Rockband’s latest installment, The Beatles, comes out today and the hype for this game is insane. This is probably the most hyped game since Halo 3 came out. Conan O’Brien was playing the game. Then Jimmy Fallon had a race using the big ass Rockband boxes. It was pretty funny to see the winner get a big plastic container with all the musical instruments.
So I was thinking Rock Band must be in cohoots with NBC because it’s promoting the game like crazy. I was wrong. I turned to channel 7 for local news and they also mentioned the game. Then I remember that ABC also did a feature report on Prime Time news about Beatles mania and they showed the game as well. I’m really surprised about the hype because it didn’t build up a couple of months prior to its release, like Halo 3 did. Beatles hype started last week and it seems like it’s going to be one of the bestsellers of 2009. It seems like the media really loves the Beatles.
Yes, even I want to buy the game and I don’t like to sing and ‘Hey Jude’ isn’t even in the game. If you guys know where I can buy used Rock Band accessories for cheap, please let me know. I don’t want to spend $130 for the brand new ones.
