 My replacement 'Rock Band' guitar is a dud too!

I ordered my second replacement, but the sad thing is... I had just put a $10 cool skull-covered skin on the newly broken guitar. Ta-da... I'm out 10 bucks.

I was a little shocked that the replacement controller comes in a thin cardboard box with the impact resistance of a piece of toilet paper. Does EA really think that holiday shippers are going to be gentle with these things?

I called EA... and, after a lot of whining, they gave me a $20 gift card to the EA store to accommodate my frustration (and whining).

What is up with these controllers? Even punchbutton's other non-blogger, Melcolm, had a faulty guitar.

I think it would have been cheaper to make a higher quality axe from the get-go.

Anyone else having problems?
