    Are you serious Sony!?

    It will bomb since you guys refuse to **RELEASE WIRELESS MICS IN THE U.S.**

    This makes me want a SingStar Chinese. Karaoke is very popular in Hong Kong and China, and I can’t believe Sony is not targeting that demographic.

    im with LokeSTL i dont know if it will bomb but i do know you would have 1 more costumer if you release wireless mics here in the US , and yes you guys need more reggaeton in there lol , but very glad to see sony supporting the community nonetheless

    1st. Wrong name for this game, maybe SingStar Español because most of the artists are from Spain and Spain isn’t Latin-America (Latino).

    2nd. In the cities… where are the Puerto Rico GameStops?

    • Katie Reid
      November 24, 2009 at 9:59 am PST

      Here are the Puerto Rico GameStop locations –
      *Manati – Plaza Atenas
      *Vega Baja – Plaza Vega Baja
      *Vega Alta – Centro Gran Caribe
      *Barceloneta – Puerto Rico Outlet
      *Toa Alta – Plaza Aquarium Mall
      *Dorado – Dorado Del Mar S/C

      Hope that helps!

    November 24, 2009 at 9:30 am PST

    is this game from Sony Europe? The same stupid that put a hold on The Getaway and 8 Days?
    How about putting a hold on stupid games such as these and get back to work on The Getaway and 8 Days

  • explosive78
    November 24, 2009 at 9:46 am PST

    um more american r and b please. I know people in london dont like r and b, but this is america fix that if you want to sell.

  • BlooodyCow
    November 24, 2009 at 10:00 am PST

    @Katie Reid
    For the love of video games, can London Studio please resume work on The Getaway and 8 Days. Fans are more interested in those two titles rather than something like this. I know this is cheaper to make, but it probable will not sell well.

  • TakiFuGu
    November 24, 2009 at 10:00 am PST

    LOL, still no wireless mics. I don’t think you guys know what music people in NA enjoys.

    not my taste sony but keep up the good work im sure latinos will love it and I support that, any thing to reach new cultures through the sony family :) Long live growing sony!!

  • mgsfoxhound2
    November 24, 2009 at 10:06 am PST

    oh and for the ppl whinning about wirless mics just import them from europe, in sony forums someone is saying u can get them for like $25 i think i have them and they are awsome. dont wait to have them release that might never happen its u that has to do something about it

    kool.. my cousin loves latin music and beats. she will abuse our ears this xmas holiday with this, but to see her smile its worth it, i can alwy invite you guys over let her sing a few ear bleeding notes.. but seriously ty 4 the content..

  • LokeSTL
    November 24, 2009 at 10:22 am PST

    @mgsfoxhound2

    Yeah, that’s what we should do. Instead of insisting that they support the product their selling us with up-to-date peripherals, we should be forced to import them. I’d rather be a “whiner” than an idiot.

  • StalkingSilence

    Thanks for the SingStore update for this week! Can’t wait for wireless mics in the US

  • LokeSTL
    November 24, 2009 at 10:25 am PST

    @Katie Reid

    Can you please find out what is holding up the release of wireless mics in North America. Is there a patent issue or something? Some communication with us on the matter would be much appreciated. Thanks.

  • saintaqua
    November 24, 2009 at 10:35 am PST

    No thank you.
    We want Disney, you won’t get it for us,
    we want wireless mics, you ignore us,
    instead you bring us this? The more options the better, but I don’t care about this title at all.

    And the downloads are awful again.
    I have spent hundreds of dollars on Singstar, but this year I’m switching back to Karaoke Revolution (at least gonna give it a try) Sing Star has went down the drain and disappointed me so much this year that I have fallen out of love with it and no longer recommend it to my friends anymore either.

    Support for this game is non existent and I know my words will go ignored once again.
    Since you refuse to support the fans, i will stop supporting SingStar.

  • HongoXIII
    November 24, 2009 at 10:46 am PST

    Another great addition to the SingStar family. I wish this game got more support though. It’s a great series and has a great reputation, it just needs more of something. Not sure what, but either way, thanks for delivering another great title.

  • KidCommando
    November 24, 2009 at 10:50 am PST

    Wow, I’m glad I am not a SingStar fan. It seems like you guys get shafted left and right.

  • Radillo
    November 24, 2009 at 11:02 am PST

    Where can I find the song list? It seems that some of the names on the cover art don’t show up in the previously released PS2 version. For example: Mecano, Coti, Heroes del Silencio, Natalia Lafourcade.

    Is this a re-release for the Latin American market or is it a different version from the one released in Europe?

    • Katie Reid

    Seriously? Another game?

    Hello!!! Myself and all my gamer buddies are not even going to remotely touch this franchise until we see some Wireless mics!!!

