The Beatles Store is taking pre-orders for a @279.99 USB apple containing the entire remastered works of the band. According to the site:
This unique, apple-shaped USB drive is loaded with the re-mastered audio for The Bealtes’ 14 stereo titles, as well as all of the re-mastered CDs’ visual elements, including 13 mini-documentary films about the studio albums, replicated original UK art, rare photos and expanded liner notes. A specially designed Flash interface has been installed, and the 16GB USB’s audio and visual contents will be provided in FLAC 44.1 Khz 24 bit and MP3 320 Kbps formats, fully compatible with PC and Mac.
On one hand, this is a really expensive item. On the other, it’s still the frickin’ Beatles! For those of you with three hands, keep in mind that this is a pretty cool collector’s item. I’m happy that both FLAC and MP3 versions are included.
Anyone going to bite the apple bullet and pick this baby up?
Wow this is crazy pricey! Why not $100? I'm sure people have purchased multiple copies of Beatles albums throughout their lifetime. I get that people have to be paid but damn, it's not like the Beatles regular vinyl, tapes, CD, and DVDs don't sell.
I would include games but I'm not sure if this USB "deal" was prior to the Rock Band game.
