SingStore PS3 pricing unveiled News
PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell
Sony says that songs bought through SingStar PS3's online "SingStore" will cost GBP 0.99 / EUR 1.49 each when the service launches alongside the game on 7th December.
The game itself features 30 new songs, but the SingStore will offer 44 additional downloadable tracks, including some from existing PS2 SingStar titles and some new ones (Manic Street Preachers, Zutons and Depeche Mode are mentioned).
You'll be able to buy the main game on Blu-ray for GBP 24.99 standalone or GBP 49.99 with a pair of microphones, and the online integration of the SingStore will not only allow you to add downloadable songs to your repertoire and customise playlists without leaving the game, but will also download songs as you play rather than forcing you to wait, which is quite nifty.
Sony promises that new material will be added to SingStore regularly, with an additional burst of content expected on 17th December, just over a week after the game goes on sale.
Other online features include the facility to upload photos (taken with PlayStation Eye "and many other USB cameras"), videos and performances to My SingStar Online, with efforts visible through www.singstargame.com, which also lets you do things like rate performances.
Reviews of the fully online-enabled version are expected to hit in the coming fortnight, so keep an eye out for our assessment of what was once billed as a PS3 launch title and should still be well worth the wait. Providing you like getting drunk and making a tit of yourself.

Too late to save PS3 Xmas,
I'm glad they finally announced a date, but Sony could have done with this and Drake's Fortune to have come out last week, not in December. |

I take it the microphones are wired, and not the rumoured bluetooth versions then

[quote]great shame they don't offer owners of the existing Singstar disks the option of copying across / unlocking the songs they've already paid for, for use in this version.[/quote]
Unfortunately there's no way to them to associate your disc with your PS3 so after unlocking 90 tracks, you could just pass on the discs to a mate for them to download the songs for free. But they should have made the old disc compatible with the new game. |

99p is pretty darn good. Glad it is no more.
You get the MP3, the HD Video and the gameplay for that... Ok, maybe not the MP3 but I thought they said you got that a while back... The mics are the old ones, but they'll be releasing wireless ones later, apparently.

Wow, cheaper than expected. I was expecting £1.50 a track (which would have seemed quite reasonable to me I might add).
Hurrah! |

They should give you no songs on the disc, but 30 quid credit to download what you want first time out.
But it's still a good deal. |

on the one hand, very very good. On the other hand, after a few drinks, youll just download everything and then weep in the morning when you realise you spaffed £80 on singstar the night before.

About 20p more then i was expecting...
I just hope the songs from America's Singstars are on our store...I think they got Blue October and All American Rejects who I like. I hope it's just not UK crap, i can't stand most of our bands. |

I see the recent price increase of Sony published PS3 titles has applied to Singstar also :(
What?! Simply not true! It comes with 2 microphones for £50. Sony still has an rrp of £39.99 for 1st party PS3 games. Besides, this game is £24.99 standalone! |

Oh really?
RRP: £44.99 RRP: £49.99 This one should actually be £44.99, so Play have inflated it even further. By the way, I'm not suggesting that Play speak for Sony, it's just a handy indicator.
