Game Makers in Talks for Beatles Catalog
As the music world continues to wait for the Beatles to bring their iconic catalog to iTunes for digital sale, talks reportedly are under way that may see the Fab Four’s music included in video games first.
According to a report in the Financial Times, representatives for the Beatles are in discussions with the creators of the “Rock Band” and “Guitar Hero” music video games.
Both games allow users to download and play new music on a regular basis, though tracks bought for the game can’t be transferred to a portable MP3 player or computer.
The Beatles catalog at this point is considered the Holy Grail of digital licensing, given the group’s unwillingness thus far to make the catalog available in any digital retail format.
