@33: “and the 20 player limit really has to go, it’s horrible when you have to delete someone and their highscore is wiped clean”

Second this. The limit serves no purpose.

Hello, I purchased PS3 Singstar as a family X-mas gift and after the initial fun, I am very disappointed with the lack of available songs for download. It is horrible! I have good and wide ranging band/musician knowledge and found that the majority of bands are unknown. Of the good artists, most have only one song available and it’s a terrible choice. I’ve scrolled through the hundreds of on-line available songs and due to the poor selection, only downloaded four. What makes a bad situation worse, is that there are no kids songs. We want this to be a family and adult party activity, and it has great potential, but the song choices are terrible!!

Ok I think I’m confused so I need to ask for clarification. I am in Canada with a non-backwards compatible PS3. If I purchase ANY of the old Singstars for PS3, I can use them with the Disk Swap option? Is this correct? Because if it is, holy crap do I have some shopping to do.

I was wondering, if I buy a PS4 in a few years, will I be able to play the songs I bought on my PS3 or are we kinda throwing away money right now?

I think its a fair measure of how angry I am, that I actually went through a whole sign-up process just to leave this comment.

We purchased a PS3 a few months ago primarily to play digital content. We use our Wii primarily for gaming. However, I saw Singstar and in particular Singstar Motown, so I asked my wife to get it for me for Xmas – good intro to PS3 gaming.

Now, I read that:

1) Motown Version “not” releasing
2) General agreement that Singstar isn’t providing decent North American content (and I would think Motown would be high on that list, btw)
3) Singstar hasn’t even bothered to provide wireless microphones for the NA market, while available elsewhere?

All this leads me to conclude that Sony and Singstar don’t really care, and frankly I want to know how you’d like me to explain to my wife that the Xmas gift is going back?

What I’d like is for Jack Tretton to write to me and explain to me why I should buy anything PS3 related, when even basic products that are completely within Sony’s control, can’t be delivered?

Ohh yes …. I’m angry.

I wasn’t sure if anyone that might read this would have any advice? I have had singstar vol. 2 for a year now but decided to download a couple of wallpapers, I have no problem downloading songs at least before the last 2 updates. Or no problem besides just it bein a pain havin to delete all my songs and redownload them, then finding out there was a fix so I just wasted my time :s, I have never tried to til tonight with wallpapers ,the transaction went through and everything. But for some reason they keep comin up as error when they try to download? So payed for em and cant get em, anyone else with this prob? or any advice?

I didn’t trust Sony enough to actually delete my locked out songs, and I’m glad I waited as I have downloaded more than 500 songs and was suspicious of the very thing that happened to Kodiak31 in comment #80.

Version 4.31 is out and it fixed the deleted user problem.
