[quote name='StrandedBrit']English tracklist for Euro store :whistle2:[/quote]

Just got my Singstar in the mail yesterday and have yet to take it out for a testdrive...definitely need to add those Duran Duran, New Order, and Nick Cave tracks to my want list.

Nice.

En Vogue - ‘My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)

Men At Work - Who Can It Be Now
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Kylie Minogue - Where The Wild Roses Grow

[/QUOTE]

I hope we get Twisted Sister. I'd wish for Gorillaz too but that's not going to happen. Pretenders and The Vines might be alright.
 
[quote name='StrandedBrit']Anyone checked the singstore yet today?!?!?!?[/quote]

Just checked (through my PSP no less!). The US store still has only the last update listed (Foreigner, Toni Braxton, etc.).

Come to think of it doesn't it usually update on Friday?

Update: The store says "The next Singstore update for U.S. and Canada is on the 21st of August"

Maybe it will be a big one. (Don't get your hopes up!)

The 21st update better be massive or at least have an awesome selection. I wish SCEA would realize that most of us are dying to purchase new songs.
 
lame. so much for every 2 weeks. i bet it's just a normal sized update on the 21st. i'm not sure why they'd skip a week when it seems like it'd be relatively easy for them to roll out songs that were on the PS2 singstars. of course then i'd bitch about how they're giving me content i already have :)
 
Here's the songlist for the U.K. this time (we will probably get most of the songs). This comes from the GAF SingStar thread (credit goes to Tntnnbltn):
• Billy Joel - "River of Dreams" (1993, Sony BMG. Youtube)
• Britney Spears - "Overprotected" (2001, Sony BMG. YouTube)
• Cheap Trick - "I Want You To Want Me" (1977, Sony BMG)
• Daniel Powter - "Bad Day" (2005, Sony BMG in Europe / Warner in the US.)
• David Bowie - "Jean Genie" (1972, Sony BMG. YouTube)
• Evermore - "It's Too Late" (2004, Warner.)
• Five Star - "System Addict" (1985, RCA/Tent Recordings. Youtube)
• HIM - "And Love Said No" (2004, Warner.)
• Jamiroquai - "Alright" (1996, Sony BMG. )
• Jesus Jones - "Right Here, Right Now" (1991, EMI. Youtube)
• Levellers - "What A Beautiful Day" (Either 1997, Warner or the 2007 re-release, Eagle Records.)
• Panic! At The Disco - "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" (2006, Fueled by Ramen. )
• Sister Sledge - "He's The Greatest Dancer" (1979, Warner. Youtube)
• Tina Turner - "What's Love Got To Do With It?" (1984, EMI. Youtube)

I can say I want:
Billy Joel - "River of Dreams"
Britney Spears - "Overprotected"
Jesus Jones - "Right Here, Right Now"
Sister Sledge - "He's The Greatest Dancer"
Tina Turner - "What's Love Got To Do With It?"
 
Looks like you'll be able to rip your PS2 version songs into the PS3 soon.

Tearing a page straight out of the Rock Band 2 playbook, Sony announced a new service – to be made available through a firmware update – that will allow folks to essentially rip the tracks from PS2 versions of SingStar onto the PS3. IGN gives us a play-by-play of the service: "Just throw in the PS2 disc and you can grab the tracks!" Epic! We're curious about the details: What's to prevent you from borrowing or renting games? Will this work on all PS2 versions of SingStar? Will this work on all PS3s (even those without PS2 backwards compatibility)? Is this enough to compete with Lips' play-your-own-music functionality? More as we know it.

SingStar Disney on PS2. :D

I have a soft spot for Disney and I love SingStar.
[quote name='StrandedBrit']Also from Leipzig ..... Michael Jackson confirmed for Vol 3! (At least in Europe).[/QUOTE]
I think we'll start seeing Michael Jackson songs in the SingStar store once it comes, meaning it has cleared licensing to get him.

Bad news is it's more of a disc swapping method actually, it seems:
http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/08/20/singstar-firmware-upgrade-will-allow-ripping-of-ps2-tracks-onto/

But, if it still keeps the PS3 interface I'm happy (since it imports tracks).

[quote name='NamPaehc']Looks like you'll be able to rip your PS2 version songs into the PS3 soon.[/QUOTE]

that is awesome. one of my biggest complaints is that with the weekly updates they usually stuff a few songs in there that i already have on the PS2 versions. if you could rip them into the PS3 version it would be great to have them all in one place. i might need to get a bigger hard drive for that though. hopefully it doesn't require the BC though. *fingers crossed*

also, does anyone know if they're going to release the volume 2 songs as individually downloadable songs in the singstore? there's a handful of songs on there that i'd like, but there's also a handful of songs on there that i could care less about. it would probably be cheaper to get the 10 songs i want off the singstore instead of buying the entire disc.

