Rumors of The Beatles Coming to iTunes Renewed Yet Again

[nalaknip]

Who cares. The Beatles are a poor man's E.L.O.

A blogger took this screenshot yesterday which seems to show The Beatles available to pre-order. It's not there on the UK site now, and no indication if it is real or fake:

I'd like to think real, but it could be fake - that lettering above the Fab Four seems a bit stretched for my liking.

Considering Amazon starts selling the CD's on the 9th I don't see how iTunes could have a "Pre-Order" for them in iTunes since the music event is on the same day Amazon starts selling them.

Possible that they will be available digitally but only after they have some time to sell the CDs. <shrug>

Were I marketing it, I would do that.

That's a possibility but if it were true I don't see why iTunes wouldn't already have a "Pre-Order" considering Amazon's had theirs for over a month now.

Everyone knows the CDs are due out on 9/9. Nothing about digital downloads has been announced. Apple may announce their availability on 9/9 but with a release in the future.

Makes sense. Maybe with a release in October or something, after the initial Rock Band furore has died down a bit.

It won't happen this year. They aren't even trying to resume talks for now. If we get to Labor Day next year with nothing announced for the Beatles that Fall, then maybe.
