The Beatles to have their own Rock Band game

This was officially announced earlier this morning through a press release issued by Viacom's MTV Networks and Apple Corps Ltd.  The Beatles will present their music through via the Rock Band game format.  This is huge news considering that The Beatles' music catalog has not even been licensed to be sold through any online retailers such as iTunes yet, but will be for sale in a video game.  I guess that shows just how much musical games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero really do have an important role in the music industry.  See the official press release here.  Being an avid Rock Band player and a huge Beatles fan, I cannot wait for this to come to fruition!
