Forums - Sony Discussion - Can someone school me on Singstar PS3?

Yes, you can turn off the vocals in the PS3 version.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

So can you burn the videos or songs? and transfer it to a DVD or CD to be played in other equipment besides the PS3?

They are only for SingStar, and can't be copied or burned down.



Oh.. that's too bad. Darn.

So only in PS3 harddrive will those songs exist if you download them.



Well, since they are designed for the game (music video, gameplay elements etc.) I think it would be too much of a hassle to make into something useable, even if you could get it off the harddrive. Which Sony doesn't allow you to access.

I'm still looking at the song list for PS3 Singstar. If I can get 30 to 40 songs for pure Karaoke purposes (ie. no vocals), then I will get one for my parents.

So I hope they add some older songs - 60s, 70s and 80s songs

By the way, can you play the PS2 Singstar disks in the PS3?

Only if you get an 80 GB PS3, else you will have to settle for the songs on the SingStore



What is the difference in how singstar Ps2 and PS3 work? Some collections on the PS2 aren't on the singstore which means I'd have to buy the disc. Is the game identical regardless of which version is loaded or do I load the PS3 singstar and then swap disks? I don't see why they just don't put every damn PS2 song that is on disk on the singstore and be done with it. Bundle them if they are worried about losing revenue due to cherry pickers. My wife wants some country tunes and it appears there is a singstar country coming down the pipe in October but it is a PS2 version...

From everything I have read you can just pop in a Singstar PS2 disc in the PS3 (assuming you have backwards compatibility) and play it without any problems. They do use the same mics after all. I am still waiting to hear about wireless mics.

I've got the 80 gig so BC is no issue but is gameplay the same between the two?  In other words, is it essentially identical in terms of actual game features?
