RB2 to support wireless SingStar mics

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.
