Are you ready for a Frankenstein product?  Well, last month there were reports of a Beatles Singstar making it’s way to the PS3.  Since then we’ve learned those were just rumors (or rumours for you UK fans ).  So we were given SingStar: Queen instead.  Good game, just hard to match the talents of Freddy Mercury.  Until Now!  The Beatles Rock Band by MTV Games and Harmonix  is coming via SingStar and the image above proves it.  Packaged within the bundles includes 2 wired mics and a copy of The Beatles Rock Band all with the SingStar logo ontop.

Last night during The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, Dhani Harrison was invited to sit and discuss The Beatles: Rock Band with Conan.

During the interview, Dhani said he was the mastermind behind making The Beatles: Rock Band a reality when he accidentally met with MTV president Van Toffler right after MTV had bought Harmonix.  Through their discussion, Van suggested Dhani meet with Harmonix President Alex Rigopulos, which was only the first step to bring their one in a million shot dream into what is being released today, The Beatles: Rock Band.

Of course, since Conan is a talented guitar player, he couldn’t help but try the game out for himself.  The song selection was one I felt to be questionable.  So many popular Beatles songs in the game, and they went with Birthday?

For those of you who had the “Gotta Have It” cards back in 1992, Pepsi has brought that glorious summer feeling back.  Starting June 2nd, if you look under the cap of specially marked Pepsi products, you could win Rock Band 2 merchandise.

As part of the “Drink Up, Rock Out” promotion, fans who see a Rock Band icon on specially-marked packages of 20-ounce and 1-liter bottles of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Max and other Pepsi products are encouraged to look under the cap for a code and then go to www.PepsiRockBand.com to enter the code for a chance to win prizes. During the promotion, MTV and Pepsi will give away a Rock Band(R)2 Special Edition bundle every hour and thousands of Rock Band downloadable tracks each day. Additionally, fans can enter a weekly sweepstakes for opportunities to win a trip to a Harrah’s Entertainment property, Xbox 360 Consoles and other great prizes.

I’ll admit, I had a card.  While I tried collecting enough points to either get a Pepsi bag or some foam insulation drink holder I never cashed in.  That’s the problem with those “earn” gift promotions, very few customers follow through.  But with this promotion, you can instantly win a voucher for Rock Band 2 downloable content vouchers.  Or better yet,  an Xbox 360.  There’ll be far and few of those, and I’m sure none of the staffers here at PerezStart.com will win that prize.  But hey, “Drink Out, Rock Up” err, “Drink Rock, Up Out” I think it’s “Drink Up, Rock Out” with your drink out!

From the developers who brought you, Lego Star Wars I & II, Lego Batman and Lego Indiana Jones comes this new well built LEGO Rock Band!  TT Games will mix in one of the best-selling franchise game with an already successful rhythm based music game to build LEGO Rock Band.  The game will be on nearly every platform; Wii, PS3, X360, and DSi.

You’ll be able to customize your “rocker” as you tour the globe in LEGO fashion rocking out to some tracks along the way.  Players will be able to create their own LEGO Rock Band style as they customize their minifigure avatars, band and entourage, including roadies, managers and crew. LEGO Rock Band will support Rock Band and Guitar Hero instruments.

Right when you think “Beatles coming to Rock Band” is a great idea for all the hippy soccer moms, news breaks out that harmonizing within the game may be possible.  In May’s issue of Game Informer, a rumor suggesting that multiple microphones will be used to sing along with the Fab Four.  This opens the game to a whole new level.  Especially for those who prefer belting out a tune, when clearly they should be belted.

When we found out this past February that Rock Band was making it’s way to the PSP, I was excited because now I could finally rock out with my **** out in public without ending up in jail for public indecency! It looks like I’m one step closer to that dream now that we’ve got a release date for Rock Band Unplugged. If you’re like me and have been dying to take your show on the road, then make sure to mark June 9th as Rock Band Unplugged Liberation Day!

Rock Band Unplugged will have a total of 40 songs, 9 of which will be exclusive to the game before being offered as DLC to its respective console counterparts. Rock Band Unplugged will also include a full in-game store where players can download even more tasty tracks.

The thing that gets me most excited about Rock Band Unplugged is it looks like the gameplay will be similar to the PS2 classic, Frequency. I spent many a night playing Garbage’s Cherry Lips to a point where I could knock out the notes without even looking at the screen.

For the full press release including the 9 exclusive tracks, be sure to hit the break.

According to this Time Line that was supposed to be presented at the GDC last week, a slide revealing a little more than intended was discovered. Lego Rock Band may be making it’s debut after all. According to the Time Line, We should see LEGO Rock Band before “Beatles: 09/09/09″. This slide was among a batch that was sent for “speech approval” by Harmonix senior designer Dan Teasdale for his GDC presentation, “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap: Design Lessons Learned From Rock Band,” but never shown.

Traveller’s Tales is the studio responsible for recent Lego video games based on the Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Batman franchises. EA currently handles distribution for the Rock Band series.
