Additional tracks to cost 99p and will launch alongside game on December 7th
After a prolonged delay, the PS3 version of Sony’s popular karaoke series SingStar is finally nearing release, and Sony has at last revealed final details about the pricing and availability of extra tracks through the company’s SingStore service.
Additional songs will cost 99p a shot, and SingStore will launch alongside the game on December 7th with a total of 44 tracks. Some will be taken from the PS2 versions of the game, whilst others, from the likes of Manic Street Preachers, Zutons and Depeche Mode, will be brand new offerings.
The online component of the game is fully integrated, and will allow gamers to customise playlists and download tracks whilst they play.
Sony states that the online offering will be regularly updated with new tracks, with a second batch due to arrive on December 17th.
The game itself will retail at £24.99 for the standalone version, whilst those wanting to pick it up with two microphones can do so for £49.99.

Hope the mics are of good quality, and 99p a track? Sounds good, haven't done a comparison with what Microsoft are charging in points but they are usually rip off prices and I think Sony might do well with this.

I was expecting close to the £2.50 a tracl mark so 99p is pleasing. Just got wait and what's available for download; without decent tracks the online downloads will be a waist of time. This game is perfect for a drunken new years eve party once I've drunk too much to play Haze. Can't wait.

Do Microsoft have an equivalent game and DLC on the 360?

just recieved singstar ps3, the microphones are the same as the ps2 ones, i thought they were supposed to be wireless silver ones, bit dissapointing really, seeing as my ps3 failed when tried to first play it.
