Regarding "broken street date" copies for sale.

[hmxsean]

Hey all,

I just wanted to officially talk about the sudden influx of broken street date bundles that are being sold. First of all they aren't "real" versions of the game, they are demos for the store that are getting accidentally sold. Retailers don't have bundles sitting in the back room just waiting for November 20th. These demo builds are kind of hobbled - for one the drums don't have kick pedals. Some of the demos don't have mics. And the build isn't a full-real retail version of the game. It is hobbled a bit and, obviously, the bass drum autoplays since there is no pedal that comes with the demo.

I guess what I am saying is beware of any auctions that might show up the next few days, and please alert me to them if you see them as it is quite obviously a huge mistake. I know how badly y'all want to get your hands on the game but it is only 19 more days until it comes out.

Thanks,
Sean

You say ONLY 19 MORE DAYS like it won't feel like 19 years. I need my fix man. I have been hyping this game to my future bandmates for half a year or so. Ahhhhh I need to go cryogenically freeze myself now, I'll be back in 19 days.

Oh yeah, Thanks for the clarification on the matter it's a good heads up to be on the lookout for scammers.

Edit - Pats 38 Colts 17.....Believe it

Man this is really bad if this is true.

Poor people blowing their money.

Is there anyway to send a mass release to retailers reminding them the demos are just that and aren't made for selling?

Well I mean it's not so bad if someone buys one at a Walmart and can just return it. The real problem is potential eBay auctions.

You mean other than the big letter on the demo copy that says "Dear {name of retailer} Manager - this is your demo!" Probably not so much with that.

Thanks again Sean. Your awesome Sherriff moustache comes to the rescue once again.

relief and crushing at the same time...

Next time don't send it in a retail box, eh?
