yeah. Everyone is having that problem. Konami's ID site has been destroyed by the millions of people rushing to create two seperate IDs needed to play. I have been trying since wed. night to no avail.

go to the playstation.com Metal gear forums to see the carnage.

Yes. This really sucks bad. The Dish DVR is the BEST DVR I have ever used. I have used several Comcast boxes, a time warner box, charter, and even Tivo, and in my opinion, Tivo is the worst... boop, boop, boop, SHUT UP TIVO!
I like my skip button. 30 seconds forward, ten back. its great. Commercial comes up, press that button like four times or so, and its back to your show. I also dont have to pay for it... Tivo wants to charge you per month right? (Call and complain to dish if you are paying the DVR fee. Call enough times and you won't be paying either :))

well try being a charter subscriber in MN, what with all of our 9-12 HD stations... We dont even have discovory in HD.

Its the same on journyman... He holds the phone upside down when he talks... I noticed that in one of the early episodes, thought it was kind of weird and must be a mistake... but its like that every time he uses it.

Apple has some fantastic product placement. I am an apple fanboy (sans iPhone..) and I dont know if its because I love their stuff so much or what, but I tend to notice apple products in different movies, shows. in Bones and House they use ACD's, Computers and iPhones in Chuck and Journyman, tons of others...

I never said I expect it to, how did you put it... "magicaly calibrate" BUT when the inclusion of a calibration tool does NOTHING to fix said problem, then I am mad. Yes.

Also, to the person who said my decision was "un-informed." I was never speaking on behalf of rock band, but rather guitar hero three, and specificaly for the PS3. The calibration in Rock Band may be far better than GH3's, but I didnt dive that deep into my 2 min. experience at Best Buy. Sorry, but on its default setting, the way it was hooked up, led to a crappy first time playing it. I have guitar hero 2 for the 360, and have had ZERO problems with lag.

I understand there are different set ups and different displays, recievers, switches, etc... All I was getting at is, calibration may not allways be the answer, prehaps there is an underlying cause of the lag that PS3 users are experiencing. I am not the only one, but it is, however, not a problem that EVERYONE is having. Check the PS3 forums at playstation.com

Im not meaning to piss anyone off, but I was slightly upset that I spent 106 on a game that was near impossible to play. (GH2 on 360 works fine, again.)

My original post was just to say that it looks like an unsightly tangled mess when there is a mic, a guitar (or two), and drums plugged into a USB hub in the middle of your floor... thats all.

@11 I never said it was a hub issue, but its the same reason I just returned GH3 for PS3 yesterday, the lag was uncontrollable. It was impossible to calibrate using their calibration tool in the menu. Seriously. It was bad. Others have been reporting the same issue.

I was just stating that, on a game, based on hitting a note or chord or pad or whatever, at a certain time, there seems to be some problems. People can blame HDTVs all they want and throw out the term lag and calibrate, but it doesnt change the fact that these are wide spread issues that arnt being taken care of. This is a next gen gaming system designed to be played on an HDTV, I shouldn't have to calibrate it.

Yeah. It looks like garbage when its hooked up. My best buy has the whole kit hooked up to a samsung LCD, surround sound, the whole shebang. Its fun to play... the drums are super sweet, but they seem to lag a little. the people that tried it after myself seemed to think the same thing, either that or we all suck at trying to hit a pad on a beat. (unlikely that five different people would have that much trouble...) I was going to pick this game up when it came out, but I might wait.. the drums were the biggest selling point for me, and as of now, or maybe just that particular set, seemed a little off.

There are tons of wires everywhere tho... its rather unsightly. This is not one I would leave hooked up in my living room unless I was going to play it all the time... TOO MANY WIRES!

Wow. I sent this in to engadget and pspfanboy like a week ago....
