In an interview with Kotaku late last week, Rock Band developer Harmonix announced that they are actively working on making the colorful, wireless mics bundled with Microsoft's Lips karaoke game compatible with Rock Band 2.


The motion-sensing microphones for karaoke killer, Lips for the Xbox 360, will eventually work with Rock Band 2, Harmonix is saying.

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. More details on timing to come. Harmonix and MTV Games strive for all third-party controllers to work with the Rock Band games, fitting with Harmonix open-platform philosophy for controllers.






That is some great news; although I am almost positive support will never come for the original Rock Band, which I still play! It will be nice to have a nice shiny wireless mic for Rock Band 2, however. Anyway, there's another reason to add Lips to your Christmas list!
