**Update** Guitar Hero III [Wii] Replacement Disc Mailers Arriving

[NFS4]

Just got my Wii Replacement Disc Form in the mail along with a CD mailer to send off my copy due to the Dolby digital surround sound bug.

Sucks that I'll be without my favorite game for THREE - FOUR WEEKS until they can send a replacement

Ehh, GH3 gets kind of old fast IMO. I played GH2 and GH3 for the 360...and now after having gotten Rock Band...don't care to pickup GH3 again, least not for a while.

Considering that Rock Band isn't out yet for the Wii...

Does that mean fixed versions are out retail now?

 

[ghost recon88]

probably not. I just filled out the replacement program form yesterday, and they said they would contact me when the new disks were ready. So far no e-mail or snail from then yet about it.

I'm surprised that they're not allowing for advanced mailings of the discs, like they do with RMAs. You give them a credit card number, they send you the new disc, and then you have XX amount of days to send it back, otherwise your credit card gets charged.

Instead of sending in the disk and being without the game, I'll just download the remastered disk when it's ripped.

I'm just gonna make a backup of my flawed copy to play on my Wii for the week or so I'm without an original disk.

Dolby Digital? You mean DD ProLogic II, right? The Wii doesnt do DD. Or am I wrong?

 

[CasioTech]

aren't you not allowed to make copies anymore of games even if you own it? Bah, what Nintendo gains in crazy console sales they lose in software being so easy to rip. Something Sony Doesn't have to worry about for the time being.

Damned if I know. All I know is that it's some audio bug.

 

[YoungGun21]

I'm not gonna bother with it unless there is some new songs on the discs

 

[BD2003]

Wow...thats real dick. Didnt EA give a free *good* game for the busted RB guitar, like within a week or two of the problem?

And Activision wants you to send your disc and be without it for weeks for a *simple* software bug that they took three months to fix? Thats absurd. I hope they do lose that case.

Activision is really screwing up the post release stuff for GH3. The site wasn't working for weeks, they still don't have extra guitars available, the months of waiting for a response on the mono sound bug. Now another couple weeks to replace the discs.
EA handled Rock Band about 100 times better than Activision even with all the broken instrument issues.

They need to call up ol' Mikey* to get some advice on how to treat their customers .

*Note: Mike Morhaime.

Just got an email saying that my replacement disc shipped on the 25th. Should be here any day now. That wasn't so bad.

 

[RandomFool]

I just sent my Disc out this morning.

Activision also is offering refunds for the game too. Linky

I'm considering of getting the refund for the second copy I bought for the extra guitar and buying one of the Nyko guitars when they're released. The offer is good until August 31st so the nykos should be out by then.

 

[randomlinh]

anyone know when the retail stock will get it? or maybe i'll just wait for rockband on the wii.

 

[NFS4]

Just got my replacement disc in the mail.

Is there a huge difference in audio quality?

I didn't notice that much of a difference at all. For reference, I have an Onkyo HTS-590S 5.1 setup.

 

[RandomFool]

Is the audio all that was fixed or did they add in the co-op quickplay option too.

If they offered this for the X360 version I would do it in a heartbeat... The game and guitar have been sitting on a shelf in the original packaging since late november.
