SingStar ABBA unveiled for PS3, PS2 News
PlayStation 2 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Sony plans to make money, money, money this Christmas with SingStar ABBA on both PS2 and PS3.
We're not sure what, if any, the differences between the two versions will be, nor how many or which tracks will be included. The Swedish pop band are co-operating, though, and all the greatest hits are said to be present.
The announcement comes after box office success for Mamma Mia! the Hollywood adaptation of the titular West End musical. Supposed to be a good romp, we're told, not least because Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan have trouble staying in tune.
ABBA rocketed to fame after "Waterloo" won the band the Eurovision Song Contest held in Brighton back in 1974.
The quartet has gone on to sell around 370 million recordings around the world, despite having two hairy men with dodgy beards and one slightly ugly lady.

Never found either attractive but I guess it is reference to the one with dark hair. The other day my missus mentioned that she's going to buy the Mamma Mia DVD as soon as it comes out. I'm keeping this news from her for my own safety

Or Singstar Johnny Hates Jazz
Nice to see that the SingStore is being used as advertised and they are not churning out song disks as before to rake in more money |

My thoughts on the PS3 as a karaoke machine that happens to play MGS4 are given more ammunition. Lovely.

"We're not sure what, if any, the differences between the two versions will be"
Obviously Sony will use all that extra space available on the bluray disc to add some real value, you would expect at least double the number of tracks. I predict the main difference will be between £5-10 more for the PS3 version. /blond haired Swedish women with blue eye shadow, takes me back to my youth ;-) |

Buy earplugs, move out, tell her you have a headache? ;-) Others have said it before, but I'll say it again: Sony will make bucketloads of money with this. I, also, am tempted, and I'm a metalhead, for Christ's sake! |
