I really hope this doesn't exclude Wii users...

[cutmaclass]

$17 for Abbey Road? Really?

I'll tell you what: At that price, "The End" better not be the final song. You can't convince me that "Her Majesty" and "Mean Mr. Mustard" are worth $2 as individual songs.

[tingly]

When I posted a day or 2 ago that maybe they'll do DLC's as full albums, I was still betting against it. Wonder what they'll do for venues with the dreamscapes, same ones or more generic (like 100% studio) or what. Looks like monthly albums.

[ghostofjarjar]

Ummm whats with the duplicate songs from the game? You DO have to have the game to play the DLC in the first place so what's the point in buying those songs again??

[BLARGCOW]

damn abbey road is expensive :[

[Sayburr]

When they release an album for Rock Band 1/2 they only release the songs that are not already available... it seems they are releasing all the songs??? I am confused.

OK, so these are on disc:
Abbey Road (1969)
Come Together
Something
Octopus's Garden
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Here Comes the Sun

Means these are DLC
• “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer”
• “Oh! Darling”
• “Because”
• “You Never Give Me Your Money”
• “Sun King”
• “Mean Mr. Mustard”
• “Polythene Pam”
• “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window”
• “Golden Slumbers”
• “Carry That Weight”
• “The End”
• “Her Majesty”


12 DLC songs... norm is $2 per song... Total $24 without album discount...

I guess they listed all songs just to make it clear your getting it all.

[ElvisChapelGuy]

If you want to just buy the songs that are not already in the game individually, you can, for $5 more than just buying the album. ;-)

This is awesome.

You guys I'm pretty sure you don't buy the songs already in the game.

[Jordan10la]

Was wondering that myself. Also, anyone else disappointed at the October 20th release date? D:

[Ramirez16]

Does this mean The Beatles on Rock Band 2?

[MushroomJones]

Hot stuff! Cannot wait for these! Only three weeks!

[cutmaclass]

I think they might be listing the full album track list just for informative purposes. Pretty sure the only downloadable bits are the ones that aren't already on disc, like with Doolittle.

[tingly]

I thought it'd come out 9/29. What's 3 weeks in a lifetime? :D They've said outright twice in press releases that the full album will be in the Abbey Road DLC, as much as that flies in the face of the past.

[Sayburr]

Does this mean The Beatles on Rock Band 2?
No, it said the downloads would be available in The Beatles store.

[LuigiHann]

Very strange that they posted the full track listings for the album packs, as opposed to just the not-on-disc listings.

[Dr._Frasier_Crane]

Why isn't "Her Majesty" listed as part of the medley?

It would be hilarious if it was only playable by itself.

[Meckler]

sick!!!!! for my birthday i will be getting sgt. peppers. woooo! oct. 20 is not that bad too me. can't wait to hear what albums are next..

[TheOzone]

You guys I'm pretty sure you don't buy the songs already in the game.I agree. I think it's done to prevent spoilers on what the last disc song is.

[mva5580]

Is anyone else not ecstatic that this more or less confirms no "Beatle tax" for DLC? It all seems to be the normal prices to me.

[foolosophy]

Abbey Road is the best birthday gift ever. Harmonix usually disappoints with my birthday DLC, but this year is going to make up for all those past years :)

[Nooblender]

They're charging the normal price for 30 second - 1 minute songs. It's still more expensive than "normal" Rock Band DLC. On the other hand, if they are sticking to $2/song Sgt Peppers and Rubber Soul should be in line with other DLC.

[Jmax]

I really don't mind the pricing, only because I'm going to buy full albums all around probably, but yeah it seems a bit odd to charge the norm for a 30 second song.

[jay4428]

October 20?! Another painful wait forthcoming for sure. :eek:

[Captendo]

Well, it's great to see how we'll start having full albums DLC in a perfect timing to me, but Abbey Road is kinda expensive. By the way, I'll download it of course!

[mva5580]

"In addition, purchasers of the full album download....."

