A small update with old music and one track that’s most people probably already own on the vol.1 disc! Fantastic.

You guys over at Sony know how you the 360 has outpaced you in console sales here in the U.S.?

that’s exactly what’s going to happen to you with Singstar if you don’t get your act together with updates. Incase you guys have been living under a shell the music video game market is on fire here in the U.S.

You are missing a PRIME opportunity to market on this by releasing craptastic updates that are few and far between.

Eventually your customers will go to a game which offers them a better value. Explain that to your bosses why you lost the opportunity after the fact.

Cool…sorta! Can’t wait to try out my PS2 discs (which have been getting dusty since I prefer the PS3 game format). I say ’sorta’, as I’ve already spent some money in the SingStore downloading songs that were on the PS2 versions (with the intent of getting rid of the PS2 copies).

My remaining wishlist:

- More songs! (a specific one: Robbie Williams & Nicole Kidman – Something Stupid. I see videos for it, so I assume it’s available elsewhere in the world for SingStar) Otherwise, as others have said, more recent top 40’s stuff would be good.

- Would be nice if I could “suck” the songs I want off of the PS2 discs to the PS3 HDD so that I don’t have to swap discs

- How do I report incorrect lyrics?

- How about turning down the menu music a few notches? It sucks to have to turn the music up to sing a song, then turn it down before the menu music blasts you out of the room, then back up for the next song.

I was hearing that the update to play PS2 SingStar games (on PS3 if you own a copy of SingStar) is coming tomorrow to Europe. Will NA be getting that update too? Thanks a lot. :D

Also, was the songpack section suppose to be removed from the SingStore?

Thanks, glad to see the SingStore updated. Only concern I have is didn’t you say the other music (such as from Queen and P!nk “Get The Party Started”) will be making its way over, over time.

I agree with some of the folks above! Singstar is a phenomenal family game, but they do need some older 50’s-60’s and younger Disney to cover all generations!:) I’d love to see this happen for the PS2. How come only Europe gets the good stuff?! Cmon state side!! PLEASE!:)

Hey does anyone know if when using the disc swapping feature on your PS3 version of singstar will the same gameplay and overall look of the PS3 version apply to songs from the PS2 disc? Or will it just be like playing the PS2 disc? I hate the PS2 versions of singstar with their dated graphics and the fact that you can’t adjust the latency on them.

Why did it take this long? Is it because Lips from MS is going to challenge Singstar? Singstar needs more recent song and not just rap. I’m talking rock, and not just from the 1900’s Try getting Linkin Park, shinedown, MORE 3 doors down, more good country. Why no Metallica?

Also get songs people know not the songs that are on the cd but are not popular.

I’m a little upset at this. Why do we have disc swap? That’s kinda cool… If this were a PS2.

But we have a PS3. With HUGE hard drives! I have ALL the SingStar’s, why can’t we rip our old collection to the PS3?

It’s not like it can’t be done; Rock Band 2 did it and it was a huge convience!

I hope someone sees this, and probably the many other comments from people like me, who want to see this feature!

Me and my friends love Singstar. Anychance you will release a singstar latin or release spanish songs to download on the PS3 Store?

Agreed, songs should be made to be downloaded to atleast a few consoles. I do plan on owning a second PS3 and that would be very annoying not being able to play the song on both consoles.
