Now we're at 5 days, half of ten! It's almost the last weekend before the game. :D

I don't really care what the special content is. Anything would be new to me, and I'm already satisfied with paying $250 for what I know I'm getting. A DVD would be awesome, but if it was anything limited edition that I didn't want to use (like if it were stickers or something), I'd just keep 'em some place safe and perhaps sell them in a few years.

Just posted on HMXHenry's Twitter:


Oh, still planning on hiding swag for The Beatles: Rock Band around Seattle this week. Shirts, stickers, XBL codes & more. Keep posted!

\A possible indication that the 'special content' is a shirt and stickers? It would seem unlikely that they would have special shirts and stickers for something like that.

There's a flier released for Walmart that says they have The Beatles: Rock Band for sale. I'm assuming it's a preemptive thing, but there are other releases that have dates in the future (ie. Sept 15). I may check it out. It never hurts to check when the Walmart is 15 minutes away by foot.

I just noticed that Good Morning Good Morning and Dear Prudence are both in fields that are kinda similar, in different seasons. I couldn't think of a better name than "Lennon Lea" :P

I also came up with the name "Pseudio" for those dreamscapes which are, rather than actual other-worldly areas, more like Abbey Road Studio with a trippy background. Common rule is if the amps and stereos travel with them, it's a "Pseudio".

So: Come Together, Getting Better, Hello Goodbye, Hey Bulldog, Revolution and The End would all be Pseudios ^_^

I don't think a controller has ever worked for a Rock Band game except for selecting options for Vocals players.

Keep playing the plastic guitar, you'll get better. And it's so much more awesome anyways. :D

For anyone curious about how the Wii version looks, I found a decent quality video of I am the Walrus on the Wii.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bslbmUnA7Mk
It looks very nice. I watched it side by side with the 360/PS3 version, and it seemed about the same. The only differences I saw were that a few camera angles were slightly different and the graphics are a bit less pretty.

Rock Band 2 sold 1.7 million in 2008. I'm guessing the analyst just grabbed that number and matched the longer release window for TB:RB (since RB2 came out later in the year) against the industry decline/band-only aspect and called it even.

Please Harmonix do not pull a GH please stop your single band games with this release.. make the rest track packs... what i mean by pull a GH is this.. for example...

Within the last year or so.. the following games have all came out. GH world tour, GH metallica, GH smash hits, and GH 5 seriously this is serious fail the only way this could work is if you made it so the tracks could be exported all to one game such RB was for RB 2. Not only does this anger consumers do to feel the need to buy the latest game so therefore they are wasting money they also cannot play all their songs on one game. And finally but not by any means the least important reason not to do this.. is because Online all GH players are split between all of their 4-5 titles (just including newers ones not even counting 1 2 and 3) therefore this makes finding a match online very annoying due to lack of players on each title...

Well, I returned to work last night from my injury(work at Walmart). I was hoping to get the game a bit early, but no dice. They've got '[em locked up tight, and are hyping the midnight release of the game. Why must this Walmart be the only one with semi-competent electronics dept. employees? They don't seem aware of the fact that the remasters aren't supposed to be released until Wednesday, though, so I may be abkle to snag a few of those Tuesday...

They're freaking goregous. I actually had to watch these and the other versions side by side to make sure these weren't from the 360/PS3 version. The only differences (besides the ever so slightly less pretty graphics) were the camera angles in Twist and Shout and the water doesn't reflect off of the Beatles in Octopus's Garden.

It's weird how well the Wii SV is selling. The Wii itself is suddenly #7 which makes wonder if the game is selling a ton of consoles. No Beatles RB's are in the top 50 of Most Wished which means people aren't waiting, they're buying. People without instruments seem to be opting for the LE bundle instead of getting RB2 bundle+game for $90 less.

It's clearly an early build. As well as John's minimal hand movements, Paul doesn't play the bass at all.

I'd also expect to see some gussying done to the black and white sections of the song. Maybe some Psuedoscape stuff done to it (something similar to Revolution)?

I peeked in and there they were in all their beautiful glory... the bundles. I felt silly because my heart started beating like I had just seen Jessica Alba in person.

On another note, I asked the guy if my preorder would be available for pick up day of and he said that even if my actual bundle wasn't there he'd give me one of the ones in the store. Then he asked me, "didn't you call the other day?" I guess I'm the only preorder at my store. Or maybe I'm the only person who cares at my gamestop.

On another note, I asked the guy if my preorder would be available for pick up day of and he said that even if my actual bundle wasn't there he'd give me one of the ones in the store. Then he asked me, "didn't you call the other day?" I guess I'm the only preorder at my store. Or maybe I'm the only person who cares at my gamestop.

That reminds me; I should give my store a call tomorrow to check that the bundle will be there to pick up on Wednesday (side-note: it is really weird to say that). The thus far unsatisfactory experience of support for RB in Australia means I won't be satisfied until I have the thing in my hands.

