don't know how long they'll last - especially in rock band where you have to hit the mic for tamborine etc LoL. total blast.Īnyway, fo rcheap and to get good scores the intec mics are great. but I'm keeping at least one of them anyway, for games like karaoke revolution (which is REALLY FUN, the judging part is great!) that support true duets with correct parts and harmonies, having two mics on separate usb inputs is a requirement and makes the game super fun for my wife and me (she's a real singer and I'm a session musician).

so compared to that deal the cheap mics were a ripoff. for hte money spent ($40 for two of these total) I can't complain.īut then I just bought the entire set of rockband instruments for the wii from a clearance outlet for $40, that's the strat, the drums, the logitec mic, the usb hub (a working one!), drum sticks, wireless guitar hub, batteries, everything except the game disc. they're white, have long cables, the mic themselves have a (wrongly wired) xlr connector, and the usb connector has a dual 1/8" mic input jack so you can add a second mic of your own choice into the same input if you ever want to (although it'll show up as the same mic, the game won't be aware of a second mic). OH I remember now, intec I think is the make. I wish I could remember the make - I'm at work.

they totally suck for sound quality if you actually turn up the sound of your voice in the game while you sing (dark muddy noisy crap, hardly audible), but for tracking your voice to get good scores they're just as good from my personal experience as the official logitec rock band mic (which I also now own). Guitar Hero: World Tour is also expected to go on the road this fall for the Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Wii, and PC.I can't recall the name, but I bought two cheapo Wii Microphones from blockbuster's clearance bin a week ago and they work in everything. Konami's Rock Revolution is slated to arrive on the Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo's Wii and DS this fall. Rock Band 2 is expected to arrive for the Xbox 360 in September, with the PS3, Wii, and PlayStation 2 editions arriving later in the year.

Unfortunately, the publisher has yet to finagle compatibility between current-generation Guitar Hero and Rock Band games, though Shorrock did say that "we hope to have an announcement on that shortly." Shorrock also noted that World Tour and Rock Band 2 microphones will be compatible with the publisher's own SingStar karaoke game.

"For the most part, this means that the titles with musical peripherals will work with the other's software."Įxplicitly laying out what the compatibility measures mean to gamers, Shorrock said that the guitar and drum-kit peripherals from World Tour, Rock Band 2, and Rock Revolution will all be interchangeable. "For the past several months, we have been working closely with Neversoft and Activision, Harmonix, and Konami to ensure that PlayStation 3 guitars and drum sets will all feature a basic level of gameplay compatibility," said SCEA director of publisher relations Michael Shorrock via Sony's PlayStation Blog.
Singstar microphone compatibility ps3#
Today, that announcement has come, and Sony has revealed that PS3 gamers will be extended the same compatibility courtesy for not just Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour, but also Rock Revolution and SingStar. Activision Blizzard technically wasn't even party to this year's E3 Media & Business Summit, but the publisher still managed to make waves at the show with the shock announcement that the Xbox 360 edition of Guitar Hero: World Tour would support peripherals developed for archrival Rock Band 2.Īt the time, Neversoft director Brian Bright said that the concession applied only to the Xbox 360 edition of the games, but teased that a similar arrangement was being sorted for the PlayStation 3 versions.
