The Beatles: Rock Band DLC Not So Exclusive to Xbox
Is everyone ready for The Beatles Rock Band to grace us on September 9th? As many of you know, I work for a major electronics retailer here on the West coast. We had our Microsoft rep pop in to update our Xbox kiosk (Sony does the same) and dropped off some Beatles: Rock Band displays. Standard procedure and all, but I happened to notice something odd regarding one of the Beatles top songs “All You Need Is Love,” which is considered Xbox 360 exclusive DLC…
So if you were bitter about MS was getting one of the Beatles’ classics, don’t worry. It’ll be on PS3 either right before Christmas, or in early 2010 for PS3 and Wii. I love how Microsoft NEVER said that they had a “timed exclusivity contract” on the DLC song, and instead chose to say that it was “Xbox 360 Exclusive”. But it wouldn’t be the first time.

I was kinda worried this wouldn’t happen, but now……………
we’re all observers in one big ‘screw you’ party.
one song?? I wonder how much Microsoft paid for that…one more example that shows Microsoft has no faith in its product to beat out the competition based on its own merits, they have to get timed exclusive crap like this to try and win people over
yo, sev, you’re going to love this story.
THis concerns about the lack of Cross-Game Chat for the PS3
and Super_Secret, the guy that stated that the slim was real is back on N4G talking about it again

If only MS would start concentrating on top quality original 1st party IP’s instead of paying for exclusives to go multi-plat and paying for timed exclusive content and exclusive DLC, maybe I’d have looked past the one RRoD that convinced me not to put up with shoddy hardware.
Doesn’t it always
We all know MS keeps spending cash for time exclusives, especially DLCs. I just hope they dont get “Joker” for Batman.
Let them get the joker for batman Kirobz, the game has been released, it’ll take time to put it on the 360 even if they did get it, by then the people who wanted it so bad as to buy the PS3 version (the slightly superior version without it) will finally get to play it on their Halo Console of Choice. We don’t need losers that will not buy PS3 games regularly on our gaming servers. When cross game voice chat comes to us, it’ll help not to have too many Xbots.
That’s just IMO though.

Wait, did they actually confirm it would be coming to the Wii and PS3? The reason I ask is because this exclusive track was put in to support a charity. Meaning that song might be pulled all together after that date making it obselete on all consoles.
Second thing I want to mention is that Harmonix and Microsoft are donating the money made by this dlc to a charity. I forgot the charity name, but it had something to do with doctors.
With that said, if we are going chastise MS over the wording of timed exclusive content, we should maybe step back and applaud them for making this exclusive deal. Because even though it is timed exclusive, it was made to support a charity. I am not trying to defend Microsoft here, but this sort of thing I appreciate.
who cares, this game is gonna blow ass anyways
