Alongisde the release of The Beatles:Rock Band this week, Microsoft is running a few special promotions for a charity of the band’s choosing. The most notable is a set of Limited Edition Xbox 360 consoles that have been customized with art from the opening cinematic for the game. The consoles are currently up for auction on eBay, the proceeds of which will go to Doctors Without Borders, a charity the remaining band members and wives selected.
Microsoft will also be putting the Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love,” up for sale on the Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow. The proceeds from those sales will also go to the band’s selected charity. Purchase of the song will also enter Xbox Live members into a sweepstakes to win one of the Limited Edition consoles.
All in all it seems like a pretty cool promotion. Spend a bunch of money, do alittle good, everyone goes home happy. You can see the full list of rules at Xbox.com.