So does that mean that if you only buy the medley, you can't play it through? (ie, if you do not purchase Oh! Darling and Maxwell's Silver Hammer)

And I would guess that all the songs are listed because A) they just want it to look uniform and have an entire album listed rather than only songs not on the disc, or B) perhaps you ARE buying the songs again and the dreamscape/studio/whatever video is different? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

[FatWilma]

awesome news. a month to go thru the whole game before the albums become a monthly thing. i agree with Captendo, perfect timing.


"In addition, purchasers of the full album download....."

interesting points there. my guess is they're just assuming anyone who would want the medley wouldn't pay for the 1 min individual songs and just buy the whole thing, but if for some reason u didn't want Oh Darling or Maxwell, it would probably still work if u had all the parts.

and i would guess A is the reason for listing all the songs, but i HOPE it's B. a consistant dreamscape or venue for the whole album would be quite awesome.

[Ramirez16]

No, it said the downloads would be available in The Beatles store.Yeah, but it still going to be downloaded to the same hard drive.

[mva5580]

Please don't turn this in to a debate on whether or not you can play Beatles songs in Rock Band 1/2.

You.

Can't.

Ok?

[RockBandRocker]

I just like that we will be getting the ORIGINAL mix of "Within You, Without You".


Dear HMX, Help! in January 2010, A Hard Day's Night in February 2010 and Magical Mystery Tour in March 2010, please?

[Dizzy8Atmosphere]

Yeah, but it still going to be downloaded to the same hard drive.

. . . In a section that is only accessible to TB:RB.

[RM-225]

This info, along with the info for regular Rock Band, makes me so happy.

Keep up the commitment, Harmonix!

[Meckler]

^^^ very nice but i think instead of getting magical mystery tour "first" we should go with Revolver or the white album. definitely want Help! and A hard day's night.

[Ramirez16]

. . . In a section that is only accessible to TB:RB....Death Magnetic is in the Guitar Hero III file. I'm just pondering until we get the reason why this is happening. No big deal.

[Apples]

Is anyone else not ecstatic that this more or less confirms no "Beatle tax" for DLC? It all seems to be the normal prices to me.

I think it's great. If anyone would have commanded a higher price, it would have been the Beatles, especially with all the extra work needed for masters reprocessing/fixing.

The fact Rock Band had 50 million downloads or whatever already was probably a good piece of momentum in keeping that $2 price point.

[jay4428]

I certainly hope there will be some singles mixed in for release around the albums. I would hate to have to wait until 2010 (if ever) for Rain, Ballad of John and Yoko, Hey Jude, She Loves You, We Can Work it Out...etc

[IColinoI]

Very strange that they posted the full track listings for the album packs, as opposed to just the not-on-disc listings.

I'm pretty sure it's to avoid spoilers on the last song

[IErrantVentureI]

This is great. I'm glad we got some info on these.

But... How is Because going to work? Are we going to have to kick our bandmates out just so vocalists can play it, and then go back and sign everyone back in to play the rest of the album?

[elitemastersam]

I couldn't imagine downloading the songs from Abbey Road separately instead of purchasing the entire album. And what a great album it is.

I wonder how much the other two albums are going to cost...

As of right now, I plan on buying both Abbey Road and Rubber Soul in their entirety. As for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, I'll just have to wait and see how they chart some of the songs lacking main instruments.

[RockBandRocker]

^^^ very nice but i think instead of getting magical mystery tour "first" we should go with Revolver or the white album. definitely want Help! and A hard day's night.

Well, I just felt Magical Mystery Tour would be great for March. Play on the M's. :D

Personally, I hope they release it like this:

Jan. - Help!
Feb. - A Hard Day's Night
Mar. - Magical Mystery Tour
Apr. - The Beatles (White Album)
May - Revolver
Jun. - With The Beatles
Jul. - Beatles For Sale
Aug. - Please Please Me
Sep. - Let It Be

Than a Yellow Submarine pack with "Only A Northern Song", "All Together Now" and "It's All Too Much".

Also, a single or two that comes from the same time as an album.

Since this first batch is 2/3 later Beatles, the next batch should have more earlier work.

[Scopitone]

Someone that matters needs to step in and clarify how the overlap with DLC and tracks already on the disc (allegedly) will work.

