John, Paul, George and Ringo aren't even available on iTunes yet, but according to reports EA's is about to get a huge boost, circling that MTV, and will shortly confirm a deal with Corp that will see the band's tracks entering the game.

An "unprecedented global music project" was mooted in an email sent out by late last night, and reported by the Wall Street Journal, with a full unveiling apparently planned for this afternoon, confirming the relationship with Apple Corp.

The extent of the deal remains unclear, but EA are holding a sizable Rock Band PR event in London today, at which we'll hopefully learn more.

The tracks set for Rock Band? We certainly hope so.
