Gamers Getting More Beatles Love
Attention gamers: love your Beatles: Rock Band, but wish you had more songs to choose from?
Apple Corps Ltd., MTV Games and Harmonix have announced Tuesday they will begin offering via download a second Beatles album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The album, first released in 1967, will now be just a click away.
It’s the second full Beatles album to hit Rock Band since the game launched on September 9. Beatles fans, seeking the tune “All You Need is Love” on Xbox LIVE, have downloaded the song more than 100,000 times. And it seems love goes a long way, as the proceeds of those sales went to Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres.
For $1.99 per song, you can download “Fixing A Hole,” “She’s Leaving Home,” “When I’m Sixty-Four,” “Lovely Rita,” “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!,” “Within You Without You,” “A Day in the Life” and others for Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 System. You can get the “Complete the Album Pack” for $13.49. If you’re using a Wii, you can get individual songs for $2 each.
