The Beatles: ROCK BAND - Rumors and Facts

[Sayburr]

I've noticed that the topic of having every Beatles song be DLC has come up a lot recently so I think part of this interview should be added to the first post. Specifically this part:

Would it be realistic to think that the entire Beatles catalogue might be available at some point?

The entire catalogue might be stretching it a bit. I think we'll have a lot of the relevant and live music with four player band instrumentation. That being said, there's no fixed cap right now. We have a certain number of songs we're working on right now. Apple Corp has said they're interested in working and going forward, so we're hoping to do as much as they'll let us have.

I think a lot of people are expecting to get every, or at least most, Beatles songs as DLC when that may not happen.

I agree. I didn't see that particular interview before. Thanks for pointing it out to us.


I just noticed, it says "a lot of live"... Interesting...

Perhaps they're referring to the rooftop recordings on Let it Be? Or maybe stuff from the Hollywood Bowl concert will be DLC?

Maybe the Blackpool Night Out versions of some 1965 songs?

I would guess some of the BBC recordings may be usable.

they're all usable!

I posted this question in the "will you buy more mics..." thread, but nobody seemed to notice, so I'm reposting it here.

I have a 4 usb port PS3.
that means I can plug 3 mics directly into the PS3, and then have a hub plugged into the last port.
does that hub need to be AC powered to power all 3 instruments, or not?

Why wouldn't you buy wireless mics instead? That's like butting bumper-stickers on an Audi.

its because I already have 2 mics, and we just got another cheap one on ebay.
are there even wireless mics for the PS3 yet (and wouldn't they still need to use usb ports)?

Not sure. I have a 360 and no controllers take up USB ports unless they are wired. That's pretty lame if they still do though.

the wireless instruments use dongles (which take up a USB port each) to connect to the PS3.
The RB2 guitar dongle has a port on the bottom of it, which means you can plug the drums OR my RB1 guitar into it, but not both. So I would need a usb splitter or hub to be able to plug all the dongles into at once.

EDIT: here I go again, killing threads unneccessarily...
EDIT 2: I never really got a proper answer to my original question. will I need an AC powered hub, or just one that plugs into the USB port only?
