That is great news. I just found out that offgamers does sell EU xboxlive points so I guess I'll be going with them.

Hi Blacktrix - May i know where did U get the ION drum kit, and how much does it cost U .. coz I'm interest to get this drum ..

I didn't get the ION kit....... I got a real Roland V-Drums kit. With an amplifier, it costs me RM5.5k

shit .. hahah .. way out of budget man ...

Guess U also one of the "guru' who know how to connect Xbox 360 Guitar Hero drumkit & guitar to MIDI .. so that can be connect to PC's .. care to share a bit on how to connect ... what others "connector" required beside a MIDI-USB cable...

Guitars can't be connected through MIDI.Drums can,but from what I know,only for calibrating them.I'm not sure if they can be used for games.
If we're lucky,the MIDI-USB cable for calibrating will work for the upcoming PC version(there was a confirmed source that Intel or someone stated that it IS coming for PC,the ESRB thing wasn't a speculation/lie/rumour/face).

No,nothing else is needed.Connecting the Guitar to the computer will require an Xbox 360 Wireless Reciever for PC.With that,there are apps that allow you to connect it to MIDI and play it like playing a musical instrument

I only plug in my V-Drums to my Guitar Hero Drum kit...... that's it.

hmm.. i just wish they have just the drum kit device on sale. i don't want to spend more on the game. i already had a drum.. all it needs is a connection to the game. and i don't want to buy a crappy drum that comes with the game knowing i'll trash it in less than 2 weeks...

You already have an electronic drum kit?
Then look for garage sales or see if anyone wants to sell their broken kit cheap....... All you need in working condition is the brain unit. I pulled mine out along with the midi port and it still works great.

will try that. haven't seen anyone who wants to sell them tho..

The guitar in the bundle have problems with down strum. Had to change my style to upward strum. Even in the menu it doesn't work down strum to scroll through items. Is it the guitar? Just bought this weekend.

most probably the guitar itself..

Yep you need to RMA that ASAP. It's impossible to play to a decent standard without alternate picking..

Agreed. It's most definitely your guitar. Go to the shop you bought it from, test it there and there and see if you can swap it.

Ok thanks. So just bring the guitar. Not the whole bundle right?

Yes. Normally they can change just the guitar.

I bought a microswitch (around RM10) and fixed it myself with a bit of soldering... Very easy swap provided you have a soldering kit and a sucker...

Double strumming is so frustrating!
Otherwise I would've gotten 100% Impulse by now,keep missing 1 freaking note

Yeah that happen to me often. I got pissed and swapped them. Works like a beauty now.

Swapped?wat

Ooooh, do you offer your services to fix mine too?
Right now, it keeps double tapping and I have to tie rubber bands inside to snap the paddle back........
