after the ridiculous fiasco with the wii version of guitar hero 3 and then the even more ridiculous fiasco with the disc replacement process where you have to mail in your game and be gameless for weeks, it seems that activision and red octane are trying to make things right.

without any notice or any real public outcry, i got a package in the mail today. the packaged contained a gold eagle roe faceplate and a note from red octane and activision saying thanks for being so patient and here’s a little something for being patient. these retail for $15, but i bet it costs a couple of bucks to make. =P still, it was a nice gesture. i would have preferred a rebate towards guitar hero: aerosmith edition, but still it was an unexpected surprise.
