Announced at E3, we already knew that the entirety of The Beatles' Abbey Road would be coming to The Beatles: Rock Band as downloadable content after the game's September 9 release.
Today, in a massive New York Times article, it's been revealed that Rubber Soul and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band are also scheduled for release. In fact, the Times article mentions that along with Abbey Road, they will be "the first three albums" released; it's possible we'll see more appear down the line. Our wallets cringe, but the Beatles fan inside of us hollers and tears up like a teenage girl at Shea Stadium in '65.
The NYT article in question is pretty incredible; check it out.

I want the game so bad, but I'll be waiting for a deal or something. I hope one comes soon!
What I don't understand is people here and elsewhere who like "OMFG, more DLC, that sucks! So I won't buy the game." If you liked the idea of the game before the announced robust post-release support, and dislike it after... I don't think you've thought this all the way through.
Also I'm all for dlc on this game. It's only the 40 songs on the disc of course I'm going to want more. Will I rush out to get please please me like I will rubber soul? Nope but at least I could theoretically have the option.
Hurry, 9/9/09.
