SingStar Beatles mic bundle confirmed News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

23 September, 2009

EA, MTV and Harmonix have announced The Beatles: Rock Band - Two Microphone Pack for PS3, which bundles the game plus two SingStar microphones for £49.99.

Note: that's two wired microphones; it may be worth considering two wireless SingStar microphones instead, as they cost only £29.99 at ShopTo and are infinitely snazzier.

All this microphone talk draws attention to the unique three-part harmonies in The Beatles: Rock Band. That feature is one of the many reasons we dolloped 9/10 on the historic music game earlier this month.

The other reasons we've smeared mercilessly throughout our Beatles: Rock Band review.

So it's just the SingStar mics but there's still no Beatles SingStar game, right?

That's a little bit of half-hearted cross branding, I don't quite get it.

I just wish that they would all share songs. I'd be more inclined to buy songs if i knew i could play them on every game. I personally prefer the singstar singing to that of Rockbands.

Ofcourse this will never happen so i will vacate cloud cuckoo land.

I'm tired of the Beatles already. I wish DJ Hero wasn't an Activision game, so I could buy it:D

I wouldn't have minded a similar arrangement on Xbox. I didn't buy any instruments this time apart from a pair of mics, which I got cheap with Lips. I'd have been all over that if they had done something similar with those at launch. Either way, it's not much use to me now.

@ Mkwone

That would require all music games to use a standard format for their song downloads, which they don't. Seeing as the games are written by different companies there is never likely to be a standard either.

Mkwone: "I personally prefer the singstar singing to that of Rockbands."

What's the difference? I mean that genuinely. Having played them both, I can't see any difference other than the inclusion of failure, overdrive and percussion parts in Rock Band, all of which are ultimately optional.

The title of "SingStar Beatles" is deceptive! I don't get why a Rock Band game has been bundled with SingStar mics instead of Rock Band mics. There is a Rock Band mic, right?
