Does anyone know if the singstar country disc will also work, I bought this a while back, thinking it would work with my PS3, which is one the models that is backwards compabible, and no luck, although Amped and the 80’s version work fine..
Thanks

I can’t get this to work. :(… I have singstar vol.3 for PS3 and Singstar Bollywood for PS2… When I attempt to the the disc swap procedure I get “This is not a singstar disc. Insert a singstar disc to continue”.

I have done the latest update for singstar.

Thanks.

I have a even better idea.

How about you follow the lead of Harmonix and Rockband and allow us to rip the discs to our PS3 hard drives instead?

Disc swappping is archaic and old. Get with the times and utilize the built in hard drive that comes with the PS3.

I went out and bought Singstar specifically because I can now play the ps2 versions and they work great. Thank you!!

Same “noisy” problem here (ps3 60gb). When using the PS2 discs the drive is constantly searching (moving the laser back and forth) and making a lot of noise. I don’t really think it’s healthy for the PS3 to use these PS2 discs – the BD-drive will wear down quickly. Apart from the drive noise everything plays ok. When playing the PS2 singstar game on the PS3 (in emulation mode, not from PS3 singstar) no noise is made from the drive.

Anybody with the same problem?

The wireless mic is ready and is in testing. Some guy is in the testing program and got it for free. Below is a link on flikr showing the comparison between the wired/wireless/and lips microphone. I must say that the singstar wireless mic is pretty fugly if you ask me, but at least it is wireless. It won’t be blutooth so you will have to plug in a usb receiver.

Bring back PS2 backwards compatibility. It’s absurd that we lost this great and expected feature.

Argh, hit enter by accident. The ps3 has a hard drive, lets use it. If you don’t want to import to HD from discs because then release track pacsk on psn. (And make the cost slightly less than the retail discs)
