Who gets to be Ringo?

You must admit you've had fantasies of being a Beatle.

The Beatles - Rock Band has been announced through it's publisher, MTV. While the link is to what boils down to a press release, the concept of "Rock Band" and "The Beatles" should not be too abstract for you to grasp: you play plastic instruments to the tune of Beatles songs in what is likely to be a dorm or basement setting with a group of friends, gathering Star Power, wailing out solos and possibly smashing your expensive toy guitar peripheral through your TV after achieving 100% on "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

Important stuff:
"Available on 9/9/09:

• The Beatles: Rock Band Software - Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3, Wii: $59.99 MSRP
• The Beatles: Rock Band Standalone Guitars - Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3, Wii: $99.99 MSRP
• The Beatles: Rock Band Limited Edition Premium Bundle: Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3, Wii: $249.99 MSRP"

To be fair, I'll buy ten if there's an unlockable Blue Meanie character skin.