[xTaKeR]

Now all I will ever need is MMT,Revolver and Help to be DLC and this game is never leaving my disc tray.

[IErrantVentureI]

This is great. I'm glad we got some info on these.

But... How is Because going to work? Are we going to have to kick our bandmates out just so vocalists can play it, and then go back and sign everyone back in to play the rest of the album?

[lucaspaul22]

Yes! This! Although its only a matter of time i suppose.

God, you posted the exact same thing earlier in this thread on page 4!

[elitemastersam]

But... How is Because going to work? Are we going to have to kick our bandmates out just so vocalists can play it, and then go back and sign everyone back in to play the rest of the album?
This worries me too.

[dragonflyr]

can't wait for november ... “Norwegian Wood".

HMX ... THANK YOU for the additional Beatles DLC !!!

between the Beatles game, some of the other announced RB dlc, and RBN .... pffft .. i'm really not sure when i'll ever play a non RB game again!!!

[Kingfish]

I hope they will throw a bone of older stuff and/or a cover or two...please, me begs.

[SgtRubberRevolver]

Yes, Abbey Road is my favorite album of all time. Sgt. Pepper and Rubber Soul are perfect too. I love all of The Beatles albums. Now I know what to spend my allowence on

[lucaspaul22]

I hope they will throw a bone of older stuff and/or a cover or two...please, me begs.

No covers! Ever!

[Kingfish]

No covers! Ever!

Would that include Twist & Shout too? Goober...

[jay4428]

Goober...

^this

[Kingfish]

^this

Funny...

[Sayburr]

Someone that matters needs to step in and clarify how the overlap with DLC and tracks already on the disc (allegedly) will work.
I don't really matter, but I will try to explain:

HMX listed the entire album, but really should have marked the songs that are already on disc because you will not be buying those again.

When they release an album for Rock Band 1/2 they only release the songs that are not already available... The disc songs are already coded as being part of a particular album.

OK, so these are on disc:

Come Together
Something
Octopus's Garden
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Here Comes the Sun

Means these are DLC
• “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer”
• “Oh! Darling”
• “Because”
• “You Never Give Me Your Money”
• “Sun King”
• “Mean Mr. Mustard”
• “Polythene Pam”
• “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window”
• “Golden Slumbers”
• “Carry That Weight”
• “The End”
• “Her Majesty”

Normal price is $2 per song, which would make singles worth about $24 (12 songs * $2) but HMX, for the 360 and PS3 because the stores allow it, give a discount based on the songs being released. So, with the discount you will be getting the balance of the album for much less.

That is how it works with Rock Band 1 and Rock Band 2 so I am sure it will be the same for The Beatles.

[lucaspaul22]

Would that include Twist & Shout too? Goober...

I don't want covers of The Beatles songs!

[lucaspaul22]

Funny...

No

[IErrantVentureI]

I don't want covers of The Beatles songs!

I think he meant covers of songs The Beatles did.

Like Twist and Shout, Roll Over Beethoven, Mr. Postman, etc...

[tingly]

July press release: "As previously announced, the entire Abbey Road album will be available for future download purchase."
August press release: "As previously announced, the entire Abbey Road album will be available for future download purchase."
Something tells me the entire Abbey Road album will be DLC.

[lucaspaul22]

I think he meant covers of songs The Beatles did.

Like Twist and Shout, Roll Over Beethoven, Mr. Postman, etc...

Yea, those I want. Not covers of The Beatles though.
You are the goober Kingfish, for not making it clear what covers.

[chrth_rb]

August press release: "As previously announced, the entire Abbey Road album will be available for future download purchase."

I doubt it, and the reason I doubt it is the cost. If it was $3/track or more, I would think they were doing something extra with the duplicate songs -- such as a seamless dreamscape. To deliver the songs that cheaply suggests to me it's only the non-disc songs.

[whofan]

Lookin' Good HMX, Lookin' Good!

[Kingfish]

Yea, those I want. Not covers of The Beatles though.
You are the goober Kingfish, for not making it clear what covers.

Ok...I am feeling the love John fells for Yoko right now...and I will let it be...

