You can't buy me love (maybe), but you will be able to buy The Beatles: Rock Band in Australia come 9 September, according to game developer Harmonix.

Like previous Rock Band releases, the game will be sold in a number of differing bundles across the range of current-generation game consoles, and each will attract a different price. The full game kit including a replica bass guitar and drum kit, plus a microphone and stand will retail for AU$369.99 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii.

Game-only packs will also be released, priced at AU$89.99 for Xbox 360 and PS3, and AU$79.99 for the Wii.

The Beatles: Rock Band is the latest in the Rock Band series of rhythm games and will be the first to feature tracks by the Beatles. Players will be able to play from a list of 45 tracks, and can test their singing skills in the new three-part harmony vocal gameplay. Harmonix released the all-but complete track list for the game through the week, announcing the game will include:
