It's a test.
Harmonix wanted to see your determination for The Beatles by releasing a Queen 10 pack on the same day.
That's gotta be Brutal...

That's why I'm buying both day one... (ok, day 3. I'm on the PS3. We get our DLC on Thursdays). Oh, Broketober, how my wallet hates you.

Bingo.
I mean, Queen is priority over everything pretty much, but The Beatles is a damn good challenger. I bought both immediately. You win this round, Harmonix.

I know I am evil... I bought TBRB from Gamestop. I should have resisted, but I am weak. I wanted to get free songs (which they have not sent out the email for. Has anyone else got it?) so I made a deal with the devil...
Now that I have seen the full medley (thanks corporalgregg3 on youtube), I am trying to decide if I should just bite the bullet and buy the whole thing.

Memory limit issues were quoted on the forums as the unofficial reason for the lack of one-song-Medley. Other than that... You can still buy the full album. Just not in a pack... Yes, not as convenient but well... better than nothing I guess.

The Wii has 512 MB of internal storage. My copy of Abbey Road comes in at just shy of 60 MB (encoded at 128 kbps). Therefore a Wii should have enough storage space for it.
There's also the possibility that you really do mean memory (i.e. RAM) in which case the Wii has 88 MB. Still enough to store the entire album at one time in RAM and would likely be enough to also run the game.
Even assuming there is a technical limitation for playing the album straight through, why can't we just give them our money so we can download all of the songs in one go? I'm trying to pay you Harmonix!

Aside from the name recognition of the album's title, I'd wager at least half of Joystiq's audience doesn't know its lesser-known tracks. So what? Why the gibe?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, the name and iconic photo/cover is the only thing about Abbey Road that I'm familiar with. Most of the tracks I will be hearing for the first time via this DLC.
I guess that's what happens when the only Beatles CDs you own are 'Sgt. Pepper' and '1'.

Just like most Beatles songs, I'm willing to bet most of the tracks will be instantly recognizable when you hear them. Whether it's intimately or not, I'm willing to wager that most of the Joystiq audience (none the less everyone else) has heard most if not all of the songs on this album in one way or another. Either way, it's a joke! If such a thing offends you, please accept my apologies.

Most of my favorites Beatles song are already in the game so I'll skip this one for now. It's great support though.

Her Majesty is to short, if they did that, we would see more than 60% of it.

I can seriously watch the videos released for this game all day. I just love looking at it and hearing it. Oh right, playing it is awesome, too. But I like having others play while I sit and watch. I can't say that about many games.

I bought this before I headed to work this morning. I'm really looking forward to this evening...

I think seventeen bucks is overpriced. (Like everything else on the marketplace.) It should be free for gold members, they're already paying in the first place, and come on... Why in God's name do gamer pictures, themes, and avatar clothing cost money?
