Guitar Hero 2, Shredding 360s....

Literally, check this out from IGN

<b>The release of Guitar Hero II on Xbox 360 brought cheers from the faithful who've been eager to rock. Things, however, haven't been so jolly for early adopters of Guitar Hero II. Of chief concern is an issue with some copies of Guitar Hero II that had faulty whammy bar control.

A week after release, this issue was fixed with an auto-update. The only thing the update addressed was the whammy bar issue. Reports across the Internet, however, suggest that the update is "bricking" some systems. That means, after the update is downloaded, the system becomes inoperable.</b>

Wow...the 360 is looking shaky right now. This sux seems to be no satisfaction right now with the next gen systems. PS3 has no good games. Wii has not many good games and is low tech. 360 seems to be made of Play-doh!

Glad I skipped the next gen! Opps no I didn't! This is two LIVE downloads that have screwed up 360s. When good times go bad! According to MS if your 360 is fried from this update, they will "fix it free of charge." Becoming a sad sour tune coming out of Redmond.

I too read this. I was actually on the lookout for several days for the 360 version of Guitar Hero II. Good thing I couldn't find one and went with the PS2 version instead. :mad:

This is bullcrap. Crappy system components causing problems is bad enough, systems "bricking" ie not working after a software update is unforgivable. Flat-out BS.
