Official Word on the 3 Free Gamestop/HMV Songs

[ktmason]

Now, do you HAVE to pick them when you pick up the disc/bundle, or can you later on down the road????? I would like to see the price of the albums first...

[RMThompson]

You can't just choose any song from Abbey Road or Sgt Pepper. The songs for HMV are as follows (I assume they're the same for Gamestop):

Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Oh! Darling
Because
Her Majesty
Fixing a Hole
She's Leaving Home
Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite
When I'm Sixty-Four
Lovely Rita
A Day in the Life

I think since you have to buy ALL of Abbey Road to get the medley as one, I'll wait and get Fixing a Hole, She's Leaving Home and A Day in the Life from Sgts.

Will we be given a card on pickup of the game including the details and stuff?

So, people who want the full albums get nothing from this offer?

I lol'd.

Its cheaper to put the 3 songs toward Sgt Peppers and then buy the rest individually.

I'm gonna try and get 2 codes and get 6 free songs - all the Sgt Pepper's songs on the list!

Not at all. If you get all Sgt. Pepper tracks with this offer, it's cheaper to buy the remaining tracks rather than buy the whole album. Since there's no album advantage as far as we know for Sgt Pepper, you save money on it.

Of course, if Wii users can't buy the whole album to begin with, they benefit for either album.

I'm going to strongly suggest that, if you are getting full albums, you do NOT pick songs you are dying to play Day One available. I had a heck of a time with the 20 free downloads getting the code to be sent for Rock Band 2. Everyone at Harmonix was great at eventually getting me the code, but it took a while, about a week. I can't think of a worse situation than to have A Day in The Life sitting there, waiting for download, but having to hold off because I hadn't gotten the code yet.

If you're not buying the whole album, its a different story.

Where is the redemption code? On the receipt? Or do you get something when you pickup the game?

[UnpluggedCrazy]

Since I've got a Wii and therefore can't get full albums, I won't be able to play the medley anyway, so I might just grab "Her Majesty" as one of the free songs so I don't end up shelling out $2 for 17 seconds.

You get a "Rave Card" when you pick up the game (if in store) or an email (if you ordered online for shipment)
