I have been waiting for a reply since the problems started let alone get a free game. Only a few people have ended up with this email about the free game. most people cant even get through to them let alone get a free game. Again its a publicity for Rockband but the end user is still getting arse ended. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Barri]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2007 6:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Busted Rock Band axe?

Here I am 2 weeks later, no package, no e-mail. I wonder if it's only if you had a broken guitar, or if it's any peripheral.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jared]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2007 7:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Busted Rock Band axe?

If they actually do give you a free game, it probably will be an old game that they can't sell anymore. It seems they just rushed to get the game out in order to get the holiday revenue. might have been a mistake]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chris Griffith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2007 7:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Busted Rock Band axe?

I'd be satisfied with a simple "send it in and we'll fix it," but I'd certainly take a free game too. It's sad that we've come to expect so little from these companies these days.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[o29]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2007 9:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Busted Rock Band axe?

What happened was, I used the warranty site (on launch day, no less), and then waited patiently through Thanksgiving. I THOUGHT I had gotten a confirmation email, but when I went to look for it, I had not. So I went back to the site and emailed them asking if they had, indeed, gotten my request (along with credit card number, yikes). I got a reply with my reference number a day later.<br><br>A few days later (this last Friday, I think), I got the 'more to come' free game email. I got my new Strat today and so far it seems fine. We shall see.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Will]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2007 11:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Busted Rock Band axe?

Since you have to send the broken guitar back that does mean he has to undo his fix =(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tekdemon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 4th 2007 2:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Busted Rock Band axe?

I know I will be.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TigTheRed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 5th 2007 11:52PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
