It may be refurbished but in a way thats a blessing for the Gibson GHIII deals because of all the problems they were having with that guitar, I know I own one, with problems, that was not refurbished. With these being your almost certain not to get a messed up new one then 😉

Wish I had the funds I would love to jump on the GHII one for the guitar and sell the game, I love that style guitar.

Anyway, enjoy!
 
Wii, no wii, and riverhound goes Wii Wii Wiiiiiiiiiiii all the way home, takes a Wii, plays with his Wii because he shook it more then 2 times, then tells his family Wii got to get a XBOX 360 so Wii can play GHII and GHIII. His family went "Wiiiiiiiiiii, about time! Thanks Dad Wii love you!"
 
From my experience, surplus computer's items can be very risky when you purchase. I purchased a small item from them (zune car travel kit), and it came with a package that was ripped apart and taped back together using scotch tape. The transmitter didn't work at all. Yeah, it was refurb but you'd expect for it to at least be decently packaged. Just a heads-up.
 
Well then as a heads up I been buying from them for years and never had a single problem with them. Many refurbished parts I have bought. So just a heads up as well, you cant please every person all the time, but sure can piss them all off.
Not saying what Supa is saying wont happen, shit happens, I have had places I buy from send me packed well, and then crappy, what you going to do when they hire people at min wage and are having a crappy day. Call them up and say it wasnt right and 99% of the time they work something out with you 😉

I looked at these deals too but man their ratings on www.resellerratings.com were enough to scare me away.

My question is, do people actually actively go on the rating website and post positive interactions or are a majority of the ratings negative because those are the only people that will take time out of their day because they got screwed?

I know I take it with a huge grain of salt when I read those. If it has like a 3/10 and a 4/10 lifetime, then yeah, I will prolly stay away myself, but because more people will always bitch 100x more and make a write up on it then to give a praise, its really hard to go by them,

Id like to say its around 100-1 bad, and even then those that are bad, how do you know how they were when they called to complain? Did they right off throw a huge fix like they company killed their only child, or did they act nice? I worked in retail, you have some people flip out and go way over the line before you can even get a word out.

The place I listed actually sent me the wrong item one time, they sent me 3 nortons antivirus cd's. I called, was nice, as usual, they let me keep them and sent me what I was supposed to get. No having to bitch, no having them tell me kiss off. So when you read those you have to take in consideration all the factors that went down when someone says a place sucks, for you have no idea how they handled themself when they called to complain, and did they take the time to actually read the listing and see it say refurbished, expected some new product, and when it shows flip out, thinking its their fault for them not knowing how to read? And since I have had a problem one time, sorta, they were very nice to me, and had no problems in taking care of me. Hence why I will still buy from them.
 
bought the ps3 version. came out to $59 exactly...no tax, free ground shipping!

lets see if these retailers are trustworthy/decent...as noted by resellerratings.com, and also if the guitar and gh3 game disc are in decent condition cause it is a refurb.
 
i've used surpluscomputers before loads of times, only ever had a problem with a huge order i put in, and they forgot to include something on the order. emailed them, and within an hour i had a tracking number, and they sent me the item, and a spare.
 
I buy a ton of stuff all the time from ecost.com, and they're reseller ratings are horrible as well. I've never had a problem with them though. Had to cancel an order that I made yesterday today, and they shot an email back right away. So, I take those rating things with a grain of salt. If the deal is good enough, I'll usually try them out at least.
 
i've actually been to their store, and it's a mess of various electronics, and even non-electronics... obviously it's a risk but this is a pretty good deal... hit and miss
 
my order is on track to come in this friday....although now i saw amazon.coms price and its 89.99 brand new (ps3 version)...for $30 less i guess its an okay deal...if anything, i just basically bought the game used and got a free used guitar with it too.
 
Will the guitars with the PS2 bundle work with the PS3 (and also Xbox 360 perhaps)?

I have a PS2 and my friends have Xbox 360s or PS3s. I want a PS3 🙁. At least I have a Wii though 🙂. But I'm having to send it in for repairs in a day or two, after only playing Brawl a handful of times 🙁.
 
This is what I found in my GHIII Gibson guitar when I opened it because it was acting up.

If you google them you will find out there are a TON of problems with the guitar over ALL the consoles. So keep this in mind that its not the place you bought it from thats to blame if yours dies, if its within the 30 days when you bought it thats your fault for not contacting them for a replacement or refund, but in the end its Red Octane for selling everyone shitty built products.

Now my red button is starting to go, so I will be opening mine up once again and redoing the trace, and contact, for that button. Its such a shame that with as much money as they have been making hand over fist, they wouldnt be addressing this problem. Hence why I said that because these are refurbished you stand a much better chance at getting a working unit, the like I did getting a new one thats failed. These have been tested and looked at atleast before hitting the market again.

Id also venture to say the games will be sealed versions, with a refurb guitar. When some of you get it let us know if my assumption is correct.
 
getting it tomorrow. will post impressions of it.

hopefully its all in decent condition...also, can i use this wireless guitar with the 360? i think this is the guitar that DOESNT use the ps3's bluetooth, but instead a usb dongle that gives the guitar wireless...
 
I received mine and the middle fret button does not work. I sent their support team numerous emails without receiving responses.

And to make things better, their web site says customers are responsible for paying return shipping fees. And that you have to have a "technician" troubleshoot the device before they'll give you an RMA number. And if you dont have a technician who is able to troubleshoot the device, you can contact their TECH team for support. Well apparently they dont like returning emails either.

Overall, I give this transaction an A+.
 
used it a few weeks now...everything came in a generic white box, guitar was in pretty nice condition, game came with manual, unscratched cd, and even the stickers which were unopened...i guess i got lucky.
 
The one I received was in a generic white box. But the stickers were pre-applied to the guitar and many of them had peeled/ripped corners looking like the guitar went through heavy use before it was shipped.

They never did respond to my emails so I disputed the charge and found a cheaper NEW set on eBay.

At this point Id trust eBay powersellers more than this company.
 
Was the guitar was extensively cleaned during refurbishment?

//Scared to think of coming in close proximity to a used GH guitar like a Best Buy floor model that people line up to play:laugh:

Oh well, I guess I could always disinfect it myself. Sweet deal, might pick it up to see what all the hype is about.