[lucaspaul22]

Ok...I am feeling the love John fells for Yoko right now...and I will let it be...

I'm just saying, The Beatles are the most covered band in history, and they themselves did a small handful of covers. So when you just said you covers, most people think: covers from other bands of songs originally by The Beatles. I got you though now.

[tingly]

I doubt that any are original dreamscapes if they're dreamscapes at all, too much company expense to keep the price at $2. If it's just Abbey Road Studios for the dreamscape period songs (I Want You would be screaming to be taken off the roof), they could have a seamless album experience for a $2 priced effort. But then there's Rubber Soul to confuse my points.

[lucaspaul22]

DLC do have original dreamscapes, thats been confirmed.

Its all good...I feel SURE we are both very much into the Beatles, so its easy to let passion flow for good or bad. If I was guilty of that, I'm sorry.

And it doesn't help! that I am very much in the minority as a fan cause I much prefer the early stuff and their covers to the later studio only songs. I know I am off in that way but I do hope there are enough of us that we don't have to wait a full year to see ANYthing from the early years.

Oh man are you going to be surprised.

lucaspaul22 beat you to it. :D

[hmxsean]

Nah son - I'm ninja'd proof.

[tingly]

So is it entire albums as DLC for all 3 this year, then? Not often that a 47 year-old gets called son ;).

[Zomba]

We need the White Album, Hard Day's Night, etc... also, but what I really want is Let It Be for download. There are some great songs (and popular ones too) that we should get to play:
Let It Be
Across the Universe
The Long And Winding Road
Even though many of Let It Be's songs are in the game, it's the same story for Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper.

[JBurton]

Would be sweet if the full album came with the ability to play straight through. Which would explain why the on-disc songs are on the press release.

[hmxsean]

So is it entire albums as DLC for all 3 this year, then? Not often that a 47 year-old gets called son ;).

I don't understand the question.

[Chael]

Nah son - I'm ninja'd proof.

You are quotable though.

[chrth_rb]

I don't understand the question.

Will songs on disc also be in the DLC (so effectively you'd have two copies of Come Together)

[hmxsean]

Will songs on disc also be in the DLC (so effectively you'd have two copies of Come Together)

Nope - we just listed the full albums as they exist in the world. DLC will be the tracks not already on the disc.

[Chael]

Will songs on disc also be in the DLC (so effectively you'd have two copies of Come Together)

I'll bet the answer is no. ninja'd

[chrth_rb]

Nope - we just listed the full albums as they exist in the world. DLC will be the tracks not already on the disc.

That's what we figured, thanks for the confirm.

[LILWIP]

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WII USERS??????? DO WE GET HOSED ON DLC and have to pay 2 bucks a song? Will we not get DLC until November of next year and have to complain in the forums a lot about when we will see parity with the other systems? Stay tuned to see if these questions get answered....

[chrth_rb]

And while we're at it, how about the SDHC support? That's in, right?

[tingly]

That's what we figured, thanks for the confirm.
Where do you get this we stuff? *sails solo into oblivion*

[Rod_Stixx]

Can't wait to start downloading Abbey Road. Hate to have to wait until Oct. 20 though! That's going to be a long wait. I have my older brother (also a huge Beatles fan) coming for a visit to play the game, and I was taking the game to visit my parents with my daughter for some family rocking out. I was hoping we'd get to play some Abbey Road during those visits, but they'll just have to wait.

[frankieman]

Great, my birthday is on December 1 so can get Sgt. Pepper knowing I'm gonna get enough spare money after a little while and I can get Rubber Soul because I'll have plenty from my birthday.

[MrOwn1]

$17 for Abbey Road? Really?

I'll tell you what: At that price, "The End" better not be the final song. You can't convince me that "Her Majesty" and "Mean Mr. Mustard" are worth $2 as individual songs.

I'll be surprised if they even give Her Majesty a price at all, or even release it. I mean, it's 23 SECONDS LONG. But.......
If it's free, what the hell.

[hmxsean]

And while we're at it, how about the SDHC support? That's in, right?

I am told that it is.

[Kingfish]

Hey Sean, any info you can give us on some of the older/earlier singles/covers/LPs? ANYthing would be greatly appreciated by this old timer :D

[chrth_rb]

I am told that it is.

