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.

Sgt Pepper Beatles Costume

First, you could go with the Sgt Pepper era Beatles Costume.

OK, wait till you see how pathetic these look in the Amazon product images. I just had to have some fun and make the image above. These actually look great without Amazon’s goofy poses and odd faces (nice leg kick George)…

These Sgt Pepper costumes are available on Amazon in four colors…

Don’t be frightened off by the goofy pictures on Amazon! (I warned you.)…

Green – John Lennon
Pink – Ringo Starr
Blue – Paul McCartney
Red – George Harrison

Other suggestions include the Early Beatles Costume, or a Cheaper Sgt Pepper Costume Jacket. Here’s the…

Sgt Pepper Costume Jacket

As a slightly cheaper alternative, you can go with just the jackets made from another company. But, unfortunately they only come in Blue and Red, and you’re on your own for pants. They are also less authentic looking compared to the real Beatles versions…

Sgt Pepper Costume Jacket Red

Early Beatles Suits

The next alternative is to go with Early Beatles Costumes. Here, everyone would obviously wear the same suit. The Beatles suit fits chest sizes up to 42”. (I’m 6′3″ and 220lbs with a 42 inch chest, so I guess I’d be the maximum size that would fit).

Early Beatles Suits

Deluxe Early Beatles Costume

Want to go all out? Check out this Super Deluxe Beatles Costume suit. This is something that could be worn by a Beatles Cover band. Four of these would have a great shot at first place in a costume contest.

Beatles Wig

Of course every Beatles costume deserves a Beatles Wig. Unless of course you have enough hair to comb forward.

Here’s a Deluxe Beatles Wig…

Here’s a darker shorter Beatles Wig… (Save $10 Off on this Beatles Wig)

Beatles Costume Accessories

And, here’s a good thin black Beatles Neck Tie to finish off the early Beatles Costume…

John Lennon Eyeglasses

These are great John Lennon Eyeglasses for the Sgt Pepper costume. (John Lennon didn’t wear them in the early Beatles.) These John Lennon eyeglasses are clear so they will look like the real thing but they won’t have you bumping into walls and bridges…

Beatles Costume Mustaches

For the Beatles Sgt Pepper Costume, you’ll need costume mustaches for all four members and maybe some sideburns.

For some odd reason, costume mustaches are sold by the dozen. (Today’s weird fact of the day.)

Costume Mustaches 12 pack

Check out these Fake Sideburns too.

If you do go out on Halloween as a Beatle or a group of Beatles, PLEASE post my a comment. If you have a photo, let me know. I’ll post it to my blog. Happy Halloween, Have fun!
