Are we going to not play the full Abbey Road medley just because we can't buy the full album?

And so will this game.

I don't see why we wouldn't be able to. PS3 and X360 owners can buy a track at a time, I don't see why they would "force" them to buy the whole album just to do the medley. It'll probably be an option if you have all songs.

For $250, all I want is the same content that the other versions have. That's not unreasonable; it's entirely possible to duplicate the dreamscape levels using Wii-caliber graphics, but the question is are they capable of doing it or will this be a cop out like GHWT was. There wouldn't even be a question of whether anything would make into the game graphic-wise had they just gone the RB 1 route and used FMV ripped from the PS3 version.

Oh, and please STFU to all the people saying "who cares it's the Beatles it'll be awesome no matter what". It's obvious that anyone who says that doesn't primarily play a Wii. I only have a Wii, and I can't afford to buy another console PLUS the instrument bundle for Beatles Rock Band. All I want is for Harmonix not to screw me over the way Activision did their seriously gimped GHWT port.

My understanding that the only difference between the Wii version and the X360/PS3 versions is the lack of HD graphics from the Wii. Everything else is supposed to be the same. Obviously, Wii-specific questions regarding SDHC and album DLC purchasing mean they won't be exactly the same, but content-wise there shouldn't be any difference.

^This. Content wise is should be the same. DLC and graphics are still in question. that's pretty much it.

I've always thought that the reason why they don't like us is because of Rock Band: Japan (which I have attempted to inquire about, to no avail). Because it would give them more competition that could very much wipe the floor with the rhythm games they develop themselves.

Or maybe it's because Activision treats the Wii as a real system, and gives it their best effort to make sure it has every possible feature. As opposed to Harmonix who act like supporting the Wii is some huge burden and they try to slide by with the minimum possible effort. I.e. the crappy port of the PS2 version for Rock Band (1).

Well they did that only with RB1, but improved drastically with RB2. All in all, I think HMX's strength lies within the other two consoles because it's easier for them to work with the other two than the Wii. However, I do believe HMX did give their best effort on TB:RB, and will give their best effort with L:RB and RB3.

they only improved rb2 because all the Wii users were pissed to get a port and then here about GHWT coming out with all the features we wanted.
i promise that if we never cared or "whined" that right now we would be playing an a ps2 port of rb2 and probably a watered down TB:RB.

i love HMX but there's no question that Microsoft's their best buddy and in the end i think its all about that.

i have other theories but im not going to bore you guys with them.

You guys have great optimism.
