Harmonix has confirmed to Joystiq that the
Lips (or Microsoft Wireless) Microphone will be compatible with
The Beatles: Rock Band at launch, but that a patch for the peripheral to work with
Rock Band 2 will be "coming soon." We sought clarification after a post on
GameFaqs, allegedly quoting EA warranty support, implied that the patch for
Rock Band would occur this week.
The
Lips mic patch for
Rock Band has been in the pipe since
last year, with a release window announced a couple months back for
this summer, which we now know will occur after (not
with) the release of
The Beatles: Rock Band this Wednesday.