:eek: I <3 U

[hmxsean]

Hey Sean, any info you can give us on some of the older/earlier singles/covers/LPs? ANYthing would be greatly appreciated by this old timer :D

Nope I can only talk about things that are announced. Did you think that would work? ;)

[Kingfish]

Nope I can only talk about things that are announced. Did you think that would work? ;)

<kicks at the ground> ahh shucks...don't hate me for trying :D

[tingly]

Next time, send beer to Harmonix first, then ask about half a case later.

_______
Drink responsibly. Stay in school. Eat your vegetables.

[chrth_rb]

Nope I can only talk about things that are announced. Did you think that would work? ;)

What about Wii DLC purchases? Will wii be able to buy a whole album, or will wii have to buy individuals songs like in RB2?

PS: I still <3 U for SDHC

[Kingfish]

Next time, send beer to Harmonix first, then ask about half a case later.

If I thought that would work...<looks at watch>...how long would it take to ship a case up there, hummmm.

[hmxsean]

Next time, send beer to Harmonix first, then ask about half a case later.
.

This would probably work.


What about Wii DLC purchases? Will wii be able to buy a whole album, or will wii have to buy individuals songs like in RB2?

PS: I still <3 U for SDHC

We're still not allowed to do both a full album and it's individual songs. So yes you will have to buy them one by lonesome one.

[tingly]

Beats me, but here's the address!

Harmonix
c/o Walgreens
Cambridge, MA 02139

[chrth_rb]

We're still not allowed to do both a full album and it's individual songs. So yes you will have to buy them one by lonesome one.

Even Her Majesty? Ugh. Sucks to be wii.

[frankieman]

But then Wii owners can't play the medley as one track?

[Kingfish]

This would probably work.



Beats me, but here's the address!

Harmonix
c/o Walgreens
Cambridge, MA 02139

So what ya drinking...Sam Adams? ;)

[hmxsean]

So what ya drinking...Sam Adams? ;)

Whatever the drifters will give me.

[chrth_rb]

But then Wii owners can't play the medley as one track?

I would think you can, because otherwise X360 and PS3 owners who buy individual tracks would be in the same boat.

[Kingfish]

Whatever the drifters will give me.

Too funny...you guys are alright!

[Daytripped]

$17 for Abbey Road? Really?

I'll tell you what: At that price, "The End" better not be the final song. You can't convince me that "Her Majesty" and "Mean Mr. Mustard" are worth $2 as individual songs.

Any Beatles song is worth 10$. EVEN Revolution 9. So look at it as a deal.;)

[Moony_Lupin]

I'm very excited to hear that we will have SDHC support, but it just really sucks that Wii owners will have to pay for individual songs. I was so excited to see the DLC price of the album, only to be disappointed with the news that I'll be forking out $2 a pop. It's worth it b/c it's the Beatles, but just not fair. I'm writing Sir Paul a letter.

Edit: Ok, I'm over it now. Will we at least be able to still play the medley as a single track? C'mon baby!

[TheJuror84]

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight, carry that weight a loooong tiiimme.

EPIC

[RADIO CHRIS]

I will buy all the DLC and hopefully each song has awesome dreamscapes and venues and for the next DLC I would want
A Hard Days Night
The White Album
Magical Mystery Tour

[Llamaaction]

Can you at least offer us the medley as one piece, or smaller pieces, Henry? I know I'll buy it either way, but...

[tingly]

"One piece" is confirmed in the press release. or not, I misread the post above

[ArchangelZero]

Does anybody know how the medley will work for Wii users?

[tingly]

I was assuming it'll be saved as individual album tracks with all platforms. The menu would have 'medley' as a choice. It would be a broken link until you get all the songs in it. But we saw how other assumptions of mine can go. X-(

[dalcyte]

I'm eccstatic about playing the B-side straight through, i was wondering if they'd pull that off and they lived up to my dream. This is what i want from TB:RB lol, Abbey Road is my favorite album ever, and being able to play the Abbey Road Meledy...jeez. You better be able to do it on wii

[Llamaaction]

"One piece" is confirmed in the press release.I mean, downloadable as one, I know it'll be playable as one.

