Does it track previous gameplay or will you have to start over?

My Singstar Abba just updated. The Trophies apparently are not retro-activated. The new store homepage layout is nice.

Okay, the four Home related trophies give you four different shirts. Two for males (one fairly simple one for sharing media and one for getting 5 songs over 9000 on easy), and two for females (one related to shopping and one related to giving comments to others). Sony am sexist total?
Changelog for 3.01 (which is now displayed before you download the patch):
Singstar Trophies
Access to Singstar Extras in Singstore and option to download voice control
New layout for MSO profiles
Improved mechanic for adding friends
New stuff I spotted that's not listed in the changelog:
You can now choose to auto sign-in to MSO.
New option to manage Extras (possibly so you can remove or disable voice control if you don't like it).
You can now add "favourite Singstore songs" to your MSO profile.
Voice control will be in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish only when it launches on Wednesday apparently.
The loading time is now longer after you patch it but I don't know yet if that's a on-off whilst it installs the trophies for the first time or not.

The rewards are automatically enabled in your wardrobe, although as usual they don't mark them as "new" or something so you might not immediately see them. Stupid Home.

I have Sing Star Vol 1 for PS3. How do I get Boten Anna from the Sweedish store?

Click L2 and set to any language, then you should see it. Unless it was added recently since it seems they stopped updating the US store with foreign language songs.
Hey, so I checked with our folks and the Singstar Home reward items will be showing up in your inventories on Thursday, after our weekly update. Somewhere along the line someone missed a timing window, so you gotta hold out for 3 days.
MEANWHILE ... I don't even have the game and am still waiting for it to be shipped
How difficult are the trophies, aside from the ones that require you to have insane amounts of views and votes on the online portion?

Any pictures of the new store layout?
Interesting bit about trophies. Description of those unlocking Home rewards actually specifies "(Unlocks a PlayStation Home reward)".

Thanks, Mr Jared.
Oh, and there are some difficult trophies...namely the "Score 9,000 pts. on 5 different songs in Medium/Hard" has been giving me a bit of trouble.

No problem. I don't think I'm quite allowed to take screenshots for you guys, but I don't think you'll be disappointed. The shirt is very cute: white with bright blue, red and yellow overlapping chat bubbles. It's something I'd totally wear in real life, which is something you can't say about a lot of video game shirts

Are Home rewards just clothes? What happened to that PS3 + SingStar virtual set up Harrison showed a couple of E3 ago during the press conference?
Besides, what's the point of clothes anyway? Hi-poly models load so slowly in Home you don't even notice what people are wearing unless you wait by each one them for a minute or so.

Only one shirt? What are the other 3 rewards?

All these years I've only ever played Singstar for fun. Now the trophies are out, I've been trying to nail my scores.
Well even getting above 9000 on easy seems nearly impossible to me. I've only done it on one song, another 4 to go.

Haha, so this is how SONY and SingStar are bringing down the Western civilization...
The update is awesome news though, cannot wait to get home on the weekend and try it out.
How does the voice command work?

I didn't even know it supported custom soundtracks, cool! Listening to the good, the bad, the queen now.
Hey, does anyone know why there's no feature that just lets you watch the music video? I'm guessing it's got something to do with the licensing, it seems like such an obvious and easy thing to do...

So, Singstar trophies! What a great way to start this week.
I've already achieved the Bronze and Silver Super Singer trophies, but I know that the Gold Super Singer trophy will be hard as nails to get.
Of course, it's easier to get scores over 9000 on some songs than others, and I'm currently searching for the ones that would give me the most chances to get this trophy.
So far, I've got:
- Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence
- Queen - Who Wants to Live Forever
I'm able to get about 8500 on hard difficulty on these two, and I'm sure that I will able to improve on it sooner or later, but I'd like to have more suggestions from you guys.
Some tips:
- When you're going for the highest score, just forego the lyrics and sing the whole song as "na-na-na". This makes it easier for the hardware to read the correct pitch from your voice.
- Don't try to match the singer's pitch variation for the whole duration of the song. Most likely, you're not a singer, so you won't have the same range as a professional. Instead, try to identify your range. It will probably span about two octaves. During a song, you can switch between your two octaves at will, and the hardware will still register this as the same pitch. Use this to your advantage.
Also: please visit and comment my profile, add me as a friend, and watch and rate my videos, pathetic as they may be. I'll do the same for you. My PSN name is Myke_Greywolf. Thank you all!

Best hackable songs I know of:Myke Greywolf said:
* Potbelleez - "Don't Hold Back" (Available online) For lines similar to the one heard at 0:32, the low note at the end is exactly an octave interval away from the previous note, so hold the previous note to get it spot on. My friend, who cannot sing and gets ~5000-6000 on easy, got 9,500 on the song on the first try. First time she ever got "SingStar". I got ~9,200 on hard off the top of my head.
* Pussycat Dolls - "Beep" (EU: SingStar Pop Hits PS2, Singstar PS3. US: SingStar PS3) You can get amazing scores by humming the male part. Check out the note charting to see why. As an offside, if that kid got >8,000 then anyone can.
* DJ Bobo - "Because Of You" (Available online) Haven't played it in a while, but pretty sure we got >9,000 scores on this fairly easily on the girl's part.
Tsk tsk, Wollan. The custom soundtrack feature was introduced in v2.20 (September 2008), and your only learning about it now?

LOL, I saw a vid on my Singstar of 2 guys laughing all the way through it. Fricking hilarious.

Thanks a lot, I'll look into those ones.
Meanwhile, people who would like to get the online trophies should really leave their names in this thread. Beautiful thing is, while I'm helping them get a trophy, I'm also helping myself to get another trophy.
I feel pretty bad about using hackable songs in singstar....then I remember that I did the same for Rock Band 2 vocal trophies :lol
Anyways I managed to earn singstar bronze singing the following songs:
No Surprises - Radiohead (Singstar vol 1. PS3)
Street Spirit - Radiohead (dlc)
Crying - Roy Orbison (dlc)
Only the Lonely - Roy Orbison (dlc)
Today - The Smashing Pumpkins (Singstar vol 1. PS3)
I think I can get the bonus fills trophy on one of the Roy Orbison tracks, I usually mess up only 1-2 fills.
