Rumor: Lips is MS's response to Singstar? Posted by XanTium | June 15 23:15 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From xbox360fanboy.com: [QUOTE] While the "Lips" rumor has been circulating the tubes for some time now it was never really known exactly what the thing was. A game? A peripheral? A female fashion accessory? We just weren't sure. Now with Microsoft leaking like a sieve there are finally some details on the project. Apparently Lips is the codename for a karaoke game that uses a specialized microphone with built-in lights and a limited motion detector. To go with the pair of mics that are included in the default package, the game itself will have 30 songs right out of the box and features the ability to import music from a CD or Ipod to sing along with. To help with that, the game somehow reduces the vocals of the imported songs, and includes a way to place the lyrics of the songs on-screen a la "normal" karaoke.

That sounds pretty sweet. I somehow have to doubt this is entirely accurate. If it was they would have said Zune instead of iPod.

why would they have to say zune? the article isnt direct from microsoft and the ipod is the most popular mp3 player and completely works with the 360. so why does it take away any credibility?

Well it had to of been leaked from microsoft and im sure an ms rep wouldn't say it works with your ipod. And no the iPod does not completely work with 360. I have been told the newer versions are incompatible with the 360 though this may have been fixed, I am not sure.

i havnt heard of any problems with the ipod at all as they are 'officially' supported, the only problems ive seen is playing video off them.

if a MS representative had said this, then it either wouldn't be a rumor or that person would be fired for mis-conduct. if this is true, it would of been leaked from a developer or someone close to the developing company

The newer firmware versions wont let you connect the ipod to the xbox. It's because the new firmwares dont allow disk mode anymore (which is why when you plug it into the computer it wont show up in 'my computer'...it only shows up in iTunes)
