GameCyteSean writes "GameCyte is reporting that Harmonix, EA, MTV and Viacom have been targeted by a class action lawsuit. Customers allege that the companies knowingly shipped defective bass drum pedals for the music game Rock Band, then exploited customers' necessity for replacements by having the game's hardware warranty extension expire just as the sequel, Rock Band 2 — a game with improved pedals — was scheduled to release." I wonder if we'll see a similar suit against Neversoft and Activision over the equipment problems related to the Guitar Hero World Tour launch.

With news last week surfacing that Guitar Hero III for the Wii plays in mono sound only, despite advertising that Dolby Pro Logic II is supported, Activision has repeatedly told gamers that they are ?looking into the issue.?

UPDATE: Borat's opening day box office was a whopping $8.9 million! That's over $10,630 per screen. Holy green thongs, that's fantastic! David Poland notes on his Hot Blog that
with that opener, Borat is set to hit $22 to $27 million -- not bad for a film that cost $18 million. It could even end up beating out Santa Clause 3 -- and when you consider the diff in number of screens, that's pretty darn impressive. Poland predicts that with next weekend's expansion to 2,500 screens, Borat could easily top $35 million.
Sacha Baron Cohen -- or at least, his alter-ego,
Borat, doesn't have to worry just yet that, "If my film not success, I will be execute." Much of the buzz around his film (say it with me, folks)
Borat: Cultural Learnings on America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan over the past week or two has been around awareness of the film and who exactly this Cohen guy is being rather low outside his fan base. In response, 20th Century Fox scaled back the initial release to 837 screens, initially targeting Cohen's fan base, who would be likely to hit theaters in droves opening weekend to see the strongly reviewed, much-buzzed about film. Fandango yesterday reported very strong ticket sales for the film on it's opening day.
Not that Redmond, Washington is necessarily a barometer for the nation (the Microsoft town is considered somewhat "conservative" by Seattle standards, but in Middle America, this town would be seen as a hotbed of liberal activism), but we had a hard time scoring tickets anywhere in Seattle last night for my husband and mother-in-law to catch the film. I saw it in Toronto, and have been raving about it ever since, and they simply had to see it the day it opened. At the theater where we finally tracked down tickets, every screening of the film had sold out, and they added an 11:50PM screening to accommodate the flocks of
Borat fans who were dying to see the film. That screening, my husband reported, was packed nearly full as well, and the audience response sounds like it was every bit as positive as it was in Toronto.
If the film does this well over the weekend, it could easily open with $10 million on 837 screens -- maybe more. Of course,
Santa Clause 3 will technically beat
Borat at the box office -- but it's also opening on over 3,000 screens. The bigger question is how
Borat will track over the next few weeks. Once the initial frenzy of Cohen fans sees the film, will word-of-mouth be strong enough to keep the film going strong when it expands next week?
Did you rush out to see
Borat last night? Let us know what the situation was in your town: Were screenings selling out? Was the house packed when you saw it? And how was the audience response? You, Cinematical readers, are our eyes and ears out there. Tell us how
Borat is doing where you live.

Like Alex, who tipped us off to his bitchin' 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Sure, it's got all sorts of stuff under the hood that distinguishes it from the Joystiq station wagon (license plate: STIQ-1), but we're far more interested in what's in the trunk. Decked out with an LCD TV, a PS2,
Guitar Hero, and two custom painted
Guitar Hero axes -- all rigged up to what appears to be a deafening sound system (Joystiq recommends wearing ear plugs while playing Alex's car) -- Alex has created a serious nerd magnet. Car shows are one thing Alex, but you should pull this thing up to a game convention if you want to see real tech lust.
[Thanks, Alex]

Guillermo del Toro is gearing up to shoot Hellboy 2: The Golden Army in January, but he's already planning his next project after that. In a chat with IGN, the fan favorite director revealed that his long-developing adaptation of HP Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness might be next on his schedule. "Mountains of Madness, which is a project I've had for several years, if it comes to fruition I'd rather do that immediately while the iron is hot," del Toro says. "But it all depends on so many factors — creative, personal — that every time I predict what I'm going to do next, I fail." Details on when/how/if the project is going to happen are sketchy, but del Toro has a clear idea of how he will portray the classic horror tale on screen, and he says it will definitely be a studio picture. Adapting Lovecraft's unique style to the movies has proven to be a difficult undertaking for filmmakers in the past, but the helmer says that he's enhanced At the Mountains of Madness' story (about an expedition to Antarctica that turns creepy fast) so that it will work on screen. "The albino penguins, the gigantic city… The hard thing about that novel is it's very much a record of an expedition, so the narrative is brilliant in that it's a little bit dry but it's not character-based," he says. "There are many characters that you don't know — you don't even know who the hell the expedition is [made up of] until you have it referenced in another book of Lovecraft's." Fleshing out those characters will be key to making the film work, he explains. "You need to create the character dynamics and the arc of the story, which is not in the book," says del Toro. "Also, the horror in the book is only ambiguous and it's kept open at the end. And you can still capture that atmosphere, but then you have to take it and go to a climax [in the movie]. Which in the book is really a climax by almost using negative space in the narrative; it's what you don't see that makes it. That essentially goes against the very essence of show business, because you don't show anything. I think that what we're doing is good and it's as good as we can [do when] adapting Lovecraft. But it's a project that's been with us for several years now. It's not an easy project to set up
So how will Bungie's Departure Turn 10? It won't, says Turn 10 Studios (big) boss man Alan Hartman. The developer of Forza Motorsport 2 and adoring child to providing parent company Microsoft isn't planning on going independent any time soon, says the studio manager. According to Hartman's in-company interview, the guys at Turn 10 seem pretty content working for Microsoft, who they say has nurtured a good environment for them to build one of the strongest racing franchises this generation.
Plus, Hartman's not interested in doing the necessary paperwork. With the recent shake-up of internal development studios at FASA and Bungie, plus the snatching away of two third party developers to third party publishers, the Xbox crowd may be worried that Turn 10 has their eye on the door. Hartman's pretty clear, saying of the Bungie deal that it's a "win-win situation as far as I can tell, but not one I'm very interested in."
