    Guitar Hero controller woes.

    Ok This is a struggle that has not ended for me and I am getting a litte tired of it. What you might ask? The answer the Black Les Paul Xbox 360 controller. The first one I purchased at the start of October broke on me. I had only played songs on Easy and Medium mode and 1 song on hard and my Strum Bar malfunctioned and could not register down strokes. After waiting about 4 months later I somehow ended up paying UPS $30 to ship it back to the Red Octane people. 2 weeks later I get a replacement of no charge from them, and its a brand new one in an unopened box. Now the 2nd one I had worked for a little bit but now I have another problem. My Blue Key doesn't register barely at all. Sometimes when i hold it down it registers than flickers off and other times nothing at all. I don't know what to do I don't want another new controller just to break on me again, and the wired ones might be more functional but not as ergonomic. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Gibson vs Music Games

    This is atrocious. This seems to be a growing trend in America to sue people over worthless issues just to get extra money. The original patent by Gibson for their idea with some sort of computer/instrument program is completely different from Guitar Hero and Rock Band. It is not even close. Not only that this idea is not so farfetched that no one has thought of it before. Hell before I read about this mess I had the idea after playing guitar hero that eventually you could just plug in your electric guitar with the cable that usually goes in the amp into the videogame box itself. And OH NO!!! I had the same idea that Gibson has. Does that mean that I specifically spied in at their meetings or stole the copy out of the patent office photo copied it and then came up with this idea? No. Gibson cannot prove that Harmonix or Activision did any of that either. And oh yeah did anyone think that their timing on cashing in on the success was just a wee bit suspicious. If there was a real problem they should have been up in arms when the first GH for Playstation came out.

Merl57 does not have any recent activity. What a slacker! Maybe you should send Merl57 a private message and ask, "Where are you hiding?"