[Sayburr]

It seems to me that the medley will be one large download plus each section of it will also be a seperate download for that section... that is what it seems to be. So, if 360 or PS3 owners buy the entire album, not each individual song, the download will include the single file that includes the medley.

I have to assume Wii owners will have to download the medley seperate from the other songs.

[MOTLEYKREW]

Awesome, But I heard that you can import the DLC to Rock Band Beatles? So is the albums available for RB 1/2?

[BazookaJo]

There's only one song left worth downloading from Sgt Pepper's and that's "A Day in the Life".

[chrth_rb]

Awesome, But I heard that you can import the DLC to Rock Band Beatles? So is the albums available for RB 1/2?

All false. TB:RB DLC is exclusive to the platform, and regular RB DLC is not accessible from TB:RB.

[chrth_rb]

Whaaaa? She's Leaving Home is a great song. Probably won't be much fun on drums, but should be good for guitar and vox.

[Muse614]

i so want to play the b sides so bad!! im so getting this

[dizzy500]

played rock band beatles it's the don

[dizzy500]

i am **** at singing but will help u

[dizzy500]

come on baby rich man
:confused:

[dizzy500]

i love the beatles

[dizzy500]

i am on itunes pissed tell me a good tune by the beatles

[InsrtCoins]

I'd like to see The White Album released as DLC. That would be a great album to play end to end (and don't get lazy with Revolution 9. We want that for the sheer novelty of it. Be creative!)

[chrth_rb]

It seems to me that the medley will be one large download plus each section of it will also be a seperate download for that section... that is what it seems to be. So, if 360 or PS3 owners buy the entire album, not each individual song, the download will include the single file that includes the medley.

I have to assume Wii owners will have to download the medley seperate from the other songs.

That seems to be the case based on the info in http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162989

It looks like the Medley is broken out:
You Never Give Me Your Money
Sun King/Mean Mr. Mustard
Polythene Pam/Bathroom Window
Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight
The End (on disc)

I'm reading the info to mean you can't split the joined songs (i.e. you can't play just Polythene Pam), and there's no word if you can group together for a "partial" medley (e.g., Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End)

[msmith]

I really hope this doesn't exclude Wii users...

Yeah no kidding! I will be one pissed off biatch if it isn't accessable to the WII! spend all that money to buy RB and Beatles and then have darn near all their DLC's not include the WII? YEP! Iwill be pretty darn mad.

[msmith]

Ummm whats with the duplicate songs from the game? You DO have to have the game to play the DLC in the first place so what's the point in buying those songs again??

Hopefully we'll be able to pick and choose what songs out of the albums we can Download. I can't see rebuying them over and over again as well. it would be a waste of money/points

[MindOfJigsaw]

Kinda beat no DLC for Ps3 right away

[chrth_rb]

HMX already confirmed that the listing of all album songs in the DLC announcement does not indicate that you download duplicate songs, just a listing of the songs from each album.

[thatnicegirl]

I know i am going to ask the most stupid question ever posted in these forum, but i've never owned a video game and I'm a bit useless with them. I just bought TB:RB because of pure and absolute love, admiration and devotion for The Beatles and I'm using my brother's PS3.

I just read that "All you need is love" is only available for 360º, does that mean that PS3 users will never have access to that song? and are the new albums will also be available for PS3??

I am quite concerned cause it's the only investment in video games i've ever made :S

[justintimeROA]

"All You Need Is Love" will come to PS3 once the exclusivity deal is done. People speculate it will be out around December 9th. And PS3 will be getting the album releases as well.

[TwainFan]

Does this include the Wii as well? I sure hope so!

[JosieNutter]

Seems like it would be pretty easy for them to port the RBB songs to RB2 at some point (with lead vox), but it would make sense that they'd only do that after sales for RBB had tapered off. No point in doing it before that from a marketing standpoint.

[jwebb1970]

Does this include the Wii as well? I sure hope so!


Yes - AYKIL will hit the Wii Store the same time - give or take a day or 2 - that it comes to PS3.

