GEORGE HARRISON’s son DHANI it taking the credit for the new THE BEATLES: ROCK BAND video game - revealing he convinced the surviving bandmembers to agree to the project.
Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are notoriously reluctant to allow their music to be used for commercial endeavours, but were won over by a mock-up Harrison Jr. put together using his dad’s solo music.
McCartney, Starr and John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono gave the concept the thumbs up - and Dhani has landed a job helping to develop the game alongside Giles Martin, the son of the band’s longtime producer Sir George Martin.
The game will hit stores around the world in September (09), and will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii.
It will come with a limited number of instruments that are modelled after guitars, basses and drums used by Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr.
And Harrison, 30, promises fans a treat. He tells Blender magazine, "The game blows my mind. It’s infinitely better than Rock Band 2."

Supermodel ADRIANA LIMA’s basketball star husband has been cleared of sexually assaulting a woman.
Memphis Grizzlies player Marko Jaric, 30, was under investigation amid claims he assaulted a woman in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania last weekend (7-8Mar09), reports Sports Illustrated.
Jaric, who married catwalk star Lima last month (Feb09), insists the accusations are "100 per cent false".
And his spokesperson reveals no charges will be filed.
The representative tells TMZ.com, "I received official word from the Philadelphia District Attorneys office that after a thorough investigation no charges will be filed against my client, Marko Jaric, in connection with the alleged incident with an unnamed female on February 11, 2009 while his team was in town to play the (Philadelphia) 76ers.
"Persons in Marko’s position are often the target of malicious statements and it is not unusual for the police to be asked to investigate. However, these allegations were proved to be completely false, and while Marko is extremely unsettled by these accusations, he is happy that the law enforcement authorities have cleared him of any criminal conduct and the issue can now be put to rest."
