I know people think I'm just talking but I'm telling you, I'm a Beatles nerd and I totally went 1964 giddy girl in the audience crying when I watched the trailer! I'm a loser (lol). tongue sticking out smiley

Very nice. grinning smiley

 

06/03/09 5:13 PM

I love the videos I've seen of it being played. The one at the official site is excellent! The actual stages in CG, as well as, concert stadiums, and psychedelic sequences.

But what's the perk for pre-ordering it? I see the link on the site. Is it really anything special?

 

06/03/09 6:04 PM

Very excited...really want this game!!!!

Sadly, it's not really panned out yet. Perhaps in the near future the pre-orders will see some special dlc or something, but for right now? The pre-order club is so-so at best.

This is gonna be a great game thumbs up

 

06/10/09 4:57 PM

For some reason as yet unknown to me, thebeatlesrockband.com is not allowing any of its vids to stream. sad smiley

There is an in depth study of the 4 peripherals on OXM on x-box live. They are even more beautiful than the pictures portray! grinning smiley

This is a new image from TB:RB. Shea Stadium setting, if you look closely in the back, there is a warning that THROWING OF OBJECTS IS PROHIBITED, lol. For those who aren't familiar, one of the things The Beatles hated about touring the states was the fact that Americans threw jelly beans at them. Why? One of the guys (Paul, I think, but I could be mistaken) made a comment in the British press that The Beatles favorite candy was jelly babies, jelly babies were similar to Gummi Bears today, small and soft. Jelly beans, as we know have a hard candy shell on them and according to the Beatles hurt like the dickens! lol

*edit*

Tried to put in the large screen shot for y'all but it was just entirely too big! Sorry!

Of all the bands to get their own game for rock band...it's the Beatles? I don't understand why it's not Rush. Look, even if you're a HUGE fan of them, you can't deny that it's not going to be fun a lot of the time on guitar and bass, and never on drums.

I'm a Rockband addict, and hopefully, this game will get my Beatles-crazed girlfriend into RB with me XD
CAN'T WAIT for Abbey Road! One of my favorite albums of all time!
