Rock Band gets patch and fixes problems...kinda
Since the day of release of the much anticipated Rock Band, there have been some problems with the peripherals. Developer Harmonix has issued a software patch which is to fix issues that gamers have been having problems with downstrumming on the guitar. Unfortunately, the software fix doesn't seem to be working for everyone -- some users are reporting fully functional axes, while others are still plagued by the strum problem. Worse yet, other gamers are reporting that the patch has caused their strums to double up -- thus making the game considerably more crappy. But there is another solution, EA is actively honoring warranties for the Rock Band gear, though they say guitar replacement will take nearly two weeks -- which will put you dangerously close to not being able to jam through X-mas.
