Beatles plan new 'delivery system'
The Beatles are reportedly looking at releasing their back catalogue through their own website.

The group's surviving bandmembers, Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and the estates of the late John Lennon and George Harrison, were negotiating with Apple about an iTunes release.

However, Harrison's son Dhani told Blender that the offer is not satisfactory and the group may go elsewhere.

"We're losing money every day. So what do you do? You have to have your own delivery system, or you have to do a good deal with Steve Jobs," he said.

"But he says that a download is worth 99 cents, and we disagree."

Meanwhile, the Beatles edition of the Rock Band video game has been given a September 9 release date.
