Quantcast


Pre-order offers 3 free The Beatles: Rock Band tracks, more photo

If getting into the magical “The Beatles: Rock Band Content Club” wasn’t enough to get you to pre-order The Beatles: Rock Band, maybe this is -- free additional songs.

GameStop has upped its pre-order ante by offering three free additional game songs by The Beatles, presumably via post release downloadable content. The pre-order information doesn’t specifically mention which tracks you’ll get; Harmonix and MTV Games have already confirmed “All You Need Is Love” and the classic Abbey Road in its entirety as DLC.

As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also receive an unlock code for an “in-game photo book album.” Something tells us that particular piece of content will already be on the game disc, and GameStop will simply bestow upon you a “cheat code” to unlock it with little effort. However, the potential for never-before-seen images of the Fab Four should pique more than a few fan’s interest.

Has anyone already thrown down their pre-order dollars, or is this the deal that’ll put you over the edge?

3 free songs is just 480 microsoft points or whatever. You'll probably just get a download code that will DL 3 pre-selected DLC songs anyone else can get. So basically you're getting $6

If this promotion is used in the UK as well, I may have to preorder.

How long until these "music spin-off" full-retail games over-saturate, stop releasing for $60 cash, and start becoming affordable track packs?

10 years? Anyone taking bets?

I hope I can play Strawberry Field Forever, Come Together and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

I'm really, really tempted to pick this up, despite the fact that I've avoided [I]all[\I] Guitar Hero/Rock Band style games since their inception.

@ Monodi- Come Together is confirmed DLC.

I'm considering this due to the fact that I plan on buying all DLC for this game.

I'd like to see what these bonus songs actually are. The problem with being in college is that any game that releases right near the end of August/early September means that I have to hope I can still get the bonus by preordering at the last second, because any preorder bonuses announced over the summer I can't preorder in person until I get back to school. And with Gamestop's rape-tastic shipping prices for anything bigger than a slip of paper, I'm not preordering it from them via mail.

To many music spin-off games its a big rip off. I'd rather just get cheaper track packs and dl albums. Also how the fuck are they charging 249$ for this wasn't rock band 1 and 2 only 199@?
