It's true they never said it (the microphones) would work with rock band. Though IGN or Joystiq reported in an interview that Lips developers thought the Idea would be "Cool") Unfortunately, that is what I'd be using them for since the game shipped without full Zune(Purchased music) support.

Pirating is dumb. It's just easy stealing. I don't see what pirating had to do with what I originally wrote.]]>Dec 7th 2008 6:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/Dec 6th 2008 7:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/
Oh and making them work with a really popular series is an absolutely horrible idea. How dare they...]]>Dec 6th 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/Dec 6th 2008 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/
I have 2 and love them.........all except for the fact I cant plug it up via USB to my car radio/cd receiver.....or any other mp3 capable via usb device.......I hope they release an update in the future that allows it to show up as a "mass storage device" so files can be read from it..........

at any rate.......Lips is Microsofts answer to Sony's SingStar.......and while SingStar is good Lips best feature is that it can pull tracks from any mp3 player......aside from that I dont know if its worth the hype.......but the Zune is.....one thing to know about M$ as much as I hate to admit it........when they are the underdog in something they learn from their initial entry into a domain(the first Xbox showed them what to do with the 360 in terms of how to get developers and consumers on board quickly) so now that we are on the 3 gen Zunes and they have slowly cut away at the iPods dominance just a little it may be another 3-5 years b4 the Zune can actually do damage to Apple as far as market share goes

at any rate enough going off on a tangent.......to say only 3 people own Zunes is just dumb.....]]>Dec 6th 2008 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/
Windows - Stolen from Mac OS X
XBOX - Stolen from Playstation
Zune - Stolen from iPod
Windows Live Search - Stolen from Google

Microsoft should just give up...That clown Ballmer won't last another 5 years..

Why hasn't Microsoft released this time machine it's got then?]]>Dec 6th 2008 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/

I wonder where these people get this knack for believing "Microsoft copies everybody" all the time. ]]>Dec 6th 2008 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/
Love him or hate him (I am personally not a fan), the biggest name of the past year owns and uses one. With all the fans he has who will do whatever he says without question, I can see a uptick in the number of Zune sales:

A company makes the only product in a field= monopoly.

Common denominator in this anti-logic? The company being accused is always Microsoft.

I'm not a huge fan of a lot of Microsoft's stuff, but this double standard is ridiculous. ]]>Dec 6th 2008 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/Dec 6th 2008 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/Dec 6th 2008 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/Dec 6th 2008 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/Dec 6th 2008 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/lots of new features:

The whole reaction by the Blogosphere about Obama and Zunegate has me somewhat pissed as well. ]]>Dec 6th 2008 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/06/lips-patch-brings-microphone-compatibility-to-rock-band/
What I'm REALLY waiting for is a wireless Rock Band mic that has a D Pad and Buttons on it (like the current Mad Catz one), it gets annoying when you're the singer and you have to always put the mic down and pick up a controller to do anything.]]>Dec 6th 2008 2:28PM
