Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black - so i guess i have to go buy the White album again
To all,
I maybe in my 20's but I like some of the beatles stuff, and yes Im british.
All the comments here wont make a single difference to what goes on in the public eye. People will still buy them all, even if they have the CD's because they wont want the hassle of transfering them from CD to Ipod!
Also I notice a huge majority of people who say 'BORING' and all that stuff, if your bored go and do something else and not complaining about how hyped up this press release and stuff was!!!

There wasn't even a press release, just a graphic on their Web site.
Spot on. I don't know why people are getting angry, getting their knickers in a twist, complaining, moaning or whatever.
Just let it be. It's a bit of fun marketing after long and hard negotiations from both sides. Especially on Apple's part to include a huge and successful band in their catalogue.
There are people who work for Apple that are human you know. It isn't just the Steve Jobs machine grinding away here. Fair enough if it's disappointing for most of you, but maybe Apple having a quiet marketing time here before the Christmas holidays appears.
Be happy people!
Perhaps you should decide what to care about on your own and not leave it to the Internet and media outlets. If people had done that, a lot of people would a lot less grumpy on here today.
That would be me. It wan't an issue until my turntable crapped out. I own all the LP's. I only bought two CD's. The day I have been waiting for is finally here. I guess all the 20 year old tech heads could care less though!
If all they did was replace a graphic on their page, it would not have constituted a lote of hype.
Saying today is a day we'll never forget, that's a lot of hype, and there is no way to claim that it is not. A day we'll never for get might be the first flying car hitting the showroom floor, cold fusion being discovered, Apple equiping their machines with the latest technology
, but not selling music that could be purchased at Best Buy and imported into Itunes.There are many days that people will never forget, this is not one of them.
Wow. words escape me. So you admit that you steal, akin to shoplifting essentially. You have no moral fiber. And you have just announced online that you are about as trustworthy as what gets stuck to the bottom of my shoe.
Someone hand this guy a nobel prize.
Bigger than ever at making lousy products/software. Their QA has died the last few years. It no longer exists.
ok the beatles are great but that does not warrant a hyperbolic special like apple did. i also do not like this "exclusivity" very much but so what.
this is not a big issue in itself but apple should be careful not to overuse their power to get media attention or they run the risk to not get media attention when it is warranted and when they actually need it.

I know, just pointing out that all this hype is down to the users of this forum and not apples.

Cant believe so many people are posting their superior opinions on this site.
1.If you are so disappointed, get a life. It, (your life) should not depend on apple releasing new stuff.
2. It's simply called advertising. The Beatles.com released the same info at the same time. My simplest guess would be that it was part of the deal that Apple make a big announcement. Apple Corp wants to sell as many songs as they can. If it was not for Aspinal, this deal would have been struck ages ago.
3. For all those of you who state.. old music, who cares, garbage, there are new Beatles fans coming to age every year. This is why the Beatles have consistently sold records and discs and tapes and video and DVDs for the past 40 years. Some of todays most popular artists dont even sell as many songs (in iTunes speak) as the Beatles do every year.

It's very inspirational TBH
Instead of being mindless like many others are here I actually see this whole thing as a positive. Honestly anyone that has their own business will see this as inspirational. Anyone who's followed Apple over the years knows their ordeal with the Beatles. McCartney and company have flat out refused to allow Beatles albums on iTunes regardless of how big iTunes had become. For Steve Jobs to finally pull this off just shows me that he will stop at nothing, not allow negatives to stop him and will climb any wall no matter how high to accomplish his goals. For him to finally pull this off says what an amazing business man he is. I have my own business and I can only dream at this point to accomplish what he has accomplished. One man did it all. Can any of you naysayers here say you've accomplished what he has? NO, otherwise you wouldn't be spewing nonsense about how your life was wasted over some "lame" announcement.

Having downloaded a number of their tunes this morning and being blown away by how good they sound just blasting out from my laptop, it makes sense.
THE BIGGEST FRIGGIN' YAWN EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys, check it out, grandpa's music has been digitized! Yay!
Give me a break. How out of touch can Apple be?
What's next? An unforgettable day where Apple announces new elevators at HQ???
Geez.

I'm not grumpy, just don't see any thing in this announcement. All this says to me is go steal their work. Pricing here is just wrong.
My guess is this was a day for mister Jobs to never forget, he won the battle and got the deal, good for him, but a day you'll never forget, i think that only counts for Mr Jobs and not anyone else.
And it still all is lousy quality, like all content from itunes, accept apps.
Multicore supported Final cut studio 3 would have had a much bigger impact then this i think, but i'm sure that is coming too ;-).

In the last few years? You must be new to Apple.
hehehe... been using Apple gear since the LCIII
Still selling
To those moaning about this not being important and 'too late' as everyone has their albums....
Why are there 5 Beatles albums in the iTunes top 20 already, less than 3 hours after going on sale (US Store)?
I expect by the end of this week, they'll all be in the Top 20, with a fair few in the Top 10.
