ROCK BAND STAGE KIT - Support

[sweetjohn]

Dear everyone at Harmonix,

I have found this question several times on here. Seeing as the item is also sold on the Rock Band website store I believe there should be an OFFICIAL statement on reason why the kit does not work and/or a stauts on if it will become compatible with the Xbox 360 version of the game. I enjoyed The Beatles: Rock Band immensely but with the 15 mimutes worth of credits, back slaps, and thank you's I saw at the end of the game someone should have had time to address this.

I await your response. Thank you,

Sweet John

Bummer! stage kit doesn't work

I haven't got to play mine with the stage kit yet. Thats gonna suck with no lights and strobe.

It doesn't work? Darn, I was going to hook my kit up tonight.

[Aoxomoxoa]

That was disappointing, but it was the only thing. I was so impressed with the game I didn't even notice for a couple hours. I wonder if support couple be patched-in.

[Kevhouse]

Yes, I actually posted about this like a week ago. It doesn't work. Don't expect an official statement, it's simple: they didn't have to have support for it. Not many people own the stage kit, the only reason I got it was because I found it on eBay for $8. The minority of people that do own stage kits will just have to deal with it not working for beatles.

Come on Harmonix... It is not that big of a request to ask for a little communication for official Rock Band peripheral issues and support. Just give us the information, will it work and when. If it never will work let's make an official statement on it. (Which I think would be a big mistake)

That's unfortunate. Still not available over here, never did get a response from my email to them about it.

I'm so sad that the "Stage Kit" is not working. I imported it to Europe just for TB:RB :-(

Best I can tell from the way the stage kit works, doesn't it rely on lighting/effect cues from the game itself? Therefore wouldn't it only really kick in during certain dreamscapes? Having played through the game It would seem pointless before you enter Abbey Road and even then only during appropriate dreamscapes (yes to Lucy in the Sky, no to Here comes the Sun. Unless you just want to be bathed in warm yellow light). I suppose you could drown in smoke during the Cavern gigs and maybe have strobes going off to simulate camera flashes in the stadium gigs. But what would the Ed Sullivan gig provide.

I'm not saying you guys are wrong in your request for an answer or support, but looking at the title as a whole I'm just failing to see how, even if implemented, it would work properly.

Bump.. I'm hoping they respond soon to save me the effort of returning this to Best Buy... I know BB will ***** at me since I've already opened and setup the product. I'm hoping I don't get screwed on this one.
