As an aside, isn't it interesting to see that HMX is finally dropping the PS2? Given that RB is absolutely massive, maybe this means the PS3 is finally coming back from the gigantic flop it has been 'til now? And, by extension, it means that Sony hasn't FUBAR to the point they'll be second banana to Nintendo/Microsoft?

Toymachine: What are you mad at? The fact that we might not be able to import the Beatles, or the fact that people whine about it?

And on the whole subject:

Of course they should tie Rock Band into the title of the game, that will help give it more appeal, just like how Activision is running with the popularity of the "Guitar Hero" name. Which is why GH:WT is outselling RB2, even though RB2 is superior.(opinion) Also, Guitar Hero isn't the greatest name for a "Full Band" game.

And it would be really sweet if the songs end up being tranferrable, but I bet the game on it's own will be unique and different.

I dunno, I'm suprised at how early it's coming out, and I can't wait to hear more news.

Anyone else thinking that the Special Edition costs more because it might come with a replica bass controller?

Either way, definitely looking forward to this.

Should be interesting to see what Harmonix has in mind to crank the difficulty curve on songs that, by and large, "shouldn't" be that difficult. Aside from the rare exception, even the vocals aren't terribly complex on most of their work (unusual tracks like Twist and Shout notwithstanding).

Oh, and interesting point about no PS2 version. Maybe some of the PS2 users will finally get around to upgrading, though honestly I think it would require that Madden and FIFA not making the transition to PS2 one of these days for most PS2 users to even care...

I must be the only one who doesn't give a shit about if The Beatles songs are challenging enough. Rock Band is a party game. Most people aren't even good at music games and the only true good plabands are on internet world tour mode, and these games are far better with people in the room.

Am I the only one who is more interested in how it'll be presented more than the songs themselves?

...I have a feeling those music videos were only the beginning of HMXs plan to rule the world with epilepsy.
