Beatles Rock Band details released! Out on 09/09/09

Beatles Rock Band is out on 09/09/09. MTV Games and Harmonix have announced the bundle which will cost £179.99.

Included in the bundle will be:

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

Additional special content

Quite what the nature of that additional content will be is open to speculation, but some extra in-game items - guitars, outfits, videos and the like - seems likely.

Pre-ordering the bundle gains entry to The Beatles: Rock Band pre-order club. Benefits thereof include "exclusive game elements including art and behind-the-scenes footage" which sounds thrilling. If you're interested, you can register to be informed when pre-orders become available some time in May.

The game itself will launch on 9 September (09/09/09) to coincide with the re-mastered Beatles discography's release.

Infamous PS3 Trailer

Infamous, the new PS3 game trailer looks so cool!

A massive explosion rips through six square blocks of Empire City, leveling everything and everyone in its path. At the center of the blast crater a lone man has survived the event and has been changed forever. From the creators of the award-winning Sly Cooper series, Sucker Punch brings you inFamous, the first open-world action-adventure title exclusively for the PlayStation 3 system.

Players will experience what happens when a real person suddenly starts developing super powers. Will they exact revenge, protect the innocent or do little of both? These are the situations gamers will face when immersed inside a richly interactive and organic living city. A place where actions create broader reactions in the citizens and landscape around them. inFamous lets players unravel an evolving mystery, experience fame and/or infamy and battle powerful, iconic villains…all the while feeling what it is like to become a modern day superhero.
