If you’re planning on picking up The Beatles: Rock Band full band kit when it hits the shelves on September 9th, clear some space in your rumpus room, boyo. The $249 kit will include the following:
- The Beatles: Rock Band software
- Höfner Bass controller: Large scale replica of the Bass famously used by Sir Paul McCartney
- Beatles-inspired and Ludwig-branded Rock Band 2 drums with classic pearl finish and vintage replica Beatles kick drum head
- Microphone
- Microphone Stand
- Additional special content
Interesting that there’ll be no guitar controller in favor of Paul McCartney’s bass instead. If you don’t already have six or seven various music game guitars, you may have to pick one up. The mic stand appears to be a first, as well. Here’s to hoping that “additional special content” means a skinny black tie and a moppish wig.
European pricing was also announced today. The full band kit will cost €199.00 for EU members and £179.00 for those of you in the UK.
