Looks like you can finally buy The Beatles songs on iTunes.
I even saw The Beatles box set with all their songs, but it's not cheap.

Apple Recordings and Apple Computers finally settled their differences then? Apple screwed Apple Recordings over when their went back on their promise never to go into the music industry.

This.

You guyz now why it wasn't there right? The Beatles is labeled by Apple Corp. and they had some arguments over the name Apple..

They had an agreement. Apple computers were allowed to use the name "Apple" on the condition that they stay away from music publishing. And then came iTunes...

I can easily name a dozen places (although not on this site) you could already download the Beatles entire discography before today. The sudden opportunity to do this at your own expense further lining Apple's already over-burdened pockets isn't newsworthy at all.

I hate Apple for trying to make a sensation out of everything.

It's just a thing between the two companies. You could already buy or download their music at millions of other places. So what's the big deal?

this news is too little, way too late. not nearly the shocker that apple made it out to be.

and for the person about the album art, you could have gotten it a long time ago from the beatles' own website.

i'll stick to my v0 ripped remastered box set.

I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but I don't see all the hype about them on iTunes. -_-
Serious fan buy the real thing, not some digital delivery stuff (and in the case, would probably just get the mp3 from somewhere).

/me is waiting for real new Apple stuff

Yeah, except Apple isn't a publishing company, they are a distributor of music which they do through the record labels just like a record store sells CD's with the permission of the record labels via their distributors. There is no difference between iTunes selling music digitally then going to a store to buy music aside from one is a hard copy and the other isn't

Sales wise so far despite the media attention its not going down as well as predicted.

When this was rumoured a couple of years go there was talk of The Beatles pretty much owning the Top 40 singles chart when their stuff hit iTunes, of course this was before all the remastered re-releases that people ate up last year.

So far "Here Comes the Sun" is the only Beatles song that has made the iTunes top 20 and so far no song is in the midweek sales for the proper top 40.

Of course either way the two living Beatles and the wives of the Lennon and Harrison are gonna be earning more money for very little work, shit I wish I owned even minor one song off Please Please Me.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
