I bought Volume 2 today. I'll post what I think about it once I play it.
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.
Celine Dion Christmas Eve
Toni Braxton Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Babyface Sleigh Ride
Paul McCartney Wonderful Christmastime
Shakin' Stevens Merry Christmas

From SingStar group on Facebook.- Why aren’t all the songs from the PS2 discs available for download on the PS3 SingStore yet?
This is something we’re working on. We have had to re-process all of the tracks for PlayStation 3 and this in turn means we have to start a brand new clearance procedure. We are, however, ready to release them to the store as soon as each track has been cleared for use. As soon as each track is approved we’ll have them in the store as quickly as we can.
Those songs he mentioned, all except for Let's Dance were exclusive to the U.K. SingStore.We’ve been listening to your feedback over the last few months and wanted to let you know that we will be adding 60+ songs to the North American SingStore over the next few months. We’ll be sure to keep you all posted as we begin rolling out new songs to the SingStore. In the meantime, here’s a highlight of songs to appear in the coming weeks:
- UB40 – ‘Red Red Wine’
- Billy Joel – ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’
- Chumbawamba- ‘Tubthumping’
- David Bowie- ‘Let’s Dance’
- Pink – ‘Get the Party Started’
- Queen- ‘The Show Must Go On
That's the Christmas pack Europe got. The bad news is that some songs don't have music videos.Just in time for the holidays we will also be releasing a Christmas song pack to the SingStore in mid-December featuring popular Christmas carols from top artists such as Toni Braxton, Celine Dion and Paul McCartney. The pack will be available for $6.99 and will include the following tracks:
- Toni Braxton – ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Xmas’
- Babyface – ‘Sleigh Ride’
- Shakin’ Stevens – ‘Merry Christmas’
- Paul McCartney – “Wonderful Christmastime’
- Celine Dion – ‘Christmas Eve’
PS2 update and other things.For all you SingStar fans with an extensive PS2 SingStar Library, a free game update will be made available by Christmas which will let you play your existing PS2 SingStar titles on your PS3. The new feature will work with all current PS3 systems and will not require a system software update. Just note, this feature is only compatible with SingStar discs.
Thank you all very much for your support and feedback. We’re committed to improving the North American SingStore and will keep you posted with new releases and updates.
