No idea, but that'd be awesome.

IDK, they probably just want to make sure that you are telling them the truth maybe? :S
Either way, I read my songs off the Services List (under Account Management, which you can access from a browser) So there was no confusion there.
Funny thing, the CSR didn't know most of the songs and only recognized "Eye of the Tiger" lol
The Facebook group has confirmed that there have been two last minute switches to the Pop tracklisting (which might explain the change in release date):
Out:
Black Kids - I'm Not Going To Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance
N*E*R*D - Sooner Or Later
In:
Madness - It Must Be Love
Nelly feat. Fergie - Party People
It's still out this Friday in the UK.

I want to know when the next non-specific title is being launched for the US? Seriously! I'm grateful that Queen has finally been announced, but we still haven't gotten a Vol. 3 and now Pop is coming out. One release behind was fine and made a bit of sense, but now we are three releases behind.. wtf SCEA?

Been wanting to ask this for ages but thanks to being banned...
I've had Singstar for a couple of months (great game) and to begin with I've never had any problems. My problem? The singstore always freezes for me and I have to quit the game. I can play any of my songs without issue but the store almost always locks up for me. I've looked around the net and I don't appear to be the only one to experience this. Is it a problem with the singstore servers? I've tried deleting all singstore content like the save file, patches and bought content but it still happens.

Got Singstar Queen, Singstar Pop and the wireless mics today.
Singstar Queen obviously has more songs but as usual they are fairly impossible to sing to. I think you'd be better off waiting for the downloads. Singstar Pop (which used to be known as Vol 4?) has a fairly good selection of songs not already available.
The mics themselves seem fine but being slightly bigger than the originals and made from a slippery plastic they might be harder to hold. Range seems fine, I took one around the house while singing a song. There's also some annoying sound when you're handling the mic as if it's too sensitive, but maybe that can be changed with settings?

Hopefully we'll get some new Britney songs at some point - pack re-releases are boring.
Anyway, still only two for me this week: Too Many Broken Hearts and Shake It.
Singing TMBH will make you feel like a bona fide pop sensation.

Downloaded Metro Station - "Shake It" and Empire of the Sun - "Walking on a Dream" today...felt guilty for buying MS...they're a horrible band, but damn, that album is catchy. I blindly bought Walking on a Dream, and damn...I went ahead and bought the whole album earlier...kickass album.

I rang customer support, explained my problem. They got me to provide the job reference number for my PS3 repair, email address, date of birth. Their system showed my 91 songs and 1 wallpaper, so they put in the request for clearance. Didn't need to read out the list to them or anything ridiculous like that.
High five for liking an Australian band.drtomoe123 said:
What did you think of the video quality of Metro Station? I read elsewhere that someone wasn't happy with it, and even the preview for it looks kind of dodgy.

I was wondering if that was just me. It seems to be missing frames - very jumpy throughout.
It's the only video I've ever bought that looks like that.
I'm awful at the song, by the way. :lol I know the song, I have the album, but I'm unusually awful at singing it. It's the timing.
Tntnnbltn said:Sometimes they just release a really shitty transfer. I'm tempted to delete my song from Jet just because it's so bad.
Where'd you get yours from? (Why hunt around for bargains when I can leach from you?
I got them from a mate who works at a store, and used his staff discount :lol
How do I go about deleting a song? I'd like to delete and re-download Modest Mouse's Ocean Breathes Salty, but I can't find where to do it. (The vocals don't seem synchronized, and I'm hoping a re-download will fix it.)Tntnnbltn said:Sometimes they just release a really shitty transfer.

Also, did the latest update remove custom soundtracks for the menu screens?

i have used one and never had an issue, switched to wireless though, can never go back
and as far as SCEA at least with refunding the songs, i had a different situation, i got a new PS3 and they still did it for me, the guy on the phone gave me trouble, but i also opened a ticket on the web, and the guy who responded to that took care of me quickly, had to fax my receipt and upc of the new console to a fax number along with my email and psn ID. Was ready for me to go in about 3-5 days after that.
If you go into Play then Options there a tab for Manage Content. That's where you can delete songs from. Unfortunately, any problem with the video syncing won't be fixed by redownloading. If the song loads when you press X to play it, then it downloaded as it was meant to.woodypop said:

I got my 3rd and 4th over-9000's on hard mode yesterday:
- ABBA - "Take a Chance on Me" (backup part - used the Casio for this one, but it shouldn't be impossible to get it normally, as long as you are able to take enormously deep breathes)
- Coldplay - "The Scientist" (I got this one legitimately, yay!)
Only one more to get the Super Singer Gold trophy!

Holy crap at Singstar Queen! Is that for the Ps2 too? What is the tracklist?
EDIT: The Ps3 has 5 more songs eh? There are tons of great stuff missing from the tracklist but I might eventually get around to playing it.
