I am having some bad luck these days with my PS3. Over the last week or so someone broke one of my Rockband guitars. Either the thing was dropped or someone was too hard on the strum bar. Notes were not strumming properly and notes were randomly releasing even if the fret was being held down. Turns out that a piece of plastic broke off the strum mechanism and it was causing false strums.
I got Rockband back in January, so it really didn’t take that much regular (about every weekend) use to break it. Check out the pictures of the internals and broken part.
I own an AOC Envision L32W461 and for a value priced HDTV (I paid $699 CDN in Nov 2006) it has been a great purchase. Aside from the usual not so black black’s found in lower priced HDTV’s this unit works quite well. It wasn’t until I started playing time sensitive rhythm games like Rockband and Guitar Hero that I realised there was a problem. The latency on this TV is quite high and without proper tweaking it can make playing certain types of games impossible.
