Quantcast



Every time that launch commercial for The Beatles: Rock Band makes an appearance, I'm always blown away by how fantastic it really is. I'm still not certain how the advertisement was crafted, although that's a good thing. It adds to the mystery.

As we inch closer to the holiday season, we'll be seeing less and less of that TV spot, and more of a new one devised to target, well, everyone. I was going to say "Christmas shoppers," but this is The Beatles we're talking about here.

Yes, this commercial is decidedly less rad. Even so, I think it will get the job done. Probably more relevant to your interests is the announcement of a new show centered around the game's development. "The Making of The Beatles: Rock Band" debuts Friday, November 27 on VH1 Classic at 7:30 EST.

I think I somehow have that channel. Sweet!

Different from the Abbey Road commercial offered, but I think it works because now it has 100% less creepy John Lennon smile.

Eh, that advert was a little cringey.

First one was good. This one is more like a Band Hero advert.

None of the Dtoid videos are working for me today, on my home or work computer.

Viddler embeds haven't been working for me for a while. I gave up on watching Destructoid videos because of it.

The launch trailer was for the Beatles lovers. The people who buy every piece of merchandise that has the beatles logo and keep it in the attic by a stack of photoshopped pictures of themselves as the fab 4. This is for mom and dad to pick up a game for junior to play.