    **RELEASE WIRELESS MICS IN THE U.S.**
    **RELEASE WIRELESS MICS IN THE U.S.**
    **RELEASE WIRELESS MICS IN THE U.S.**

    Do it! I’d be happy to pay for the game, but I will not get corded up EVER again.

    Come on! Priorities people!!!

    Another Sing Star fail. I traded PS3 Volume 1 and Volume 2 in a gamestop (I hate Gamestop) for a total of $8.75, best decision ever.

    I totally got ripped off, but nowhere as bad as if I kept the game. The mics are not wireless. The game has 2 songs of DLC every month. It’s totally ignored by Sony, and to top it all off you release this on disc only to one retailer.

    Every post of updates on this blog is 50% wireless mics. Yet, 1+ years go by and they are not on the shelves. What gives?

    Full Disclosure: I won’t buy the mics or the game, just trying to make it clear that Sony missed the market on the wireless mics.

  • KSPRAYDAD
    November 24, 2009 at 11:49 am PST

    I does seem that so much more could have been done with this game. It is sad that SONY no longer has the clout to negotiate licensing deals in North America that EA and Activision seem to have no trouble pulling off.

    Will this have some Juanes and/or Mana? lol

    Look at all the racists get mad. I bet they are the same people that thought that the spanish radio in Vice City (Miami) ruined the game…wow. I’m not a fan of this SingStar or kareoke, but I see you have Juan Luis Guerra 440 in that game and just for that and all the mad racists I’m will buy your game, keep it up and thank for showing the real face of this part of the world.

  • Rene_Led

    Nice addition, thank you for this, i hope you release the songs as dlc to the singstar store too :)

  • ihatereading369
    November 24, 2009 at 1:46 pm PST

    Yawn… who cares. Why on earth is this stuff getting priority over The Getaway and 8 Days?? Come on Sony, get your stuff together. I guarantee this game wont sell 5% of what Getaway and 8 Days would sell.

    Also, can’t you just release this stuff as DLC already like Rock Band and Guitar Hero and stop ripping people off already? No wonder Singstar has lost so much popularity over the years…

  • LokeSTL
    November 24, 2009 at 1:47 pm PST

    @NukePistols

    The only racist comment in here is yours. What about any of the previous comments is remotely racist? Wanting wireless mics in North America?

  • KidCommando
    November 24, 2009 at 1:51 pm PST

    Besides the questional comment of number 1, YOU sound more hateful than anyone else here, and you are the FIRST person to bring up race.

  • Stellore

    Great news, but is Singstar Motown ever coming to the States? And if not can we get the Motown songs as downloadable singles?

    Looks cool, I have a friend who loves latin music, this will make a great christmas gift for her.

  • AtomicPro
    November 24, 2009 at 2:44 pm PST

    This sounds like a step up although when we see more relevant songs like Greenday, Third eye blind, Mana, 3Doors, Molotov, Cafeta Cuba, Los enanitos verdes, Michael Jackson, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Limp Bizkit, Los Del Rio, More WeirdAl, Bon Jovi,… ? Normally the new set of new songs that come out every few weeks have sucked whats going on? Who request the new songs?

  • anthroposatiros
    November 24, 2009 at 3:46 pm PST

    SingStar Latino is a good idea (in theory). The selection for the Latin American market should have been different, but at least is a good step in the right direction. But my question is the following, last week in Spain SingStar Mecano was released — why don’t we get that in the US? Mecano was very popular all over Latin American countries. Why not bring it here, too? That was the only Spanish title I wanted–lucky for me I have friends in Spain that agreed to send me a copy.

    Sony, the taste in music for this market differs greatly from that of Spain. I sure would like to have a job working for SingStar— it’s obvious that you need someone that understands both sides of the “cultural pond.”

  • TheSecondA
    November 24, 2009 at 5:41 pm PST

    It’s great that you’re answering the members of this community who have been asking for this since singstar’s release.

    But, because I can’t find enough songs that I want to sing, I’ve had to find another source for my Karaoke outlet. Joysound Wii. Granted it’s a Japanese game but when I already have a Japanese wii and love both Japanese and Amercian songs, I had to buy it after trying my friend’s game. I mean, you pay 2000yen ($20-$30) and you get 90 days of unlimited access to over 50,000 songs, Japanese and American. Now, having purchased over 70 songs from singstar already and having not seen much of anything that I want to buy lately, I figure I’d throw my money that way.

    Sorry Sony. I’ll still buy songs on singstar when I see something I know and like. But until then, I have to go where the selection is best.

    If you want the Mics, Import them. They are worth it and work with all the Singing games!

    Any thing us consumers can do to get more artist on Singstar? Coldplay, Pink, Blur, Billy Joel all seem to get it and have 8+ songs on the SingStar Store.

    Need more Nickelback, Daugherty, Kings of Leon, and some Christian artist!!
