The Beatles Rock Band Game Due In September

The Beatles: Rock Band video game has been confirmed and will be hitting stores in September 2009.

The game has been blessed by the two remaining members of the band, Ringo Starr and Sir Paul McCartney. It will be available for PS3, Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360.

Reports say The Beatles: Rock Band will include instruments (guitars, drums and bass) modelled on the band's own equipment.

In a statement, Apple Corps CEO Jeff Jones says: "This game will take you on a journey from the Beatles first album Please Please Me until the last album at Abbey Road."

Sir Paul McCartney also adds: "I like people having the opportunity to get to know the music from the inside out."
