Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are at the Microsoft press conference

by Justin McElroy { Jun 1st 2009 at 1:46PM }

Hey, we'd heard rumors, but it's official, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are at Microsoft's press briefing. The remaining Beatles seemed a little unmoved by the experience, with Ringo saying "The graphics are very good, and we were great." And Sir Paul adding "We love the game. Who'd have ever thought we'd end up as androids."

We don't know how you feel, but those of us who decided against going to the conference are totally kicking ourselves.

Too bad the talented ones couldn't be there.

I think Wings was just as good as The Beatles, really.

(JOKING!)

Why would game bloggers NOT go to a Microsoft conference? Does your mac fanboyness cut that deep? I'd think that gamer bloggers would also be PC users - since thats the format that computer games are made for. FIRE YOUR BLOGGERS AND HIRE REAL NERDS!

Did you see the Macs in their war room pics?

I'm pretty positive Sir Paul won't consider this the highest moment of his career.

George and John, they are rock gods without the plastic-music fad's intrusion.

Ringo...he's just happy people remember his is alive.

I would have rather been there last year for The Who

james @ Jun 1st 2009 2:39PM

after watching the video it looks like they couldn't give 2 shits about the game.

Wonder if ringo is hammered. I think he has been drunk since they broke up.

Storm Eagle @ Jun 1st 2009 3:31PM

That was easily the most embarassing moment of the whole presentation. God bless the Beatles, but someone really should've given them something to say. They just stood there and rambled. If that was what the extra 5 mins was for....what a waste.

Linkario @ Jun 1st 2009 7:32PM

So I was right... Ringo WAS hammered.

"Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are at Microsoft's press briefing. The remaining Beatles seemed a little unmoved by the experience." ... wow, is that really the proper way to phrase this sentence?
