enos said: How far have people got through this game?

Personally I'm about halfway through expert on guitar and halfway through medium on drums (backed off on the drums a bit since the noise complaint )

Not sure if it's from playing so much guitar hero before this came out but finding it a lot easier.



I've finished on hard with guitar. Halfway through expert on guitar as well. Almost finished Drums on hard (Hella fun)

And about a quarter of the way through Expert vocals.

Been mostly playing online co-op but yeah.

Fave songs to play are:

Foreplay/Longtime - Boston (Drums)
More than a feeing - Boston (Drums, Guitar, Vocals)
I'm So Sick - Flyleaf (Drums) (vocals are too insane)

You fully get into it on drums once your on hard/expert. Loving the drum rolls into the cymbal.

Well, the birthday boy got his copy of RB given to him on Saturday, and hasn't been off it since !! I think a set of those drum skins will be required pretty soon......he has basically claimed the drums as his new instrument of choice - his sister has taken over all microphone duties........which leaves me (dad) still on guitar.

What a great game - at this stage we have not gotten too far into it, and drumming is a lot harder than you may think ....

So far no problems at all with peripherals, everything loaded up and works 100% good. The RB guitar sure feels a bit different to the older GH models.....but still good to use - Solo's are a blast !!!

Anyone still contemplating waiting for the Oz release - don't. Get onto fleabay and get a copy now - well worth the $$$$

Hi, I'm new here. I've been lurking in this thread for over a week now and made an account just then to post.

Has anyone actually ordered from PlayConsoles and received anything? I ordered from them 13 days ago and have yet to recieve my tracking info. I got a confirmation 'ready to ship' email, and 2 personal emails after I emailed them. One said my order was shipped out the day before, then a day later I got one saying it was shipped out either just then or will be the next day. That was a week ago.

Anyone know what might be going on?

(Ordered Rock Band Special Edition Bundle plus one PS3 wireless Fender Guitar from them.)

Yep, yep, yep - that really is where Rock band 'shines' as a multiplayer gaming experience - hard to describe to others without it (as yet) but it really is an absolute 'cack-fest' when you get a few friends over and hook in . . .

Cheers guys



Fender guitars are . . . . ordinary . . . look great but . . . well . . . just not up to scratch performance-wise. Fine on Medium or for BASS, but get set for tears on HARD or EXPERT on guitar. The strum mechanism simply isnt up to the task BUT

spend the extra few dollars and get a Nyko FRONTMAN guitar as the 2nd guitar - they dont look as good, but they really are a great guitar controller - well worth the money.

Drums? Got a bit carried away one day and the PS stopped working on mine ( , , ,my fault . . .) but was simply fixed.

Long story short - nothings perfect BUT everything about RB is worth the money

If your really keen and wanna see what the fuss is about - send me a message and I'll shoot my address details so you can join in on a session one weekend

Dont blame me tho - once youve played RB, you will spend vast amounts of money to get it yourself . . . .

ANYONE WHO HAS ORDERED FROM PLAYCONSOLES-------PLEASE READ

____________________________

Hello Mark,

I have checked with shipping on your order, and yours along with some others are still in the shipping area. We had some issues last week with the box's we were using, but that has been taken care of. I was told that all the orders will be going out tomorrow via the Postal Service. You will receive a email with the Tracking Number for your order in a few days. I am sorry about this, it should of never happened, it should of been worked out before we started shipping there.

Thank You
Phil J Thomas

___________________________

So i'm pissed, they said they had shipped it out last monday (a flat out lie) so i asked since they have stuffed me around, either send it priority UPS or put in a complimentary gift. I said it wasn't too much to ask for since it was meant to be shipped 2 weeks ago, and i said if you can't do either, can i get a full refund.

So i got a reply
_______

I will refund your order now.
______

That's it, no sorry for stuffing you around, no sorry we can't send it UPS cause we have an arrangement with the post. These guys suck, i'm so sorry for anyone who bought from them off my advice. You can send me hate mail if you want. So they are refunding my order and i'm just going to buy of ebay. Who's the best to go through with the quickest shipping?

Hey Jinx, how did you go? DId you end up ordering anything from anywhere?



not yet... i'm still sussing out my options. i'll prob get it as a birthday present to myself mid next month where did you get yours, discomark?

from what i've seen online, its either from ebay (cheapest i found is aud$320 delivered) or from playconsole.com for us$290 delivered. i dont really like shopping from ebay, but i dont know how reliable playconsole is either. anyone ordered from there? got their package yet?

purple - still no word on your RB, i assume? good luck with it.. if its UPS it should eventually arrive..

anyone have the Nyko guitar? where did you buy it from and how much? I'm actually considering buying the RB bundle with the extra drum pads and additional guitar all together.. might as well get everything out of the way with one purchase it'll be a big hole in my wallet tho

EDIT: discomark i think u answered my question above i found this guy which has good feedback and it cheaper than the rest:

cgi.ebay.com.au/

otherwise, ask wutang01 who did he get his from.. i'm considering asking him that as well.. maybe we can purchase together?

WARNING TO EVERYONE: DO NOT BUY FROM PLAYCONSOLES

DO NOT BUY FROM PLAYCONSOLES!!!

Right up to where he asked for a refund, what happened to DiscoMark is nearly word for word what happened to me. I think we even ordered on the same day (2 weeks ago). I received the exact same email from them.

I just sent a very angry email telling them how they lied to me twice about sending it already.

"I have already been told twice that my order has gone out! What makes this time any different? Do you peple not realise how much money I spent on this? Can you please just send the thing, just put it in the mail for god's sake.

If you are scammers just stealing my $400 please just admit it now so that I can get this sorted out.

I will STRONGLY reccommend that noone EVER buys from you. You have lied to me twice already and this is simply pathetic."

If they don't send it TODAY I'm getting a refund and trying BeachAudio.
