RB2 to support wireless SingStar mics News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PlayStation 3

Update due on Thursday.

Rock Band 2 will be updated on Thursday to support wireless SingStar microphones, which means power-crouches and dazzling spins are back on the menu.

The update also brings various other improvements, better chord hammer-ons/pull-offs and Rock Band Network support for when the feature finally goes live - stay tuned for more on that, writes lead designer Dan Teasdale on the European PlayStation blog.

Ion drum kits will also support velocity sensitivity in both drum fills and Drum Freestyle, plus there's finally a sort-by-stars option for Quickplay, which does what you'd expect.

I don't get it, I've been using the sort by stars option for quite some time now.

@Dr.Mott - This is the PS3 patch. 360 was patched back in November with Lips mic support.

Only 4 months later than the one for the 360 version!

(Sorry if I spoilt the party)

Yes the mics have worked but not well. The singstar wireless mics lacked any kind of adjustment in RB2. If they were set to full sensitivity and volume they worked but a notch or two below resulted in no sound. It looks like Harmonix has them properly supported now and they adjust and work just like the wired mics.
