The Xbox 360 version of Rock Band’s The Beatles will have exclusive DLC! One whole fucking song!!! The song is All You Need Is Love.

The second of Rockstar’s Xbox 360 exclusive DLC will be titled The Ballad Of Gay Tony. You will not be playing Gay Tony however, because Rockstar isn’t daring enough to have you play a gay lead character, you will play as his underling Luis Lopez. This release will not be limited to download only however, Rockstar will be releasing The Ballad Of Gay Tony on disc along with The Lost And The Damned DLC on the same disc for 39.99, and you will not need to own the horribly dissapointing Grand Theft Auto IV to play it!

The demo is 1.27GB

XBLM Description: Race three exotic cars and two beauteous bikes through the streets of Macau and a snow laden Nürburgring. Includes an exclusive Nürburgring Snow Challenge and unique PGR Arcade Events.