EDIT: I'm about an hour away from going to 1 day to go on the countdown. Do you think I should just put Song 45 in normally, or should I invisi-text it? I'm leaning towards just putting it in normally, but if anyone objects I'll hide it.

If you end up not preordering, just get there early. I'm sure I'll be the only person at my Gamestop on Wed. morning, but I want my freaking bundle when they open. I'm taking the day off and I don't want to sit around with nothing to do.

I'm leaning toward just putting there normally, but seeing as how we're still getting posts here occasionally asking about the 45th song, I'd suggest going with the inviso-text option just in case. Might save you from getting an angry PM or two from the couple of people who still don't know. ;)

That's true. Plus, HMX has never actually announced that Song 45 (it still feels strange to call it by the actual song title) will be in the game.

I don't think that the gamestop employees would know because they're not really involved with the song selection or anything. All they do is hand you the card, and that's it.

EDIT: Also, I don't know if everyone knows this, but, it says on the gamestop.com/beatles website, that the songs are from future ALBUMS, and it comes with a in-game photo book.

Once again, for the 3rd (and final time):

"Let It Be" was RECORDED IN 1969, thus fitting into the timeline.

"Hey Jude" was NOT a U.K. release, and was merely a compilation of later years singles for the U.S./Canadian audience.

That's true. I've mostly been watching the guitar videos; partly because they are the most plentiful and partly because it's likely to be the third or last story mode I tackle (I'm strongly considering vox-bass before doing it), so it won't be 'ruined' for me.

Anyway, I still haven't watched the latest Entourage, I want to watch a few more eps of The Wire, and I might grab a couple of the DLC tracks getting released tonight. I have plenty of stuff to pass the time.

From the FAQ:

Your free DLC codes will not be available before October 20, 2009, when the first songs (from Abbey Road album) are posted to the respective online system (Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Network, Wii Shop Channel). If all or some of your songs you selected are from the Sgt. Pepper's album, those songs will be available sometime in November, 2009. Your free DLC codes are sent to the same email address that you confirmed when entering your code. Please check your email starting October 20, 2009 to retrieve your free DLC codes.
So there we go. Abbey Road tracks or Sgt Pepper tracks and codes that don't come round for over a month. Considering there's only eight songs available for it and no special bonus medley, I'll be waiting to use my code in November.

So are you going to put rumored dlc up? This was from a september 1st article.

Like in, I think in ‘Strawberry Fields,’ you might end up playing the string parts a little bit on the guitar.link (http://blastmagazine.com/the-magazine/gaming/gaming-news/2009/09/beatles-rock-band-harmonix-audio-lead-eric-brosius/) I posted it before but it got lost in the mix, but it's worth mentioning under dlc.

It also possibly confirms that revolver is in the que.
But that being said, if we choose to do more albums, I’m sure we’ll do some early ones too, because we want to do as much as we can. It just also happened that I think the first three albums that we picked are three of the pretty big, iconic ones—Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper’s. And we were going back and forth between Rubber Soul and Revolver, because we wanted something from that period, but we were debating back and forth.

Hey Harvey, why didn't you get the Stereo Box Set? Too expensive?

Yeah, it was either that or the bundle. I already have all the CDs, so it's not as if I'm missing out horribly by not having them all today. And, yeah, the cost was an issue as well. Even though it will cost me about $40-ish more to buy them all separately, I'd rather spread the cost out then take it all in one hit.

By the way, I'm powering through Story Mode. I'm just about at the end of Shea Stadium (only need to do I Feel Fine). A few FC's and GS's, a few surprisingly tricky numbers. It is weird to play a game where some of the hardest 'levels' are first (I Saw Her Standing There is a a bit of an arm killer on bass). Plus, the Hofner takes some getting used to: it is much longer than the old GHIII LP I'm used to.

If you buy the individual albums at Amazon, it's $178 (based on current price of $12 and $17) which is about the same price as the cheapest the stereo box set got. If you buy them from Target (which is having a special deal of buy 2, get a $5 gift card), it's actually cheaper than the stereo box set.

The box set is meant to be a collectible, not a value pack.

Nope, I'm a downstrummer. My fingers just don't work fast enough to be a decent downstrummer on all but the easiest songs.

The left arm also feels a bit sore as well: the neck of the Hofner is a lot longer than any RB/GH guitar to date, so you have to stretch a bit further.

I'm not sure on any deals, but as far as I know, they're selling four albums. Abbey Road, Rubber Soul, Help!, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Pricing is about 12 - 13 dollars I think.

I shoulda gotten my mom to get me the remasters early. They were in the store last week, but of course not for sale till tomorrow.

Yeah, I figured up that buying a bun ch of the remasters at Target, then applying the gift cards toward the rest, the entire set would cost right at $150, tax included. If I could afford all of them, I'd definitely do it. I can only afford about 5 of 'em right now, though.
