Rock Band: The Beatles Limited Edition Bundle Announced

Activision may be releasing up to 5 different Guitar Hero games this year (Guitar Hero: Metallica, Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits, Guitar Hero: Van Halen, Guitar Hero 5 etc) but Rock Band is only releasing two and they deffinately know how to pull it off.

Both games are expected to be released later in the year at similar times which are "LEGO: Rock Band" and "Rock Band: The Beatles", however its "The Beatles" edition of the game that is dragging the most attention by old and new fans alike.

The original game (solous) will be on all platforms (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2) and will cost around 40 GBP, however MTV & Harmaonix have announced that they are also releasing a special "Limited Edition" bundle of the game.

No official specifications have been announced however the bundle will include the "FULL-BAND KIT" , but this is a kit with a difference, as each gaming accessory (i.e. the guitar, the bass, the drums etc) are styled exactly as the beatles used them, for example the Rickenbacker 325 and Gretsch Duo Jet are a pair of full-bodied, classic guitars used extensively by John Lennon and George Harrison and the plastic counterparts look extremely awesome.

The drum kit and microphone are also supposed to replicate the exact ones used by the other two members of the beatles, so if you like the beatles (or classic guitars) then this is a must buy.

Another extra (which i find rather annoying) in this bundle is a microphone stand, so now you can play the guitar and sing the song at the same time without having to use a headset (espically on xbox 360 or PS3).

So at the moment the "Rock Band: Beatles Edition" contains Guitar, Bass Guitar, Microphone, Drum Kit, Game and Microphone Stand, but i am expecting something more "special" to be announced closer to when the game is released, however at the moment this package will cost 180 GBP, which is 30 GBP more than "Guitar Hero World Tour Band Pack" and 20 GBP more than buying "Rock Band + Band In A Pack Box" - however the difference is that its 60's styled accessories and you get a bass guitar (as usually you only get 1 guitar).

In my opinion i like the look of the guitars, but ive already got enough - so ill stick to LEGO Rock Band for now!

I just received a bluetooth headset and cannot get it to turn on. I have it charging and connected to the playstation. It shows that it is charging by flashing red but when I try to turn the power on nothing happens. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Netflix is finally available on the PS3. After loading your “Instant Streaming Disc” you can watch any videos on your Instant Queue. Keep in mind there is no video browsing. You must add videos to your queue through the PlayStation browser

A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. A week ago I found this site:

They say you can play online sports game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?
