Was there some level of competition between Activision and Harmonix and MTV Games for The Beatles?

Josh Randall: I don’t know. I don’t actually know. [laughs]

The way it came about was actually that years ago, we had dreamed about making this game, but then it wasn’t [in the works] until [we realized] Dhani Harrison was a huge fan of our game. He met with us, and then met with Apple Corps, and basically introduced us. And then from there, he sort of gave us the connections to get things going. That’s how it went down.

It’s funny; because you’re using the standard Rock Band instrument lineup, not counting the mics, you can’t actually reproduce The Beatles’ configuration.
