Since Rock Band debuted for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 last fall, Harmonix has strictly limited the warranty coverage to 60 days and those who had a receipt. Now, they’ve acknowledge a smaller number of manufacturing issues with early units, and from June 30 to October 1 will replace instruments for those without receipts. Afterwards, you’ll need a receipt again, as Harmonix explains:
(1) we have a great deal of confidence in our peripherals, (2) we believe we have a great warranty program in place and (3) we found that a large number of the reported problems–especially those after the 60 day period–were due to mistreatment of the equipment.
Yeah, Harmonix? The online features in my copy of Rock Band for Wii don’t seem to work. I want them fixed. PLSKTHX.
