Can anyone tell me why there is no Bon Jovi songs on any Singstar disks? They are my favorites!

well I've been all about SingStar on the PS2 since those bundles started going on clearance. I have about two extra sets of mics. Then the EyeToy went on clearance and I was sunk. I still need Popv2, Rocks and Legend and I'll be happy. Country I will be taking a pass on. I am very excited to go home tomorrow and try out the PS3 version.

All work. The only one I heard that didn't work was SingStar Bollywood (Europe only).

As a warning, you cannot upload videos from PS2 songs onto My SingStar Online.

All... so PS2 Singstars from other regions work?

Yeah, it really shouldn't take 4 steps just to get to your friends' content. Plus, the servers are being super slow right now which is another pain in the ass.

Well, it's a lot better than what I was doing... I was searching for someone on my friends list, then using their friend list on their profile to find my profile to see my friend list.

that would be great. i wanted to get the Rock ballads one, which is a Europe only release.

I think what Mana meant is that all US versions will work b/c folks from the SingStar forum have confirmed that playing PAL PS2 versions does not work unless you own a PAL PS3 system.

Scroll down midway to this page to see the full details.

Okay...
The way it was worded made it seem like only Singstar Bollywood (which was a Europe only release) didn't work.

So I was just browsing the Sony SingStar forum, and what nugget of information do I find?

A thread that mentions SingStar Queen is listed on Amazon.com with a release date of March 17, 2009! There is hope afterall!!!!

awesome! it would've been quite the tease to have "Don't Stop Me Now" as the intro song on Vol 2 if they were never going to release that song in the US. i will probably pick this up the day it comes out.

SingStar Queen (PS2) is now listed on Amazon for March:
http://www.amazon.com/SingStar-Queen...1357282&sr=8-1

The ESRB.org also rated SingStar Queen (search PS2):
http://www.esrb.org/index-js.jsp

Playing the disc on PS3 would be pretty cool.

Who knows if the Queen songpacks are coming stateside (I kind of figured there was a hold-up because Hollywood Records is distributed by Universal Music Group in NA), but we'll see. I just want Queen so I'm happy either way (all Queen songs is $21.43. Plus SingStar Queen will probably contain 20 songs. 15 are on the European SingStore now).

From ESRB - "Some song lyrics contain references to sexuality (e.g., "I'm a sex machine ready to reload like an atom bomb about to explode") and violence (e.g., "just killed a man, put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead")."

Don't Stop Me Now and Bohemian Rhapsody confirmed.

Don't Stop Me Now...SWEET! there were about 25 songs on the ABBA game IIRC, hopefully there'll be at least that many on the Queen disc.

While looking at the European release schedule, they listed SingStar Queen for PS3 and PS2, so we'll see what happens.

with the disc swapping feature i would consider getting the Queen disc for PS2 since it will probably be cheaper.

Let me just say (but I could be wrong), it might be like SingStar ABBA where the PS3 disc gets 5 extra songs. But since the ESRB.org didn't rate the PS3 version, who knows if that will come stateside too. I just saw it listed.

There is an update on Friday. I have a feeling we'll probably get ours on the same day. The bad news is one song which I figure many would like Belinda Carlisle "Heaven is a place on earth" MIGHT go MIA in the U.S. update because its owned by Virgin in Europe, but UMG everywhere else (which is why Australia won't be getting the song). Also, they are still adding songs from other updates, so you never know.

Right now throughout the net, some SingStar fans are trying to get the word out they want to see a SingStar Bon Jovi edition (It's all over the net. I really doubt it will happen though):

that makes sense. depends on what those 5 songs are. it would probably be 1 song that i'd really want and then 4 that i could live without.

also, please no Bon Jovi version, not enough songs that i like to make that worth it to me. like i said before i'd prefer if they put out some sort of Rock Ballads version in the States.

thanks for the continued updates Mana.