*edit* just read Mana's link, and that's still pretty cool, i have all 5 PS2 games, so it's no big whoop for me. i'm happy that they will support it irregardless of whether or not your have a PS3 with BC. hopefully the PS3 version will still store the high scores and such, although i can't imagine it wouldn't. when is this patch supposed to come out? i didn't see it in the article, unless i completely missed it.

The PS Blog posted a article trying to help the confusion:
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/08/21/how-it-works-singstar-ps2-ps3-compatibility/

When looking at the comments, here's what was said by an SCEA rep
Unfortunately it won’t be possible to upload any saved media for PS2 songs because of licensing restrictions.

In doing this feature we thought the most important point was being able to play all of the songs from your SingStar collection regardless of whether they’re from PS2 or PS3.

We added to the PS3 SingStar game ‘engine’ the ability to read and decode the tracks from a SingStar disc for PS2. Keeping it within the PS3 game also means you can still play your downloaded tracks.

If Vol 3 stays intact for the US next year, that will officially be the best disc of the three so far in my eyes. Some big guns on that one.

I'll update the OP later tonight.

EDIT: I really hope they update SingStar as a whole with trophies, because after reading that tracklist for vol 2 I'm really considering cancelling my pre-order (only a couple of songs I like).

The main purpose of the Volumes is to serve as a retail presence for those who lack internet connection.

I want Eminem, so I'm buying it (and some of its features). Volume 1 isn't getting trophies though. ALL future SingStar games are.

EDIT: PS3 Fanboy had it wrong, trophy support is coming next year to SingStar.
Trophy support is coming early next year.

There's an update on Thursday, according to the SingStar Fan Group on Facebook

We are planning to release a small patch/online enhancement on Thursday. This will be free of charge and available when you logo on, on Thursday.

- We've fixed small online image problem which currently affects some thumbnail images

Love SingStar Team

Singstar 2 has a good number of songs that interest me. 3 to a lesser extent, at least as far as what will be released for UK.

Alrighty folks, I'm new to the forums so be gentle! :)

Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm wondering if it's possible to clear all of the high-score data that is saved on my singstar charts (I've got the first version on PS3) without losing all of the songs that I've bought from the Singstore?

I can't see the option anywhere in the menus?

Or, is it possible to remove certain peoples scores from the charts?!?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer me some sort of advice!!
 
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, ABBA and Universal Music Announce Collaboration on SingStar®

SingStar® ABBA Available For This Christmas, Exclusively on PlayStation®


Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today announced a collaboration with ABBA to bring the band’s best loved tracks to SingStar for both PlayStation®2 and PLAYSTATION®3. Owners of either system will now be able to sing along with some of the most iconic pop tracks of all time including ‘Mamma Mia’, ‘Gimme Gimme Gimme’, ‘Waterloo’ and ‘Dancing Queen’.

SingStar ABBA is being developed in full collaboration with ABBA and Universal Music Group in Sweden, which manages the rights to the ABBA brand. The terms of the agreement include a window of exclusivity for disc-based PlayStation titles until December 2009.

ABBA’s recordings have sold an estimated 370 million units worldwide. Their 1992 album, “Gold,” is one of the most popular albums of all time, with sales of 26 million copies.

The SingStar agreement comes as the music of ABBA enjoys a renewed surge of popularity worldwide, sparked by the huge success of the film, “Mamma Mia!” Global sales of the soundtrack album, released by Universal Music Group, the world’s leading music company, are now approaching 3 million.

“We are thrilled to be collaborating with ABBA to bring their tracks to SingStar this Christmas,” said David Reeves, President, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. “The popularity of this iconic band continues year after year, and we know SingStar fans will be delighted to add this selection of classics tracks to their SingStar collection.”

Lucian Grainge, Chairman/CEO of Universal Music Group International, commented: “ABBA have joined that elite club of musicians and artists whose popularity only grows with time, as new generations enjoy some of the most memorable music ever made. SingStar ABBA will have the world singing along again.”

SingStar ABBA is the perfect soundtrack to any party, guaranteed to get pop lovers of all ages on their feet when it is released this winter in PAL territories and the US.

I'm excited about this.

Except, I think that means I'm gay. Any tips on how to break that news to my wife? :shock: a wonderful husband. (With thanks to StrandedBrit!)

What you're meant to do is tell your wife about it, have her get excited for it, buy it 'for her' and then you're in business.

You can now edit your message and no one will be the wiser. :lol:

Yeah, I know that the Singstar songs you purchase are on a list. I've attempted to d/l them around 10-15 times and I've only been able to actually download 12 of the 30.

If Naughty By Nature "O.P.P." makes it over, I'm going insane. I really love that song. I'd love for "Hip Hop Hooray" to also arrive one day.
