09/09/09 = Beatlemania!

The Beatles: Rock Band, the first video game capturing The Beatles' extraordinary music, career and legacy makes its debut today, plus final track announced.

Released simultaneously with the digitally re-mastered Beatles CD catalogue, the music-based PlayStation®3 game offers players an unprecedented, experiential progression through the music and artistry of The Beatles.
