The Beatles Game Dated

Harmonix, MTV Games and Apple Corps have announced that The Beatles: Rock Band will be launching worldwide on September 9th 2009 (09.09.09) on PS3, Xbox 360 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.”

What surprised me most is that the game now carries the ‘Rock Band’ name. I thought Harmonix said it wasn’t going to be a Rock Band game? Either way I think it’s cool but it’d definitely be better if the name was ‘Rock Band: The Beatles’, it just sounds better.

Either way, I can’t wait. This game is gonna be really cool.
