Throw me in the "I would buy just for the wireless mic if only it worked with Rock Band" pile.
From what you guys are saying, they will make a fair few more sales by patching the game to go with Rock Band. They need to do that as soon as possible.
It's a shame they have no lyrics for uploaded songs, though I understand it would be really difficult to do. Maybe they should have included an edit mode, so you could edit the words into songs?

I'm still not seeing how this game is a huge step up over Singstar based off the OP. Also, what I really love in Singstar is the party competition mode and it doesn't sound like the multiplayer stuff is anywhere near up to that level where you have teams of four competing.

I'm up for this. I played SingStar for 12 hours for a charity thing and have gained a new appreciation for singing games. That fact this comes from the Gitaroo Man people only sweetens the deal.

Are there impressions of the final version of the game? I like my singing games like Harmonix make them, and I'd love a scrolling text option.

I'm really tempted to get this.
Depending on reviews, videos, and what other Gaffer's think is what will push me over the edge.
I really don't care if the mics work/don't work in Rock Band as I don't play it often enough. Though, it would be really nice for the Lips mics to be the only mic I have, especially since they are wireless.
Also, I read somewhere (perhaps Kotaku?) that a future patch might enable some sort of lyrics support for your own music. It would be nice to get a solid answer from MS on this issue, perhaps after release this week... Even at the stage it's at, I like what I see, much more than Singstar, which I was debating getting for a while (it seemed lacking in innovation after I saw Lips).

I'd be all over this if the mics worked with Rock Band 2. Those things look hot as hell.

Wow I kind of really want this. Just making sure: they say music you've bought through Zune marketplace works, so music you get through the Zune Pass counts as well right?

I'm surprised at how properly GAF is discussing this "game" instead of ripping it a new asshole like they did with Wii Music. :lol

I don't really think Karaoke is video gaming man, that's why.
Neither is triggering notes with a usb controller (Rock Band).
That's just my opinion, but I'm sure I'll be flamed to death for saying something negative about a pop culture trend, so why don't I just apologize and we can move on.
I'm sorry that my opinions differ from yours. I hope you enjoy these games and I hope that LIPS turns out good for all the Karaoke/party gamers out there.
Peace :--)

Props.
You know what's funny though is that I wasn't bashing anyone's opinion.
Anyhow, I won't get into an argument on an internet forum, if you'd like to flesh this out further you can always PM me, but I won't hijack the thread.

OP: Here is a Gamespot video demonstrating some gameplay.

When someone asked about the lyrics in your own song, the designer said: "[...] It's going to continue to evolve as we go."
([...] = talking about what you can currently do with your songs, which is all of the game modes, gestures, scoring and such, but just no lyrics)
Please MS, if you get this in, let it be a free patch!

Also:
Like... themes? Or those Zune things? No real songs?
Since they now have 100 different songs total if you count all the regions, they should be able to put them online day one. I want Breakup song.

I was really excited about this game for about five minutes, when I first heard of it. After all, I loved Sakura Taisen and its revolutionary "LIPS" system! After the disappointment that IV and V brought, I've been waiting for a return to the series' roots, perhaps with some next-gen enhancements. A 360 game? With microphone support? Could this be the LIPS enhancement we've all been waiting for?!? Will I be confessing to my 2D lover using the sound of my own voice?
...unfortunately, no. It's some karaoke game instead. =(

they were advertising this game during Australian idol on Sunday.
Funny ad. Pair of Lips with legs walks up this guys arm while he's signing Take on Me. Funny shit.
Can't wait for this game.
Best Feature: Letting you play HUDless music clips in a playlist for you to use at parties etc. Awesomeness.

add me in there too. I never sing with Rockband, I leave it to my more inebriated guests however if I could get a karaoke game with wireless mics that ALSO work great with rockband then I would buy it in an instant to help alleviate the "oh shit sorry guys,I kicked the cable out again because of my drunken dancing" syndrome.Sho_Nuff82 said:
I don't see Harmonix et al having any incentive to implement a patch for it unfortunately. I hope Microsoft makes it worth their while because it makes Lips a LOT more attractive.

So excited for this game. Been looking forward to it since it was announced.
MS released some official details on the bundle. For some reason I thought it was gonna be an Arcade:
