The limited edition will include a copy of the game, a Höfner Bass controller inspired by one Paul McCartney's instruments, Ludwig-branded Rock Band drums, and a microphone with a stand. The drums will feature a classic pearl finish, a metal kick pedal, and a vintage replica drumhead.
Details on modes and songs have yet to be released. The title is set to be released on all consoles September 9.
Hmm, this seems like a standard Rock Band release in terms of instruments. Why is it so expensive then?

brand names, they make everything more expensive.
I love the Beatles music but i'm not this much of a diehard fan to go for the bundle. I have all my GH:WT instruments and an old broken mic stand from my days in a real rock band, so i'm good on that front.

That is IF the instruments are compatible with the game.
Yeah, I was about to say that brand name probably raised the game' price. The Beatles are an institution so its likely they demand a pretty hefty fee.

Overpriced. Also weird that the bundle has a bass instead of a guitar (though of course it could be used for either part, thanks to the magic of video games).
MTV Games can kiss my ass if they think I will pay $250 for a music game regardless of who is in it. Hell, the CURRENT Rock Band and Guitar Hero bundles are over-priced and those feature bands I actually like.
I don't think Lennon or Harrison had custom guitars, McCartney made his bass pretty famous though.

The Hofner was not custom-made for Paul, but he definitely made it famous. However, I think his best bass playing BY FAR was on the albums where he used a Rickenbacker, from Revolver through Abbey Road.
This brings up a good point, exactly who is target audience of this LE bundle? Most die-hard Beatles fans are of an older audience and likely don't own a video game console.

Wasn't that the concern for the Wii? Older audiences supposedly do own videogame consoles now.
MTV Games has been a lot more conservative but Activision quite clearly has the delusion that everyone is going to drop a few hundred bucks EVERY SINGLE time. Uh, not likely. I'm buying this if it's compatible with my GH instruments. If it's not? Then I'm not buying it.
Halo 3 made a joke out of the Collectors Edition idea. The Collectors/Limited/Legendary editions were just as common as the regular edition. If there is not regular edition of the game package, then it's not really a limited edition unless they do something like mop said and only manufacture a few copies.
