As for now, it looks like engadget is trying to rouse up some news and capitalize off the web traffic.]]>Apr 8th 2007 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/

All we've seen are emails from Red Octane to users, no offical statement saying "Oh yeah, the models 9xxxx and 9xxxx are definately bad, go return them."

And as for this "Calibration issue." It's the same thing that happined on Nintendo 64 when analog controlers were introduced. If you held the joystick to the side when you turned it on, Mario would run in circles forever.]]>Apr 8th 2007 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/Apr 8th 2007 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/
as far as I know, Engadget clearly stated that "but according to various user reports", which is identical to other reports on the web.]]>Apr 8th 2007 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/Apr 8th 2007 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/Apr 8th 2007 7:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/Apr 8th 2007 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/Apr 8th 2007 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/red-octane-declares-two-guitar-hero-ii-axes-defective/

We have been informed of a possible calibration issue with Guitar Hero II for the Xbox 360’s whammy bar. We believe this may stem from a feature put in place to ensure accurate scoring. Guitar Hero II features a complex control scheme that requires precise calibration between the game and the guitar. We are currently investigating the situation further; however, if you are experiencing these issues, we recommend that you try the following steps:

1. Turn off the power to your game console
2. Make sure the whammy bar is moved away from the body of the guitar and not depressed
3. Make sure the guitar is securely connected to your console
4. Then turn the console’s power back on
5. Load the Guitar Hero II game and begin playing
