Beatles Rockband PS3

Well I never thought I'd see the day when I would have the chance to play a Beatles video game. After being a Beatle fan for over 30 years now I'm going to have my hands on a replica of McCartney's classic hofner bass guitar ! Wow, when will I act my age? Sept.09.09 is the release date of this game. I heard about this game recently and even with the high price tag decided to pre order it. I mean how could I resist ? The limited or premium edition will include drum set with The Beatles logo, mic and stand, and Paul's bass guitar controller as well as the software game. Though I'm not interested in getting George Harrison's Gretsch Duo Jet, I will at some point pick up John Lennon's Rickenbacker 325.

It's funny I mentioned this to my niece today and she looked at me and said, why would you want a video game guitar when you could just buy a real one? My reply was like, uh could I ever afford a real Hofner bass, or a Rickenbacker 325? Can I even play the guitar? ( I dabble a bit on the piano ) Well I have often thought of learning the guitar one day, but for now I'll do some air guitar with the rockband set when I get it. Besides I have heard that by playing the drums on rockband you can actually learn to play real drums.
But the point of this game really is for Beatle fans to become that 5th Beatle. And with Beatles rockband you can be there with the band from it's early days at the cavern club to the recording studios of apple records and the final roof top show singing Get Back. Oh man I can hardly wait. I'm glad my PS3 is wired for surround sound. Admittedly this will be a big change from my traditional gaming experiences. It's times like these when I can really appreciate what technology has brought us. Now I wonder where I can get my hands on a Beatles wig !?
