The "Secret" achievement does not show up as secret once you've passed it, instead it gives you a description.
I believe the achievement Keith is referring to is called "Almost Got It".
The description says "Fail a song past 90% completion".
In other words, do at least 90% of the song, then fail.
I did it while playing Rock You Like a Hurricane on expert w/ the sound off.
Failed right at 99% with 4 notes left
, but I got an achievement out of it.Then I passed it the second time for the "tone deaf" achievement

Here's the actual offer, and the wording will confuse many people.
*********************
Rock Band Trade-up Offer
Trade any games or accessories towards the reservation or purchase of Rock Band (XB360, PS3, PS2) and receive an extra 30% trade-in credit!
Expires: 11/11/2007. Full trade value amount must be applied toward reserve/purchase of title. Offer not good on cash trades. Trades must be in full working condition to receive full value. Cannot be combined with any other offer. Trade-ins subject to manager approval. See store associate for details. No dealers.
*********************
What it means is that if the game you are trading in is normally worth $15 for trade-in, they will give you an extra 30% making it $20.
It's a good deal, but I only have a couple games I would part w/ and probably only get $20 total for both.

If you wanted to get a $20 trade-in value after the 30% bump your game would have to be valued at either;
A) $15.38 + 30% ($4.614) = $19.994
B) $15.39 + 30% ($4.617) = $20.007
So obviously, choice "A" would bring you closest to the $20 in your example.
The ideal price for your game would be $15.38462, which would make your final value $20.000001.

Hey Nerdo! are you single?
(sorry Keith - I got a little carried away with all of that MATH!)

Actually, if you're game has a trade-in value of $15 and they give you an extra 30%, that would be $4.50 bringing your total to $19.50.
If you wanted to get a $20 trade-in value after the 30% bump your game would have to be valued at either;
A) $15.38 + 30% ($4.614) = $19.994
B) $15.39 + 30% ($4.617) = $20.007

@El Nerdo, thanks. I totally missed that. Figured you or SnowFl8k would catch it.
FYI - Here's the description of the Tone Deaf achievement.
"Beat any song on the expert difficulty with the games sound options turned down to zero."
As far as your headset, make sure you're batteries are new, and I would try it somewhere else first.
Maybe on a stereo in another room or something. That way you can see if it's the headset or the way it is setup on the xbox.

...question.....are "rimes" those small green fruits we put in our Cervezas. I would have said beer, but I've been trained somehow to consider Mexican beer as Cerveza....cause you know, beer and cerveza are not the same thing....

FYI - You need about 95% and 130k points.
I passed it 3 times at 94% and 122k or less and only got 4 stars.
Finally got it to 95% and 131k.
That's also the only song I have left to pass on Hard.
