1st Question – Game Platform

The first and most obvious question is which game platform Nintendo Wii , PlayStation 3, or Xbox 360? Obviously if you own one of these, that will make your decision easy. If you don’t already own a game system, get the Nintendo Wii . It’s the most popular choice for Beatle RockBand users, and you’ll love the other games available for it.

Each Beatles RockBand Product you buy has a Wii PS3 and XBox version. So make sure you select the right link for your game platform.

2nd Question – Game Edition

Next question, which package… Software Only, Special Value Bundle or Limited Edition Premium Bundle?

You can buy the Software Only then choose which guitar controller you want to add. Your choices are John Lennon’s Black Rickenbacker 325 Guitar or George Harrison’s Gretsch Duo Jet Guitar.

But, if you want Ringo’s Drum Set and Paul’s Hoffner Bass, you have to order the Limited Edition Premium Bundle. That version includes the software, Ringo’s Drum Set (Beatles logo on the front), Paul McCartney’s Violin-Shaped Hoffner Bass Guitar, a Microphone, and a Mic Stand. WARNING: This product is available for a limited time only!

If you want the Full Beatles Band, you have to order the Limited Edition Premium Bundle, and add John’s Rickenbacker Guitar and George’s Gretsch Guitar.

If you don’t care about the Beatles Replica instruments, you can get the Special Value Edition which includes the software along with a standard RockBand guitar and standard RockBand Drums instead of the controllers that look like the Beatles instruments. You can save a few dollars, but I’d rather go with the Beatles instruments. They may even be worth money someday to a collector.

Michael Jackson is Not Giving Beatles Songs Back to Paul

From CNN… First the rumor went around that Michael Jackson was leaving the Beatles catalog to Paul McCartney in his will. Then the rumor was that McCartney was upset that Jackson didn’t leave the Beatles catalog to the Beatle in his will.

Neither is true, said McCartney in a posting on his Web site.

“Some time ago, the media came up with the idea that Michael Jackson was going to leave his share in the Beatles songs to me in his will which was completely made up and something I didn’t believe for a second,” McCartney said.

“Now the report is that I am devastated to find that he didn’t leave the songs to me. This is completely untrue,” he added…

Paul McCartney Returned to the Ed Sullivan Theatre to Rock Letterman

It wasn’t that it was a return for Paul to the Ed Sullivan Theater where the Beatles rocked America and where Letterman’s show is now taped. It wasn’t that he did a performance on top of the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater, for an impromptu late afternoon concert for summer tourists and New Yorkers….

Michael Jackson’s Death Will Not Effect Beatles Rock Band Set List

Is there any cause for concern that the final set list for Beatles Rock Band will be compromised by Michael Jackson’s death? How did MJ get into the Rock Band title for The Beatles, in the first place? If in case you still weren’t aware, the King of Pop only happened to own the song catalog of The Beatles via ATV, at least until his untimely demise…

New York Rock Startion WNEW looks back on the Golden Slumbers Medley

The other three members of the group accepted Paul McCartney’s suggestion that they record an album ‘the way they used to’, free of all the strife. Knowing that it would likely be their last, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr committed fully to the project, wanting the band to ‘go out on a high note’. Thus it came to pass that their album, Abbey Road, was born…
