Interesting background. Home studio used by them? I dunno, I hope you could export the songs over to your hard drive for use on the actual RB game. |

Wow @ the Limited Edition Premium Bundle price. I'm thinking it's going to be more than your typical instruments and probably include some Beatles DVDs or art books. Either that or some top-notch replicas. |
