The Fab Four get their own "Rock Band"-style video game in 2009
To enjoy and purchase The Beatles music in the digital age, the saying "all you need is love" isn't quite going to cut it. You're going to need a video game console.
It's official. The Beatles have allowed their songs, arguably the most sought after catalog in popular music, to find a home in video games. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with Olivia Harrison and Yoko Ono Lennon, have partnered with MTV and game developer Harmonix, makers of "Rock Band," to create a "Rock Band"-style video game featuring Beatles tracks from 1962-1969 that will be released during the holiday season in 2009.
The music is still not available on iTunes, but at least if you get the game, you can pretend that you're an actual member of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
