Music games are extremely popular these days as they deliver a great dose of entertainment to the end user but also bring many profit opportunities for the companies involved in making them and for the bands and artists that contribute their tracks.

That is why franchises like Guitar Hero or Rock Band are making a huge amount of money these days. In an effort to further consolidate the popularity of the series, MTV Games and Harmonix have planned The Beatles: Rock Band title for release on September 9.

With more than 45 tracks from the famous band included on the retail disc and many more reserved for DLC after the title will be released in game stores around the world, the title is gathering a lot of hype around it and it will definitely give Guitar Hero 5, which is set to be launched on September 1, a run for its money.
