SingStar goes into "further testing" limbo

by Nick Doerr { Oct 9th 2007 at 3:00PM }

November 13th was the release date for SingStar. Not anymore! In fact, forget about release dates for a while, especially in regards to SingStar. The PS3 version supposedly needs further testing and as a result, a release date has been removed from the title. As discussed in our upcoming podcast, we believe the SingStore is at fault -- that, and the planned Home integration.

Sony said they want to make the PlayStation Network experience "as rich, simple and accessible a SingStar experience as possible." With that idea, it's implied that the problem does lie with the SingStore as well as licensing issues with music. We'll report more on the delay and let you know when a release date is given as soon as we're given the information. Until then, just slap on a CD and sing in the mirror.

This game received a solid 8 out of 10 in the usually accurate Edge.

Lair got 3 to put that into some kind of perspective.

Knowing that the PS3 version had been delayed, I had my SingStar microphone from my PS2 in the car with me this morning and sang my lungs out on the way to work.

The community organisation I work for will be purchasing multiple PS3's when this game is released. Sony, do you wanna sell us PS3's?

this is so freaky. i was one of the few lucky who got this early from a online store here in sweden (spelbutiken). there better not be anymore functions in the later release :p

i posted a few pics and a video in a thread on ps3forums (http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread.php?t=102001)
the video has really bad sound tho so you can barely hear me talking.
