Harmonix and Electronic Arts today revealed the first details surrounding The Beatles: Rock Band Limited Edition Premium Bundle.

This will include:

  • 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

In addition to the previously announced retail price of US$249.99 in North America, The Beatles: Rock Band Limited Edition Premium Bundle will retail in continental Europe for €199.00 and for £179.00 in the UK. This would seem to place any potential New Zealand retail price around the NZ$450-500 mark, although this has not been confirmed at this time.

North American and European fans who pre-order any version of the game will be eligible to join the The Beatles: Rock Band Pre-Order Club and receive breaking news and access to exclusive game elements including art and behind-the-scenes footage directly from MTV Games and Harmonix. New material will be released regularly starting in May and leading up to the game’s launch on 9/9/09.

The game will be compatible with all Rock Band instrument controllers, as well as most Guitar Hero and other third party music video game peripherals and microphones. For more information, check out the official site.
