Kotaku has details on the upcoming Limited Edition Premium Beatles RockBand Bundle.
Dubbed the Limited Edition Premium Bundle, it includes The Beatles: Rock Band game; a Höfner Bass controller, Beatlesque and Ludwig-branded Rock Band drums with classic pearl finish, a metal kick pedal and a vintage replica drumhead; plus a microphone with stand and, according to an email from retailer GameStop, “additional special content.”
We’re hoping that “additional special content” means “mop-top wigs”.
The Beatles: Rock Band is available September 9 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii and priced at US$250.

Before Street Fighter IV’s release Capcom made a special training manual available to the press as a forum of advertisement. Today Capcom has made it available as a PDF (download as zip).
