Each song seems to be getting the complete works it would appear whether as DLC or not...as such the songs are gonna take that extra bit of effort to be ready for download for the Beatles game.

I cant see them rushing out a couple of hundred DLC tracks for the game anytime soon if at all but we will see most of it spread at length so its quality remains intact for each. Dreamscapes for example will still play there part in the DLC i believe

2-3 dollars a song for about 180 more songs?? That'll be a LOT of money.

Well, since we are speculating... I would say an album every other month with "Past Masters" singles here and there until every single Beatles song is released.

But well worth it!

The studio years stuff (Sgt. Pepper's onwards) will all feature unique dreamscapes (according to HMX) and there is always the possibility of new venues being added for touring years (Revolver backwards) (Candlestick Park? Hollywood Bowl? Washington DC?). There is no doubt in my mind that as these releases come out, they will be of the highest quality.

I predict we will eventually get the entire discography via Monthly album releases. "Abbey Road" in month one, maybe "Magical Mystery Tour" in month two, "A Hard Day's Night" in month three, etc.

As for the non-album tracks, maybe a pack right smack between the albums. For example:

Week 1: Nothing
Week 2: The Beatles Pack 01: Rain/Free As A Bird/Real Love
Week 3: Nothing
Week 4: Abbey Road

It makes sense to me and give a staggared schedule to work with. However, this is just a theory and I have no idea how they intend to deal with this.

I would love to be able to waste a day playing through The Beatles' catalog on this game!

It's one of the main things I want from this game. To be able to play through some of my favorite albums from beginning to end.

Someone came up with what (to me, anyway) sounds like a good theory. The 40th anniversary of the release of Abbey Road happens towards the end of September (September 26). HMX have said that Abbey Road will be available 'soon after launch'. In development/advertising-speak, that could mean days, weeks, months after launch, but most people, I would say, would consider days or weeks after launch to be 'soon'. Hopefully the Abbey Road DLC comes around that anniversary period.

September 22 or 29 would be a perfect timing for it.

The thing that would just blow my mind as a fan would be to have the different versions of the songs available (songs that are different from single to album, alternate versions from the Anthology series, perhaps tracks from Let it Be. . . Naked). If they ended up with more music in the game than just the original studio albums and singles, that would be epic.

I think we can all agree on that.

Rain is on disc. It will be. They couldn't not include such a great bassline.

Until it's confirmed, I'm not expecting it.

I desperately want "Rain" on there, but we just don't know yet. There's still another 20 slots left, and hundreds of songs to choose from.
