First Beatles Rock Band Download for Charity

[Gaedel]

Rock Band announced the first Beatles rock band song for download and all proceeds go to charity. What got me, was they also said it will be exclusively for XBox. Why? I figure if they wanted to help raise money for charity, they would want to raise as much money as they can so should make it available for all consoles. This tells me they are not concerned about the charity, they are only concerned about promoting XBox.

My guess??? Xbox paid them for a limited timed exclusive. Just like they did with the release of RB2.

Oh my, I'm afraid you're a little slow here. It was discussed when announced over a week ago. I completely agree with your argument but I'm just glad that the song will be coming to the other consoles eventually.

I'm glad we finally got news on this subject!

Or Sony weren't willing to give away the revenue so didn't get them?
