After a silence that dates back to the infamous E3 conference of 2006, Sony has finally unwrapped some major details concerning the PlayStation 3 edition of their karaoke smash, Singstar. Firstly, Singstar will be making its way to the States this fall, with a European release scheduled for early June. While they didn't name any specifics, Sony did mention that they're working with members of the music industry to ensure a girth of content for launch.
Embodying the concept of Game 3.0 -- the theme of Phil Harrison's speech this morning -- Singstar allows users to not only download new content, but to upload their own as well. Folks from around the world will be plugging in their EyeToys or USB cameras' and shaking their money makers with their own video uploads that can be rated and commented upon from the community. A brief demonstration of Singstar revealed a pleasing interface that allowed for streaming both music and video previews of potential downloads.
