This is why all versions of Sing Star's have been virtually untouched. If you are even remotely interested in singing karaoke, this is what you need to get! Others try copying the perfect formula of Sony's Sing Star w/o complete success. ps- That's great when you find the PS2 versions for a nice low price. Also with the updates to the software you can disc swap back to older PS2 Sing Star games even if your PS3 isn't backwards compatible. That alone will help to ensure this wont get obsolete. You can even get online and purchase new songs to add to your singing library. I'm sure there is some sort of copyright lawyer crap they'd have to deal with to copy it to the HDD, but it doesn't make this any less fun!!! The game play is perfect, w/ the music video, lyrics, and pitch bars helping you become a singing sensation in your living room. This is not a bad thing, except for the disc swap. This version is basically the same as the other version, but adds the different music tracks. It is always a big hit! Friends with other gaming systems always want to get a PS3 and Sing Star after they leave. We love having friends over to play along when we have parties. You can still play SingStar games in offline mode, playing songs on physical discs and those previously bought and downloaded to a harddrive, but the rest of.
