So, Marc invites me to join guitarhero.com. Looks kinda cool: link your gamertag, get groupies, make friends, etc. Well, in theory it's supposed to do these things.

It took me four days to get my gamertag linked.

I can't see any of my career scores. My location mapping has me off the West coast of Africa. I don't have any friends (even though I sent invites to Marc and Melcolm... oh, Melcolm just responded). The guitar I use is listed incorrectly.

But, I DO have 268 groupies. Huh?

It also has my most recent performances and favorite songs (those are correct and up-to-date).

These technical hic-ups are similar to EA's site for 'Skate,' and really calls into question how quickly these online elements put into a game (and tested). Shouldn't big 'ole companies like Activision and EA have state-of-the-art web apps? Isn't that just expected?
