Fans of the Beatles have always been disappointed that you can’t get their music from iTunes, so you’re unable to download their tracks for an iPod or MP3 player. Recently a commemorative Beatles iPod was released, but it still didn’t come with digital versions of the tracks, it comes with CDs instead!

Now however Beatles fans will be able to get their music digitally, but it’s not from iTunes, nor is it for your MP3 player. No, instead the Fab Four’s music is being released in a version of the MTV video game series, Rock Band.

The Beatles version of the game, which will allow you to play along to their music, was produced with input from the surviving members of the Beatles, Ringo Starr and Sir Pail McCartney.

McCartney stated:

The project is a fun idea which broadens the appeal of The Beatles and their music.

Ringo added:

How wonderful that The Beatles’ legacy will find its natural progression into the 21st century through the computerised world we live in.

Let the games commence.
