Still waiting for them to replace in box broken one they sold me alrdy. There concern should be to fix / replace all the broken instuments out there that were sold as new faulty.
I still can't help but feel screwed over by purchasing Guitar Hero III after all the support Rock Band gets from Harmonix with their insane amount of DLC on the PSN. What the hell Activision?
and I'll add on the 360side of GH3 nuissances - the guitar-neck locking mechanism is loose and makes the green button faulty, and the co-op achievements are glitched... AND not being able to play co-op career online was a huge let-down.
Switchin' to RB...
I already bought the GH 3 bundle so i guess i will buy the drums and the game separately. and yes i wish GH3 had the same DLC support as rockband
QUESTION:
They aren't selling mics but can i use any usb mic on my 360?
but when I played RB I sometimes used it as a procussion instr (more cowbell) and I'm not sure if it was picking up an audible "SMACK" from when you tap normally on a mic or if there was someting special about the motion sensing tech.
You might as well buy the whole package to get another guitar. Otherwise, I wouldn't get a mic seperately because the singing portion isn't that great in how it grades your performance. Often just humming works better than actually singing.
