MS unveils new 360 wireless mic

Microsoft has announced a new Xbox 360 Wireless Microphone that will launch this autumn for around 50 dollars.

The microphone boasts "high-quality voice reproduction technology and stylish interactive motion sensors and lights", and will work across music games like Lips, Guitar Hero: Metallica, Rock Band 2, Disney Sing It: High School Musical 3 - Senior Year and The Beatles: Rock Band.

The press release is sparse, but the microphone doesn't appear to be tied to a game - rather a separate Xbox 360 peripheral like a wireless control pad.

We're checking European details and confirming specifics.
