’t tried the game yet so how can you say that. Only, small amounts of people have had problems with the equipment, and those that do 80% of the time can fix it themselves.
2) Maybe the UK should develop its own popular games. I hear the same complains about apple products all the time... If a company is based in the US then expect some delay. It took apple 6 months to give the UK the iPhone, so just wait.
3) Can you tell me how Harmonix has screwed me over? Hasn’t happened yet.

[Goldfoot]

They've been more than accomodating to the people that recieved faulty equipment.

How do you know it is Harmonix's fault that the game is delayed for international release?

They're putting more time into this game than I've seen with any game ever. They continue to release content that expands the game.

In short, F U C K off. You can NOT buy it without the need of a post that just makes you look like an *******

[Infidel]

What kind of sense does it make that Harmonix is prejudice against Europe? What? They find Europe offensive and repugnant, so even though they are in the business of making money, they put their personal distaste for Europe ahead of a profit-making opportunity? Also, think about the conflict in what you are complaining about.

1. Problem: The hardware is faulty. Solution: They shouldn't have rushed the product to market.

2. Problem: It's not available in Europe. Solution: They should rush the product to market.

I didn't have any problem with the hardware I got on Nov 20th, but 3 of my friends did. But the main reason they should have waited was to make World Tour Mode work online. I hope they eventually get a patch for this, but until then, it is a big disappointment. But the reality is the game market revolves around the Holiday season, and they were competing with the newest and highly anticipated installment of the biggest game franchisee of the past few years that so happens to be the same genre, Guitar Hero III. With that, producing a game is one thing, you can spit discs out no problem, but there were three pieces of hardware included and high demand.

Harmonix will release Rock Band in Europe, and if you're lucky there won't be any shortage of supply, and the hardware will work flawlessly, and maybe they'll have the online World Tour Mode figured out by then too.

[shadebug]

Now, I happen to know both English and Spanish. With this knowledge I can say that, though you may be right about not knowing Spanish, you are wrong, you do not know English.

Also, wtf? When the hell did people born in 93 become 15? I'm getting so old.

Maybe the late release is paybacks for sending us Posh Spice and David Beckham. If i remember, Beckham came with faulty equipment, too. RMA...Yes Please

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG im seriously lol'ing


For real. I still am. Ill edit when I stop.....

[Zane]

Here's an upside for ya. Since you have had to wait, you don't have to worry aboutthe faulty equipment. We Americans were the stress testers so that you Brits could have good equipment on day one.

Besides, from what I've gathered, over on that side of the pond Singstar is the shiznite. Perhaps the time is also being ud to develop a UK launch that can ween casual gamers away from Singstar and over to Rock Band.

[stickshady]

Dude I'm not going to flame you even though i should. Us americans have had faulty stuff for awhile they're fixing it. And just remember if it wasnt for americans you'd all be speaking german from ww2. Please people quit crying about broken stuff we all know it happens took like 4 days to get my 2nd guitar. I'm happy so go cry elsewhere.

*Hedpalm* Why did you have to bring up WWII? That is a classic American answer to people in Europe disliking the States. It is also incredibly stupid and ignorant, to be honest.
