SingStar Bundle Not good at all
Added 12/28/2009
I purchased the SingStar bundle believing I was purchasing the game with wireless microphones. But they are not wireless. The game itself is not fun, not great, and a real disappointment. It has an extreme latency with the microphones. So what you hear of your voice from the TV is several seconds later than the sound of the soundtrack. This makes it impossible to play with accuracy and no fun at all. There are no staff lines for the notes you are to be singing. There is the music video playing while you're singing which is cool, but distracting at the same time. The songs on the game are lousy choices for sining and singing as a duet. There are songs to download from online, but they cost nearly $2.00 each. Thankfully I purchased this game bundle on Amazon from a seller who was offering it at an extremely low price. So I don't feel like I was ripped off too badly. I would recommend anyone looking for a fun karaoke type game, check out any of the others. I know American Idol is fun.

Singstar keeps you from having fun
Added 11/18/2009
Not only does this game require a proprietary switch instead of simply using simple USB headsets like most modern music games. While co-op singing is allowed, the song setup is mis-mashed, and DRM locks down any songs you buy to be a one-time-only use for those files. Lose the PS3 harddrive, lose the PS3 hardware, or just plain upgrade or switch in some way, and you have to pay for every single song again. Not that you'd really want to use Singstar too much since the interface is clunky as heck. Just pick up Rock Band or Guitar/Band Hero instead. This works as a party game, but it's far too clunky for me to ever consider playing it. The music videos behind the lyrics are covered up by the interface, further adding to the 'just tacked on' approach the developers took to making this game...

This is a great game for the family, or when you have friends over socializing and you want to make it a karaoke night.

Quality if good but song selection is poor (even online)
Added 9/28/2009
I bought this about 2-3 months ago. I finally started testing it out this week. The songs on it are pretty decent. Although some of them seem a little dated now; they were recent when the product first came out a year ago. I will not fault the product because I bought it late. However, when I went online to try to buy more songs, I would have expected there to be almost everything on the top 40s within the last couple of months; heck, or even from just the past year. Most of the songs were from the 70s-90s. Although it was great to have some of those songs, I would have expected them to have more stuff that was released within the last year.
Also, even on the "easy" level, I find the speed of some of the songs still kind of fast. Also, there should be levels during the practice sessions.

Great fun for friends and family!

I bought this after playing it at a friends house. I brought it with me to see my parents. The entire family got in on it! We had a great time for HOURS playing and competing to see who could get the best score!

This is such a fun game to play! Everyone that has come over to play has gotten hooked! We love all the options and fun variety of songs. I can't wait to buy another version to add to our Singstar Collection!

All my favorite songs!
Added 1/5/2009
I was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of my favorite songs and artists on this game. Parts of it satisfied the 90s-child in me, while others were hard rock classics. The songs are varied but are for the most part a grunge/heavy metal/hard rock theme.
This game is perfect for anyone who loves karaoke. This game in particular has lots of high-energy songs and involves more shouting than crooning, making it ideal for parties. I definitely will look further into the SingStar francise.

Singstar Amped
Added 1/2/2009
This was really a lot of fun. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we went right out and purchased Singstar Pop ver 2.
