It was announced today that Harmonix and Electronic Arts, developer and publisher of the hugely successful Rock Band series, will be releasing the Beatles edition of the record-breaking music game on September 9th of this year. The game will feature tracks from every era of the band's lifespan thanks to Apple Corps., who recently opened up their catalog for the game's development. There will be a limited number of special edition hardware options, including instruments modeled after those used by the Fab Four throughout their career. The game will be offered as standalone software (priced at $59.99), with guitars ($99.99) and as a limited edition bundle ($249.99). Keep track of updates and pre-order information at the game's official homepage.




It's too bad the track list won't cover most of the hits in their entire discography. I will definitely buy it regardless, I always wanted to play Beatles songs on drums.
What does this have to do with Los Angeles?
Rock Band is a collaboration with MTV and EA, both of which have major world HQ/establishments here in LA. Also, a lot of people in LA happen to enjoy games!
Ali, those things are true, although neither company is based in LA, But the connection just seems too tenuous. Posts that don't deal with Los Angeles are really just noise among the signal.
Was the post offensive enough to warrant such indignation? I write about video games for LAist and this happens to be a story that deals with major demographic references. If it was just noise among the signal then couldn't you have just tuned it out?
