The Beatles: ROCK BAND - Rumors and Facts

[Electric_Zen]

The Gamestop preorder bonus is an exclusive in game photo album. Here is one of the pics from that album:

Nice. But I think what they are giving you is an unlock code for the photo album, which can also be unlocked by progressing through the career mode.

The real meat of the preorder bonus will be the three bonus songs.

Yar. This is how we do it also. I just turn the mic sensativity up a fair bit so that no shouting is needed. Only problem is if you breathe a bit funny going into or ending lines it sometimes triggers accidentally

PROTIP: When breathing between verses/lines....tip back a bit from the mic.

I saw this in a loading screen once.

I have a question about preordering through Gamestop for Wii. I know we get three free songs, but there's also the matter of the SD card. I was, at first, under the assumption that to receive the SD card I would have to have the bundle mailed to my home, but now that I re-read the information I'm wondering if I misunderstood.

Here's the info:
"Reserve The Beatles: Rock Band for the Wii and receive a 2 GB SanDisk memory card. Memory card can hold approximately 70 Rock Band songs. Available for online customers only.
Online Customers: Memory card will ship with your game."

My question- I pre-ordered online, but chose to do in-store pick up. Will I be receiving an SD card even though I'm doing in-store pick up?

Thanks for the help.

I would say NO since the quote says, "Will ship with your game". If your not shipping the game to your house then they are not shipping the SD. But, you should call them and ask the question to make sure.

I had a GameStop clerk tell me yesterday that The Beatles BUNDLE will contain some sort of voucher for DLC. Not the game.

However, I don't really trust this guy, since I've caught him spreading misinformation in the past. I don't think it's intentional...I just think he reads too many internet rumors and spits them out as fact later.

I thought the same thing, at first. Then (maybe wishful thinking) I thought that they still need to mail my preorder to the store. I'll call to be sure, just wanted to check here before I did so. I will report back what I find out.

Simple question really, is the hofner bass ever going to be released as a stand alone? It's the only one I want and I can't justify buying the whole set just for one guitar.

Unknown at this time.
