The yellow submarine is headed worldwide on September 9, as Harmonix today announced the release date for The Beatles: Rock Band, ending months of speculation and silence.

To hit stories for PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii, the game will offer 45 songs from the legendary band’s catalog, taken from their 1962-69 discography, beginning with “Please Please Me” – the band’s first album – and ending with “Abbey Road”.

Controllers packed in with the game will be modeled after actual Beatles instruments, with a bundle going for $249.99. Guitars and the game itself can also be bought individually.

As expected, it will be compatible with all Rock Band instruments as well as other music-based game peripherals.
