PS3 SingStore: 2.2 Million Served

Sony's PS3 SingStore hasn't exactly set our great balls on fire (yet!). It functions superbly, but the majority of updates are old songs we've already seen on PS2, and even then, are usually the crummy PS2 songs. But anyway. Maybe we're just mean, bitter old cynics, because Sony announced yesterday that for all its flaws, the PS3's SingStore has still sold 2.2 million tracks since it launched late last year. Which is nothing but money in the bank for SCEE.

SingStar: No Worldwide Exclusives, My SingStar Heads Online

SingStar news! First item: SingStar producer Paulina Bozek has told PS3F that unlike certain other music titles available at the moment, the SingStar team have "no interest" in locking certain songs to certain regions of the world. Good news, that comes with a catch: they won't do it on purpose; stuff like licensing issues can still split the stores. Second item: the ultra-cheesy "My SingStar" video repository, which displays 30-second vids of your SingStar performances, is about to move online. Presently, it's available only within the game, but you'll soon be able to view it via a browser, so anyone who does post on it, think twice: your chances of being seen by a friend/loved one are about to go up 100x.

'My SingStar Online will hit the web this year,' says Bozek [PS3 Fanboy]

Latest by Ungruntled: I loves me some SingStar. It needs a tweak to iron out some wrinkles, but it's so much more varied than Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Plus, girls who don't game love it and so it's a great way to get them round to your gaff post-pub. And it's one more »

SingStar: 12 Million Served

I post a lot about SingStar here. And when I do, I get a ton of Americans saying "who cares?" Here's the thing: a lot of people do. Just not necessarily Americans (and not necessarily that woman on the right up there). Take Europe, for example. Europe cares. SCEE have let us know this morning that since the first game launched on the PS2 in 2004, they've sold over 12 million copies of SingStar. Those are big numbers for any game, but for a game that's only really popular in PAL territories? They're very big numbers. Oh: SingStar PS3's out in the US on May 20, in case you're wondering.

Yet Another PS2 SingStar Game Announced

Who said we wanted more PS2 SingStar games? Europe, was it you? Thought so. Thanks a lot. You could at least have asked for one with a specific theme or genre (the world still needs SingStar Gregorian Chants), but no. You had to go asking for some crummy "SingStar Summer Party" compilation, which feels a lot less like summertime and a lot more like "pop music hell". More »

Latest by simpleandpink: This track list makes me feel young. I know like five of those songs. I hope that there aren't any more from my generation otherwise I'm going to feel out of the loop. As for me buying this: HELLZ NOE. We still say "hellz noe" right? Just trying to be hip... more »

SingStore Updated, PS2 Library Rehash Continues Unabated

The PS3's SingStore will be updated on Friday. With songs new to the game, that will inspire devoted fans of the series to actually buy songs they don't already own from a PS2 version? No. No, it's a 24-song update featuring 24 songs that have already appeared on PS2 SingStars. Look, Sony, we can understand a mix of the old and the new, for those who are new to the series. But just old stuff when most people who own the game at this stage are fans, and already own PS2 versions? Getting a little old. Even if it does include DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince and Faith No More. Full update list is after the jump. More »

SingStore Updates Continue To Suck

Oh, PS3 SingStar, how are you managing to blow such a sure thing? Since the game's launch late last year it's been a shell of an experience, with a crummy, limited tracklist making it a poor relation to the PS2's varied and expansive libraries. In an effort to remedy this, Sony have been trying a little harder to update the game's online SingStore recently, and will on March 7 continue this with a massive update, featuring 67 "new" songs. I say "new", though, because they're not new at all: most (might even be all) songs are already featured on the PS2 versions of the game. More »

Latest by TheJeanGenie: I never got no Joy Division on the PS2 singstars, so this update makes me happy. Of course, since I don't own Singstar (yet) I can just ridicule all the early adopters who have to sing Shannon Noll over and over while they wait for good songs. HA! more »
