Okay, so it will be a Rock Band game. Apple Corps LTD., Harmonix and MTV Games have announced that rock music's dream cast, The Beatles, will be reduced to multicolored note charts on 9/9/09, when the "The Beatles: Rock Band" launches worldwide on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.

The "unprecedented, experiential progression through and celebration of the music and artistry of The Beatles" will allow players to tackle a cavalcade of culturally monumental songs via mic, drums and guitars, all included in a Limited Edition Premium bundle for $250 (all platforms) and "modeled after instruments used by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr throughout their career." Standalone guitars will also be available ($100), as will separate game discs ($60, all platforms) for those already surrounded by Instrument Protagonist equipment. According to the press release, The Beatles: Rock Band will be compatible with all prior Rock Band instruments and "other current music-based game peripherals."

And now we wait until September. God, we hope the person behind the store counter is named Jude. It's going to be SO funny when we ask for a copy.

Damn!!!!

I'm so pissed, I so wanted a PS2 version to play this game, I'm really angry right now

anyone else getting tired of these games i know i am :p

That's 10 years after the NA launch of the Dreamcast. :o

This might be what finally pushes me into buying Rock Band. Now I just need space to set up the peripherals...

I was just thinking that. Sega's next system confirmed? lol

what ever sounds stupid..
i am sick of these gmaes.. even if it is the beatles

That's really cool. I probably won't be picking this up, but nonetheless, impressive.

^this.

$250 is steep, but McCartney's Hofner as a controller would be pretty sweet. The same goes for Lennon's Rickenbacker.

Anyway, the 9/9/9 date was surely picked in reference to Revolution 9 (the worst "song" -can you call that a song?- ever composed by the Beatles) and the "number nine, number nine" in the song. It wouldn't surprise me to have ads referencing that

Awesome, but $250?

I can even but a 360 or a Wii with that...
