Lips microphone support headed to Rock Band
From day one, the nifty (and wireless) light up microphones for Lips have just been screaming for Rock Band 2 support. Or, more to the point, we were screaming into the microphones hoping the folks at Harmonix would heed our call. Looks like everyone out their can rest their weary vocal chords, because Microsoft and MTV Games have announced that Rock Band support for the Lips microphone is on the way. Mutliplayer reports a joint email statement, in which the two companies said, "Microsoft and MTV Games are working together to ensure that consumers will be able to use the wireless mics from Lips with Rock Band 2 after launch." No specific date is mentioned, but here's hoping the support arrives sooner rather than later.

Doh! Ignore that - 1password isn't always a good thing :)
They should have a feature where it recognizes a shake as pressing "A" so you don't have to have the controller handy...

Really, Richard? Really?

good move since I won't buy if it's not compatible with RB2.

Yeah. That makes daddy happy.

Well that was cool of them.

If Lips had sold well, we probably would not have seen this development so soon.

Nice one! Just got GH:3 with the guitar for 30 bucks and the rockband drums for 50. Still have a coupon that gets me lips for 25, yey! Compared to the 150 € they charge for the rockband instrument bundle over here ... nice!

I'll buy the game the day this patch comes out.

That's great news. The Lips mics are awesome and I can't wait to start using them with Rock Band.
Now if only ACTIVISION would do the same for GHWT.... ahem.... .... ACTIVISION?.....

Meaning I could soon play an all-wireless version of Rock Band 2? Schveeeeet!

Any idea when this is coming out? It's been a few months and I love these microphones. Would really like to use them in Rock Band 2. I'm getting tired of waiting.
