Great first question!
I really hopes she comes into this forum and reads the comments.
I've never owned Singstar and there have always been reasons that have held it back for me. One - wireless mics - where are they at? It looks like they are never coming?
Two - Why can't we get some really new songs on the Singstore - every update I look at the song list and its generally old stuff. It would be great to get some Top 40 stuff as that is what I am singing to right now. And this is Sony with a huge music department as well. Leona Lewis, Chris Brown, Jordin Sparks, Newton Faulkner, One Republic... new stuff and REALLY turn it into a karaoke machine.
Three - only 30 seconds for videos with the eye toy? - maybe if you got to choose where the 30 seconds were that would be better - i don't understand why it is random. Full videos should also be an option.

I'll second the comment about wireless mics.
I'm holding off on buying the game till these come out and I'm beginning to wonder if that's ever going to happen at the moment...

They're being very 'No Comment' about wireless mics at the moment. I mean, they keep confirming that they are going to happen, but refuse to put any sort of timeline on it.
Maybe they'll release with Singstar: Volume 3?

I wonder if the wireless mic delay is a general problem with getting wireless microphones working in the game, or if it's more about creating a good pair of quality wireless microphones that doesn't push the price of the game over $120 ?

I believe it's a combination of both. They are still aiming at that casual demographic more than anything, and the RRP of the game with wired mics is already $99.95. Wireless microphones could push that initial price up to something like $119.95 or even $129.95, which could be a little bit daunting.
That being said, Wii Fit is aimed at the casual market too, and that's got a RRP of $149.95 and is doing very well. Then again, the Wii is an entirely different monster at the moment, and those people that are interested in SingStar probably already have wired mics, so trying to sell them wireless ones for an elevated price may be more difficult than you'd think.

man, if they released a Singstar: "Cheesy Songs/One Hit Wonders" or Novelty Songs game, it would most certainly be the first Singstar game i'd buy.

Im very happy to singstar to be sticking to its own guns, Id definitely hate it if they decided to add more instruments like another franchise that was once loved.
So many thanks to Paulina and Singstar for doing something this generation that actually contributes to the community,instead of dictating there fanbase (Im looking at you, GH and Nintendo).

Luke, I think they should offer two different bundles - say a wired version for $99 and wireless for say $129. Or even just keep the wired bundle, but then sell the wireless mics seperately for people who really want to have them. These people can also purchase the standalone copy of the game.
Wireless mics is just really important as controllers these days are all wireless so the distance to everybody's TVs are going to vary. Also people tripping over cords at a party is not good and passing wireless mics around is a much better experience.

Loco Roco songs! That would be AWESOME!!
I'm definitely a SingStar addict, and when I do pick up a PS3, I'll be getting SingStar for sure, hopefully by then they will have released the wireless mics, we're had a few instances at parties of cords getting tangled and drunken people tripping.
