Harmonix, EA and MTVGames today announced what will be in the extremely long-winded “The Beatles: Rockband Limited Edition Premium Bundle.” The full band game featuring the ubiquitous rock band will have the standard compliment of instruments, but this time with a bass instead of a guitar, and all The Beatles branded; from the press release:

• 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
• Microphone
• Microphone Stand
• Additional special content

OK, the Bass, the Drums, and the Mic Stand are some awesome bonuses. It’s anyone’s guess as to what “Additional special content” is; maybe a jar of McCartney’s spit or a lock of Ringo’s hair.

The kit will run $249.99 in the US, €199.00 in the Continental Europe, and £179.00 in the UK, and will be released on the extremely easy to remember 09/09/09. Get it? Number nine, number nine, number nine…

Looks like I’m going to have ANOTHER set of fake plastic instruments in the apartment. I wonder how many I can have before the wife starts freaking out… No confirmation yet on the rumored two microphone harmonies, but I’m holding out hope.
