Red Octane has confirmed via its customer support team that unfortunately there is a batch of Guitar Hero II X Plorer controllers for the Xbox 360 with a faulty whammy bar. The problem causes whammy bar movements to either not be registered withint the game, or for there to be a slight delay before you whammy bar movements are represented on screen.
Red Octane has promised that unsatisfied customers can exchange their controllers at their place of purchase, or if purchased via their online store, can submit an RMA request and have the faulty controller exchanged.
The problem is isolated to two specific models of the controller, the numbers of which are 95065 and 95055.
However all is not as bad as it seems as the guys at allaboutthegames.net have discovered a remedy to this problem which is as simple as loosening two screws and which does not void your warranty.

Jerry from BagoGames says, "It turns out that 2007 was an amazing year for gamers, not only did many franchises begin, some started to get their footing."
It's crazy to think that Uncharted came out so long ago. I replayed the series last year as part of the Nathan Drake Collection, and the game felt brand new again, even after all these years. Such an enduring franchise.
I agree, I played all of them, included the Vita game last year just for funsies and they are amazing!
I could only pick 7 ;) They were hard to pick and MW was barely edged out by Halo 3.
Sirus Gaming's Editor-in-Chief:
"The Playstation 2 system is still considered to be the number 1 best-selling console in the market with 155 million units sold, beating the Nintendo DS to second place with only 154.01 million units sold. With Sony’s legacy console topping the charts, new comers in the gaming community will never overlook what Playstation 2 is and its success.
Now, we go through my list of my personal Top 5 PS2 Games of All-Time"
Nice choices! I would add Final Fantasy X because I am a big fan of the game and the RPG.
If had it as Top 10, FFX is there. :D As well as other good titles like Kingdom Hearts, ICO, and Star Wars Battlefront II. :)

I must say the games price is a fuking rip off, 70 quid! add 30 quid and you can buy a PS2 with 2 games lol. but still its a gret game.
Well its not f*king good enough. I had a faulty model and am not going to fart around trying to fix something that has been overlooked on RedOctane's part. Although i am getting a replacement, but that isn't the point. You make something and then test what you've made, it's that simple. Atleast RedOctane are admitting the full issues, even giving out the faulty model numbers, unlike *cough Microsoft* who have yet to admit to the full extent of the problems with 360s getting the 3 red lights. There have been many theories on what causes it and possible solutiuons, but nothing confirmed by Microsoft. And they should reveal the real defective rates too...
[RANT OVER]
This should be taken down off this site, As you are voiding your warrenty by opening the guitar, DONT DO IT!!!
.. that even if your guitar does have one of these serial numbers you will not FOR SURE have issues.
I thought it was only for guitars with the phone jack style port next to the cord ???
Mine is the 95065 serial but my phone jack thingy is on the back by the headset input.
