I meant the thread. I said a few times that there was no Aus release date outside of "2012" and that's why we were discussing importing it. I even mentioned the 360 version being region locked in the post right before your first one. If you have a PS3 and are keen for the game then there's no real reason to look at the 360 version unless you're an achievement whore. It's probably not the kind of game you want to be party chatting in and the controller is a moot point. It's piss easy to set up a US PSN account and buy points cards online. The easy choice for the impatient. |

30ms lag is not too bad but willbe noticeable and will make fast runs tricky... For PC recording I try and keep lag below 10ms. I'm trying to remember now how much lag my old zoom digital fx had... |

From trawling forums it seems that the 30ms lag is in sever cases. Most people seem to have no problem at all with a quality set up. Setting up the audio to run through component cables seems to knock it all on the head though, for the minor inconvenience of switching it over before you start the game. We shall see.

They where probably crushed that they weren't as good on a real guitar as they thought they where from playing GH. |

I'm seriously pissed off right now. I paid priority to get Rocksmith shipped over and it was doing well until the tracking said it was signed for by Mazoo just after 4pm today when no one was even home! DHL claim they have a deal with Amazon and are allowed to just leave stuff, and if we can't find it magically hidden somewhere around the yard then we can just ring up Amazon and get them to send another one! No asking the dickhead driver what the fuck he did with it or anything, just wait another fucking week and hope they get it right this time! WTF is the point of paying priority!?!?! |

Heard back from Amazon rather quickly. They too are extremely pissed at DHL right now and will be stomping asses over their response. They refunded me my shipping fees straight away and said that if it doesn't magically show up by Monday then they will ship out another one free of charge. Can't fault Amazon. That was a better response than I expected. Geez we have some fucking dodgy courier companies in this country though. They still half expect it to show up because it's apparently not the first time that a package has been either mis-scanned or scanned before delivery to cover up the fact that driver decided to knock off early. |

My impressions? Fucking brilliant! It may be true that it lacks a bit of distracting flash, that's irrelevant. It's amazing how well this thing functions. All you need to do is tune your guitar, something it even delicately walks you through, and then it just works! It's accuracy is incredibly good. Can't fault it there! The plastic guitars and Rock Bands sad attempt to go "real" can go fuck themselves well and truly after this! I'm not sure how much a real quality player is going to get out of it, but for anyone still learning it's invaluable. The couple of hours I just spent fiddling with it already increased my skill a bit in darting around the fret board without looking. Amazing what a simple duck game can do for you. What is truly brilliant though is the dynamic difficulty. As soon as you start getting a good run happening and start settling into a phase, it will throw in a another couple of notes to see if you can handle it. If not , it will turn it back down for a bit till you get composed and then try you on again. It's constantly giving you a gentle push to improve. I'm personally very thankful that it's missing alot of fluff. It does absolutely everything it needs to do and it keeps you focused. It's not a party game and it doesn't pretend to be. It's also not so elitist that it disappears up it's own butt either. It's head is where it should be. As for the latency issues, it is sadly true. It's quite noticeable through HDMI to the TV and then out again through optical to the surround system. I did what they suggested though and hooked up direct component, and that does indeed reduce it to practically non-existent. The good thing about the PS3 is it will happily let you run 2 sound setups at once, meaning that all I need to do to play it is just sitch the function on my sound system and not fiddle with the PS3 settings every time. No hassle at all in the end. |

since someones actually got it, if one were wanting to learn the guitar would it be something that's worth getting? |
