Beatles: Rock Band to cost GBP 179

That's for the game, guitar, drums and mic.

A price has been announced for the European version of The Beatles: Rock Band.

The Limited Edition Premium Bundle will retail for GBP 179 / EUR 199. For that you'll get the game, a Höfner Bass controller (just like the one used by Sir Paul), drums (complete with "classic pearl finish and vintage replica Beatles kick drum head"), a microphone and stand. Plus there's "additional special content", whatever that means.

If you pre-order the game you'll be able to join The Beatles: Rock Band Pre-Order Club. This will get you access to breaking news plus "exclusive game elements" such as "art and behind-the-scenes footage". The first batch of stuff will be released in May, with lots more to follow before the game is released on 9th September. As previously announced, The Beatles: Rock Band is being developed in collaboration with George Harrison's son and will feature previously unreleased material. It's being produced for Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 and will be released for all three consoles on the same day, all around the world. And across the universe.
