Wii coming to Rock Band, Rock Band Premium Microphone not coming to Wii

We're chalking this up to mixed PR signals, but a spokesperson for PDP -- makers of that Rock Band Premium Microphone we caught the other day sporting a Wii logo -- just let us know it was an accident, and that the mic isn't compatible with the Wii after all. Of course, the only reason we cared is that the logo signaled the arrival of Rock Band on the Wii -- which we now know is happening anyway -- so the only people disappointed here should be those of you who wanted to experience Wii Rock Band with "premium" third-party accessories. So... too bad for three of you. We regret your loss. Now if you'll excuse us, we have to get back to mastering the drums on "Tom Sawyer."

I'm not much of a Rock Band Fan, but I hope they make it available sometime for the wii fans.

Wii coming to Rock Band?

Umm... Rock Band coming to Wii?

I'm confused.

@Ignatius:

You're right. It should be "Rock Band coming to Will", not "Wii coming to Rock Band"

[AJ in the East Bay @ Feb 1st 2008 11:32PM]

I meant "Wii", not "Will" LOL!

Nice. Finally my cousins can quit complaining about how I am taking up all the Wii. Punk... Can't even do Dragonforce on easy.

Dude! That sucks! I bought this microphone over the generic one "for my wife" because the package said "for use on PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii."

Tom Sawyer--I tried it out at Best Buy, and aside from the fact that one or two of the pads were broken, I have to say I was a little disappointed that I sucked at playing it on Rock Band when I have no trouble playing the real thing on real drums.... :(