The 360 exclusivity was a "timed exclusive" that involved proceeds going to charity. Once that expires, reportedly in early December 09, all 3 systems will have it available.

[vcalzone]

You know what will be really awesome? Everyone playing online will have a VERY similar set of DLC if they have it. It should be really easy to find random users with DLC, and pretty much a LOCK to have good sessions if you swap codes with people on here.

Agreed - and looking forward to it.

Of course, I need to put my TB:RB Friend Code up here. Will do so by the time we have access to AbbeyRoad DLC.

[JShadowz666]

People complain alot...LoL

The whole premise behind buying the full album, with disc songs included, is to be able to play the medley, which can only be played when the full album is purchased...

[Snakes21]

I can't wait for the three albums to download... does anyone know wich other albums will be released ???
Revolver ! Revolver! Revolveeeeer!

[FCBarcalonaFan]

I'm extremely disappointed :mad: that "Hey Jude" and "Let it be" aren't on this list. The game is great but it feels incomplete and when i cant play my favorite songs I die inside.

[FCBarcalonaFan]

"All My Lovin' "?

[FCBarcalonaFan]

Hey Jude?
Let it be?
All My Lovin'?
Yesterday?
Help!?
She Loves You?
Strawberry Fields Forever?
Love me do?
Eleanor Rigby?


?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
These are great songs yet they aren't on the game or this list?!
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Unfortunately no future DLC has been confirmed. That said, I can't imagine we won't get more songs, with so many great ones not in the game. Keep checking in.

[Hetz]

This nonsense of TB:RB DLC is getting silly.... way too many threads out there!

Play the game, don't play the game, read a book, go for a drive, watch a movie, have sex (adults only), clean your bedroom, do your homework, do your taxes, mow the lawn, shovel the snow, bake a cake, walk the dog, watch tv, read another book, do your laundry, whatever???

HMX has said that there will be more DLC and when it is available, they will send out an email or post a message on this website, OKAY.... enough already!!!

:) Thank you very much and have a nice day! :)

When did they ever say that? All I've heard is this "hopeful" crap.

They didn't. People that keep saying that they have are getting really annoying. They haven't said anything about there being more DLC other than they are "hopeful"...whatever the heck that is supposed to mean.

[BubbleBobble]

+1 for buying all the DLC

But, once again, this is that useless "hopeful" statement. In no way does it mean we'll be getting more DLC rest assured.

[Scopitone]

There won't be a damn thing said until EA decides to pay up for Harmonix http://kotaku.com/5468188/electronic-arts-scaling-back-third-party-distribution-plans

With their new RBN coming out they can demand a lot more and they know it. Also, I used to frequent these boards quite a bit and since popping in occasionally to check for updates all I'm finding is a lot of people asking when the new DLC is coming out and sadly sycophantic types giving them hell for even asking.

[MistressD]

I don't think there's any harm in asking, as long as you can accept the fact that until Harmonix comes out with a definitive answer, you're not going to hear what you want. I understand people being nervous, hell, I am too, but nothing can be confirmed or denied until these issues are resolved. I'm sure HMX is listening to all our concerns and will give us the correct information when it's time.

And by the way Sayburr, don't forget to update your list, "All You Need is Love" is available on the Wii and will be available for the PS3 next Thursday. Hey, it may not be new to you Xbox guys, but it is something. I say we don't give up for more dlc yet.

Y'know, I asked the same question two days ago, and was told I was a moronic ****** with an entitlement complex who needed to die. Then the thread was shut down. That's the kind of support this community has for folks wanting to participate in it.

The mods really need to work on banning the right people. I've been banned twice because they don't understand blatant sarcasm, while a lot of these guys who ridicule people get away with it clean.

Friday morning bump. HMX still leaving us in the dark. Awesome..

There won't be more DLC.

Just keep telling yourself that.

It it's wrong, you'll be more happy.

If it's right, you won't be too dissappointed.

That's what I'm doing, and it seems to have worked.

Not me. I had a feeling it was somebody making an epic bump and not noticing the 100 other topics.

If they want to give us some more, they'll make a new thread on the announcements.
