Considering that MTV Games is half the power behind the Beatles edition of Rock Band, one might think the special would air on MTV. But they’re sure to include at least one song clip in the half-hour special, and that would result in actual music being played on MTV. We can’t have that! So the special has been shuffled off to VH1, is also owned by MTV’s parent company, Viacom.

The special, which is set to include interviews and behind-the-scenes footage from production, will premiere November 27th on VH1 Classic at 7:30 PM ET/PT, and will likely air many times after that.

How does $3500 sound for the price of a swanky 360? Sure, it’s a little high (and will probably go higher), but just look! If you feel like dropping thousands of bones on Ebay, you might be able to nab the above Xbox! If, however, you don’t have several hundred dollars to blow on a console, you can take your chances in the drawing for the other rare ‘box. All you have to do is download “All You Need is Love” for the Beatles Rock Band game and you’ll be entered!

Or you can wait until after the drawing’s over, and check to see if the drawing-console turns up on Ebay. It probably will.

All of the proceeds from the promotion are being donated to Doctors Without Borders, so at least it’s all for a good cause.

The Let it Bii shirt is 20 bucks from Nerdy Shirts features Nintendo “Mii” avatars designed to look like John, Paul, Ringo and George. Very clever, indeed.
