In an attempt to jump start the economy I profligately purchased an Xbox 360 Rock Band wireless guitar from Gamestop. Thought it'd be fun to allow all four of us to play if we wanted to.
Got it in, turned it on, paired it to my 360, fired up Rock Band and... no overdrive! I'm tipping the guitar, I'm shaking the guitar, I'm smacking it on the back like it was choking on a piece of hot dog... nothing.
Checked the forums and sure enough, lots of people are reporting the same problem. Some people even reporting that they're on their fifth guitar with the same problem.
But I couldn't be that unlucky, could I? I call Gamestop and ask them if I can exchange it. Sure, they say, we have another one in stock, bring it down.
New wireless guitar set to go and... no overdrive!
I call EA today. It's going to take 10 days for them to get me the UPS box to ship it back in, let's say 5 days to get it back to them, 10 days for them to turn it around, and then another 5 days to get it back to me. 30 days in all. And they don't provide the option of sending me out a new guitar with a credit card number as collateral.
Man, if that game wasn't so much fun...
