SingStore finally getting updated, PS2 disc swapping by Xmas

SingStore finally getting updated, PS2 disc swapping by Xmas


Oh, yeah. SingStar. Looks like SCEA may not have forgotten about that game either. It's easy to lose faith when games like Rock Band, Guitar Hero and even Karaoke Revolution, offer regular updates -- but no new news gets released about Sony's music game. According to a new post on the PlayStation.blog, US fans of the singing game can look forward to over 60 songs to be released over "the next few months." (Not too specific, we know.) Hopefully, this is a sign that regular content will start hitting the SingStore. You can only sing Buddy Holly for so long before you want some new music to play with.

In other SingStar news, it looks like the game will be patched to support PS2 disc swapping. Let's say you have SingStar 90s (PS2). Just boot up your PS3 SingStar. When you hit Select on the Song Select screen, you'll be able to insert the PS2 disc into your system. Voila! You have access to all the content of SingStar 90s. This feature will work on any PS3 system (even those without backwards compatibility). The patch will be available by Christmas.
