Xbox 360 Lips 'Device' to be Unveiled?

Microsoft's San Francisco Gamers Day - which is to be held in that lovely part of the world tomorrow (May today) - looks as if it could herald a hardware device named 'Lips' to the world. (We are assuming it's not going to be a Language Interface Pack).

Right now, aside from some empty folders residing on a Microsoft press site indicating a product called 'Lips' (as well as a game called Ninja Blade and a new Viva Piņata), the assumptions being chucked around the Internet is that Lips is a hardware peripheral.

Guesses from the 8bitjoystick site include, "a piece of hardware that is going to have something to do with voice communications" or "it might be a microphone for a singing game" or "it sounds like some sort of microphone or communicator".

Okay, right. We would also like to add in the fact that Lips 106 was also a radio station in GTA Liberty City Stories - we say this because it's a really poor way to segue into the fact that we hope the Microsoft Gamers Day will finally come up with some hard facts about the GTA IV DLC for the Xbox 360.

For now, however, we shall wait and see if we need a new voice comms device for the Xbox 360 outside of a headset and mic. Voice recognition would be fun, enabling teenaged Americans to scream, "Pwn that fu*cking noob f*cking lamer!" and for the 360 to immediately disconnect and then explode.

Of course, this could also be a version of Microsoft's latest webcam - the LifeCam VX-5000 - to be used over IP for the Xbox 360?

Your guesses to the Forum please.
