Had friends over last night. we played singstar v1 and v2 for like 5 hours straight. Such a blast. Then we went online and started downloading tracks. Was great. I think i am up to 26 downloaded tracks. So much fun. We just played in practice mode, which is all you relaly need, but the game is great. Just need more and more songs.

Really???? that is crazy. If that is so that is amazing. I can find ps2 singstars for super cheap used. Is it just a patch for v.2??? any idea when it is going to come out??

How is the gameplay on the PS2 versions compared to the PS3 version?

From looking at screen shots they look almost the same. the videos seem to be smaller on the screen and the scores are displayed in big bars at the top, but if you are just karaokeing (spelling???) then it doesn't really matter, but I haven't played them myself.

It's unknown yet. I heard late this year. It's patch for SingStar period, no matter which version you have you'll be able to play PS2 singstars regardless of which model PS3 you have. I'm presuming the trophy patch will be included (hope).

I just got Singstar Country today and it is glitchy. The previews of the songs don't play and half the time the game freezes when you select your song. Sometimes when you do get into your song, it just skips/loops like a scratched record. Disc is pristine though. Has anyone heard of it being glitched or did I just get a jacked copy?

Are you playing Country in your PS3?


OP updated. I actually bought 4 songs this update. I thin kI'm up to 42 songs bought now.

Yes I am. And I think I have around 40+ dl'd songs as well. 'Tis not good...

Could well be a compatibility issue then. If you just hold out then then patch that allows PS2 and PS3 discs to be interchanged might help out.

I bought Volume 2 today. I'll post what I think about it once I play it.

It's the same as vol.1, just different songs

So true. I'm not sure if I'll get Vol. 2, there is only a handful of songs I like on the disc. I'll just stick to DLC for now, as there is usually a song or two I like each time.

Do you have a link to this info? I was about to dump my 80's game that is sealed but will keep it if this is the case... is it some weird thing like we have to start with the PS3 version and then inssert the other disc?

Here's the link.

Here's the text :-

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you a quick update on some recent SingStar news. Yesterday we announced that SingStar PS3 Vol. 2 will be coming to the U.S. this October. You can check out the full details on SingStar PS3 Vol.2, as well get the latest on today’s SingStore update at IGN. Coming out of Leipzig, you may have read about a cool new SingStar PS3 disc swap feature which incorporates the SingStar PS2 library. We wanted to make sure everyone was up to speed on what the disc feature entailed, so here’s the lowdown from the SingStar development team: SingStar track compatibility across PS2 & PS3 is enabled via the Disc Swap feature. The feature has previously been available on SingStar games for both PlayStation 2 and PLAYSTATION 3, but for the first time owners of SingStar for PS3 will be able to play songs from PS2 discs in their collection. While playing a SingStar PS3 disc, at the song select screen, hit the [select] button to swap discs and play the songs from the inserted disc. The songs are not saved to the hard drive. This is a unique feature for SingStar and makes it possible for fans who have already built up their PS2 SingStar collection to continue enjoying it on PS3. It will be delivered via a free game update later this year and will work with all current SingStar PS3 discs. It will also be included on future SingStar PS3 discs releasing next year. This new feature will work with all current PS3 system models and does not require a system software update.

Stranded,

Wow thanks, do we know if its incorporated in Vol 2 from the get go?

Looks like a no at this point... well I may hold that disk for a short while, I wouldnt ahve go tmuch from it anyway.

Thanks

How does one get a video capture of a whole song? I thought the game only captured 30 secs or so of video. On second thought, how do we export that Youtubue too?

Are those European only features?
