A real rip-off site
January 11, 2009

A real rip-off site - This web site has no customer serivce. The phone numbers are constantly put you on hold for 20 minutes or more. Whiole you the list gets longer and number of people gets bigger. They are going to charge a 15% restocking fee on a 50.00 game that is unopened. I will never buy this web site again. I almost have lost any confidence in the internet being able to serve to public. When you make a misstake on a purchase you are just screwed.

Redoctane...
November 10, 2008

Redoctane... from DDR to guitar hero revolution - These guys are born out of silicon valley and I remember ordering a DDR pad from them back in the day. They used to make the best DDR pads around. This is the company that came up with the idea of making Guitar Hero. They manufactured the plastic guitar and then hired Harmonics to make the software. Genius idea. Redoctane owned the rights to the name guitar hero, but Harmonics kept the rights to the actual game mechanics. Later Harmonics was bought by MTV and that is how RockBand was created. MTV predicts that new songs being sold will be sold via downloads like RockBand and that will be a major source of revenue for bands since everyone just shares MP3s these days. And, we owe this entire revolution to this company... Red Octane. You can say what you want about their customer service, etc etc etc... but these guys changed the music industry.
