360 Wireless Mic Stands Alone This Spring

Microsoft is taking the wireless microphone from their Lips and sending it packing, making its increased game support even more appealing by releasing it on its own this spring.

With support recently introduced for both Guitar Hero: Metallica and Rock Band 2, the wireless microphone double-packed with copies of Microsoft’s karaoke game Lips are rather conveniently little devices, and they’ll be much more convenient this fall, when they are released as standalone products. The fall release has them hitting store shelves just in time for Lips: Number One Hits and The Beatles: Rock Band, both of which will support the wireless device.

Great news for music game lovers, but the price isn’t all that nice. With the current Lips bundled retailing at $US49.99 with two microphones, the standalone product’s $US50 price tag really only means one thing…you should probably run out and buy that Lips bundle.
