360 Update ruined guitar response??

[geekbot5000]

After i updated my 360 for rock band the timing on my guitar got all off whack...I calibrated a couple of times and it still had issues. WHAT THE HECK? Has anyone had the same problem?

I believe am having the same problem and thought it was just me, but my roommate confirmed that he thought there was an issue as well. I also tried to calibrate multiple times with no success. Basically, it seems fine for a bit and then kinda goes wacky with the timing and I can't hit any notes. Not only that, but sometimes on long notes if I let go of the strum button after pushing it up or down, the note ends (even though I am holding down the fret button). I hope it was just the update and my guitar is not defective. If anyone else is having this issue or knows a fix, please speak up.

I seem to be having similar problems. Mine is registering a single down strum as a double strum on almost every note. I didn't notice the problem before the update, but it has been a constant problem afterwards. I also noticed that it got a lot worse after downloading a couple of DLC tracks.

I have the same problem. While I can't directly correlate it with the update or the DLC, it was quite noticeable, and seems to come and go.

I have not downloaded today's update - I don't have internet where the Xbox is currently - and I'm having those same problems. Sorry guys, it's the guitar. I can still imagine that i can be fixed with software, but maybe not. That'd be pretty huge if HMX had to replace every single Rock Band guitar.

But if shipping defective guitars sells 3.5 million dollars worth of game before Xmas, I guess they can absorb the cost - still, they've sold somewhere around 18,000 copies of the game - that's a lot of freaking guitars.

Here's hoping the guitar issue is cleared up soon! Everything else seems to be working great, and I really love the Strat, but it's pretty much unplayable after a grand total of 11 hours using it pretty gently.
