I need replacement guitars for RB and I missed this

I've updated the first post with information to the Best Buy sale going on. It's gonna run you $20 more, but in all honesty it's a good deal still. The Guitar alone would run you $50 if you're looking to buy one, but you're getting extras. If you really want the game get it at Best Buy while you can, you wont find that price again.

Agreed, this is a great deal. Does anyone have a coupon to make this bundle cheaper?

Yep, me too. I just started hunting eBay for a cheap Rock Band or Guitar Hero guitar, since I left mine at home when I left the country. I figured they would be cheaper than they are currently going for. But nope.

Newegg would have charged me $12 for APO shipping, but this would have still been good. I guess for a bit more Best Buy will ship it for free, but I need to think about it and maybe wait until Friday.
Can't get every deal though, oh well.


Edit: And nevermind. Decided as soon as I posted to order one and Best Buy will not ship it to an APO for some reason. There aren't any li-ion batteries in it to my knowledge, but whatever. I'll keep hoping to get a guitar for -$20 on eBay.

Band Hero is an all right game, 3-4 songs I really liked, but it comes with the GH5 guitar, which is easily my favorite plastic guitar of all the GH/RB guitars. If someone were to get this and then a copy of RB3, they'd have a lot of good ahead of them.

Got my PS3 set yesterday. All looked new and unused. Box has been sitting in a warehouse for awhile though. Tested everything though and no issues. Don't think I'm going to try and get the "Updated" drums unless there was some major revision though.

Edit: Decided to go ahead and do a support ticket for the drums anyway. I searched for Band Hero on the support site and it didn't come up with anything about the wrong drums being in the bundle. So I just filled out a generic ticket. I also decided to call the support line and the guy was kind of a dick and basically said no they won't switch it out.

The newegg picture shows the newer set but the box on the bundle shows the older World Tour set... Not sure where RiPPn researched but I also couldn't find anything online about this.

From what I read here.. http://www.plasticaxe.com/2009/10/09...nd-hero-drums/
The U.S. only gets the new drum kit sold separately except on the Wii.

Guess I let my support ticket do it's work and hope for the best.

Just google 'band hero drum problem' and u will prob will find something u can use as an excuse to get new ones if it matters to u (think one of the issues is the dry-rotting)

I got my band hero set for the 360 right now and it looks terrible. The box looked like it was opened already and then someone just put some tape around it. I can see a section of where the old tape was that ripped off some of the label of the box. The batteries that came with the guitar were 2 double A batteries not packed up or anything. Normally they come shrink wrapped or in some sort of packet. The moisturizer packet with all the toxic little balls was popped and went all over the guitar box and some went into the headpiece of the guitar. I'm just hoping it didn't fall on my floor. I checked the drum section of the box and the rubber parts of the drum stand have a layer of either dirt or dust. I'm positive this was a return and they just resold this. I'm going to try out the pieces in a bit.


Edit: I tried the drums and guitar. Both work fine, not sure how sensitive the drums are suppose to be. The yellow and orange ones seem like the require a bit of force to be hit. I might just have them on too tight.

^I think you're talking about the cymbals right? Mine took more effort than I was expecting for them to register as well.

I filled out a ticket to return the drums to be replaced. Didn't call or talk to anyone. Received a paid label and had the new drums soon after.

If anyone can, drop a link to where we fill out a ticket.

Here's what I did so far:
1) Go here: https://support.activision.com and create an account.
2) Go here: https://support.activision.com/Atvi_my_support_games and add "Band Hero" to "My Games".
3) Then go here: https://support.activision.com/Atvi_warranty_returns and fill out a warranty claim.

The instructions then state: Hardware: Return Required (Drums, Guitars, DJ Decks, Tony Hawk Boards, Top Shot Elite Guns, Fishing Poles, Kinect Gun, Skylanders Portals, Legendary Champions, and Location Items)
Use your case number when inquiring about your warranty claim
Please print the label you will receive via email to ship your item to us
Please allow approximately 7-10 business days from the date we receive your item for delivery in North America. In Europe, please allow approximately 14 business days.

After that you should receive an email confirmation. However I have yet to receive the shipping label/mailing instructions via email (I submitted my claim on the 10th).

How long did it take for others to receive that?
