The warranty replacement process is pretty easy. It does not cover damage caused by abuse, but given all the problems people have been having with the various instruments you'll probably be okay.

Emailed last night. Talked to phone rep. today. They said "It's rare, but it has happened." They are sending a replacement box out with no further questions asked. Really happy with my service, but I'm betting it's more widespread than they say.

Due to work Sony is doing on their store they won't be adding new material for a couple weeks so this won't release on PlayStation Store this week. When they go back up with new material in a few weeks, though, it will be there lovingly waiting for you. For free. I'll post something up here when it is available on that platform.
It will be available on Xbox360 on April 1st.

Had a great session last night. I ended up being the leader on drums, which I normally hate because I don't use a mic because it creates massive feedback, and started with 3 but one dude dropped early. So it was just me and another guy but we both had a bunch of DLC which was really nice. We played about 5-6 songs all DLC with Welcome Home as an encore, and he was like "Thanks for playing something different! Everyone picks the same shit all the time."
It was a blast - we frickin' owned Sex Type Thing, I swear we must've been close to gold stars because we 5-starred it really early.
And I'm indifferent to the DLC this week - but the price is right

Finally took some time to diagnose my drums. As recommended I did Won't Get Fooled Again on Expert/50% Speed. I did each section numerous times (with and without my new drum pads) and it appears I have red and yellow problems.

As mentioned, GG&HT, Metallica, I've never seen the Who picked though. I also end up with people who always pick the Killers, Garbage, etc.
We played:
10 Speed
Sex Type Thing
Beethoven's C***
Rock Rebellion (I love this song for some reason)
Welcome Home
This was Band Quickplay. When you go versus the songs are randomly chosen by the CPU, not by a player.

I recently just bought a PS3 to watch BD movies. My friends have RockBand and they all loved it alot. I wanted to buy it too, but I'd heard that there were drum and guitar problems. Do you guys know if the problems were resolved?
I also have a 360 as well. Does RB also have hardware problems on this console as well?
Thanks!

I've yet to do the quickplay thing online without clan-mates. If i want to just sing is it going to be rough for me to find a game?
edit: My wife and i normally play the game but time has been short lately - that is why i'm asking all these questions about the online portion of the game. I'm looking to get in some karaoke when i have the free time.
