SingStar Beatles mic bundle confirmed

By Robert Purchese Published 23 September, 2009

Two wired mics and game for 50 quid.

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.

    I've already seen this for sale and my local HMV...

  • makeamazing #2 2 years ago

    Im confused, this is already out? I was in HMV last week and they were selling some.

  • schnide #3 2 years ago

    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.

  • haveasafeday #4 2 years ago

    SingStar mics but with Beatles rock band game, and it's been in the shops for a few days now

  • Mkwone #5 2 years ago

    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.

  • menage #6 2 years ago

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

  • paulf #7 2 years ago

    so essentially you are getting the mics for a tenner?

  • CARL05 #8 2 years ago

    2 parts news, 1 part ShopTo advertisement.

  • Bilbo_bobbins #9 2 years ago

    This is proper old news. Obviously someone read another article on another website and thought....oh god we better do the same. PLANKS !

    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.

  • sam_w #13 2 years ago

    Yeah, have also seen this in hmv as well

  • rprince #14 2 years ago

    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?
