AshMat Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I cannae wait! I'll probably end up using my own drum sticks though, unless the ones shipped are the same size as the ones i like playing with. Also, the neck frest on the guitar sounds quite clever, the finger-tappin thing. And hitting the mic on your hand t do the tambourine, they've really gone into depth with this.

Charlie Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I hope they release 3 different versions of it and all the equipment seperately too. The Drum version Guitar version Microphone version I would get the drum version as I already have the GH2 guitar. Hopefully the microphone won't be too much by itself or you can just use a normal USB one (or the XBL one?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMat Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I think they already said they're releasing them separately, i hope anyway. I'm getting the drum version because i'm a drummer, i reckon, from the looks of it, it'll really help. I reckon it's the on that will actually help you learn that isntrument (that is if you've not palyed it befre). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I'm worried about the space for a drum kit. I Play my games sitting on my bed, looking at a TV not 1 metre from me, with no floor space between. Will probably just get the guitar version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 That is great news Arnold, thanks for the heads up. It has also been confirmed that this is GLOBAL, so the likes of me and Caboose/Chuck/Rob who just had to pay to get ours fixed will get a refund within the next 12 weeks.

Guest Stefkov Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Some great news. I've not had any problems with mine, apart from a few days ago, some hardware failure, but it was only one quarter of the ring. Works fine now though. Good to hear that I have another year and a bit on my warranty now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad as well, I've had mine inactive for about a month now, not been able to pay for the repair what with no job, but I have jsut started work this week so I could after the month but to know i've got an extended Warranty to play with, I'm gonna have to phone them up at the weekend and get things sroted. One thing i ahve jsut thought about though, now they announce ity...it's gonan take a loooong time to get it back, I'm guessing everyone will take advantage of this so they'll have a lot of back logged 360's to go through. Still awsome news though and if you've not got Gwars already get it, bloody amazing game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
