Singstar Update Allows for Backwards Compatibility

Dust off that copy of Singstar Bollywood as the latest patch for the PlayStation 3 karaoke title breathes new life into your PS2 discs.

Happy anniversary, dozens and dozens [http://www.singstargame.com/en-gb/LanguageSelector/] of releases, right?

Well, not quite, but today Sony issued a Summertime [http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/12/16/exciting-news-on-singstar-backwards-compatibility/]" by the DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

In order get this crazy bit of technology working, all you have to do is connect to the PlayStation Network via Singstar and download the new update. Once completed, you can then freely swap the PlayStation 3 disc with a PlayStation 2 disc for the rest of your session as many times as you please. Finally, all the Elton John [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuB8xWeA59I] I could ever ask for, all in one karaoke marathon.

I can't stand singstar, or lips, most singers make my ears bleed.

One minor disappointment with this update is that movies made on the PS3 with PS2 songs can NOT be uploaded to your MySingStar Online space. If you want to upload your version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart", you will still have to buy it from the SingStore, for now.

Still, I'm impressed, I was fully expecting them to try to sell us the whole lot again!

I now just want to sing "Best of You" by the Foo Fighters. Awesome song. It even got turned into a meme.
