“The Beatles challenged us to change our taste, our perspective and open our eyes to the world around us.

A very special edition Xbox 360 console professionally customized to honor the Fab Four is being auctioned for charity with proceeds benefiting Doctors Without Borders. This console is numbered and hand-painted with illustrations from the eye-popping intro cinematic for “The Beatles: Rock Band.” The cinematic was created by Harmonix with the Oscar winning film and animation company Passion Pictures, best known for its ground breaking animation for the hit band Gorillaz.
Doctors Without Borders is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971 working in more than 60 countries to assist people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe.
