The SingStore Update that we listed back on the 8th has just gone live on the SingStore, which features Will Young, Lily Allen, The Bangles and, er, Sonia. Not hugely exciting in itself, but we’ve also been told that April will officially be SingStar Month here at TSA Towers. Well, not officially, April is officially April, but you get the idea.
Trophy Patch: April 16th
Yes, the moment we’ve been waiting for for ages is almost upon us, as from Thursday you’ll get Trophies for your singing. For a full list of all the SingStar Trophies, check our Trophy list right here, and remember, some of the Trophies unlock rewards in PlayStation Home, too.
SingStore Revamp: April 16th
We can’t say too much about this, but expect some fairly significant tweaks to the SingStore this Thursday too.
Voice Control Patch: April 22nd
Rumoured since birth (we even asked the SingStar team about it in person but can’t find the link – 50 TSA Points to whoever does) but only just recently announced, SingStar will be getting Voice Control the following week. Yes, this will mean you won’t need to touch that nasty Dual Shock controller: instead you’ll just shout “Queen” at your TV to make it play.
SingStar 4: Pop Edition: April 24th
And finally, the confirmed date for SingStar 4: Pop Edition is the 24th of April. We thought we’d covered the track listing, but it appears we haven’t, so here it is:
Big thanks to Katy over at singstarchallenge.com for the help with this post.

Was hoping for voice control over the bank holiday weekend, but it should be there ready for the next one

Why is everyone ’slyly’ mentioning their GF’s in their posts? Do you really have to rub it in? It’s hard enough being single.

Agreed. It’s been a long year.

So mentioning that my girlfriend plays on PS3 with me (and her PSP when I’m being selfish) as a regular activity isn’t a good idea?
Well that sucks, as it’s exactly how I wanted to comment! =P
PixelJunk Monsters frustration is so much more fun when shared with a loved one. That said, the best thing EVER is hearing your girlfriend curse profusely in frustration because she crashed on Burnout just before winning an event.

Just out of interest, is anyone having problems with the wireless microphones? Ours are a bit crackly…

Any news if there will be a pack of these songs on the store, I’m guessing not and it pisses me off I can tell you!

Has the trophy patch been genuinely confirmed by SCE London?

My wife suddenly got interested in trophies when I mentioned this. Now I just have to trick her to play the game on my account so I get the trophies (since I won’t be able to get many of them on my own).
Oh, and I hope the ‘fairly significant tweaks to the SingStore’ means that all the songs from the disc releases will magically appear… (I know there are some licensing issues here, but I can’t understand why. No matter how I get the song – dl or disc – I can only play it through SingStar!)

be careful.
i’m not sure that a perfect run on the greatest hits of the Village People will garner you much respect from your gaming peers

Good point. Actually I’m not sure the singstar trophies will garner much respect at all even though geting 9344 points in hard mode is going to be – hard!

I always say it but Singstore was originally marketed with the idea being that once you have the game, you need not buy any more disks. Sure they want to make more sales and there are people who can’t/don’t go online but all the new song packs should be available on the store. Changing disks is so PS2!

anyone hazzard a guess as to what time today, the first update might arrive?

I went to order Volume 4 today for delivery tomorrow, ShopTo have it listed as next week, Play has it listed as end of May.
Arse.

UPDATE: Found this on the EU PS Forum
Singstar Pop has now been confirmed by the SingStar team to release on May 1st in the UK. Hopefully they can meet this date without any more delays. Some retailers seem to have their dates wrong such as amazon (24th april) & Play (29th May). But this is straight from the horses mouth.
—————————-
Hi Terry Pop Edition will now be out on the 1st of May in the UK. There’s no problem, but the date has just changed. Love SingStar Team. x
