Sony announced today that SingStar for PS3 will finally cross the Atlantic on May 20. That little bit of information was buried deep inside a press release about Sony America's presence at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.

Coachella revellers will have the opportunity to try out SingStar and upload their embarrassing renditions of songs to the intertubes, that is, if they're not too busy viewing demos of Little Big Planet and playing some Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Sony America will also host the "TMO Tone Def Party and SingStar Lounge" on Saturday night.

It took me about 2 seconds looking at that picture to realize how much I want to kick that dude's ass. That pose just screams douchebag

Phranctoast: Apr 25th 2008; 3:18PM

It tool you that long?

BIGGEN: Apr 25th 2008; 3:32PM

i agree, mostly. while i do want to kick his ass, he is not a douchebag. he is the post-use douche.

HighFiveJesus: Apr 25th 2008; 3:38PM

predatorian234: Apr 25th 2008; 3:57PM

I've wanted to kick this guys ass from the moment I saw him.

That man's lips and face make me want to go and punch my cats. And I love my cats.

AtomicPlayboy: Apr 26th 2008; 1:04PM

Was just about to post the same. Please, Joystiq, for the love of all that is good in human in this world, stop using that damned SingStar picture. That fucking dipshit with the mic fills me with violent rage far more than all the murder simulators I play combined!

I wonder if Fernando I hates the PS3 because they took a picture of him and stuck it on the cover of this game.....

Seriously, stfu.

Jakub, you wouldn't know funny if it jumped out of your fruit loops and taught you how to be funny.

kbomb1upc: Apr 25th 2008; 4:46PM

JakubK666 is just upset that Fernando is a better Sony basher then he is... Don't worry its enough Sony butt to kiss for everyone.

I believe my "funnay" is perfectly fine.No need to flame me just because of a SDF vs MDF conflict.

And if I write something which can be perceived as "trolling", it's usually right on topic and doesn't flame another user for no reason.

kbomb1upc: Apr 25th 2008; 4:58PM

@JakubK666
....right, no one ever trolls here...just like everyone in prison is innocent...

JakubK666 (Ninja Defence Force): Apr 25th 2008; 5:00PM

Well...if having a controversial/unique opinion on a subject is considered trolling then yes I am guilty.

Oh wait, sorry about my Bush Post...I was bored.

He sports a mullet though.

Douchémon.

Rock Band > Singstar

Joeshie: Apr 25th 2008; 3:49PM

I don't think anyone will disagree with you on that.

jsn: Apr 25th 2008; 3:49PM

glory be unto Rock Band!

matthew_neitzer: Apr 25th 2008; 3:52PM

Unless you want to sing a song that isn't Rock... but then who would want to do that?

el serpiente: Apr 25th 2008; 4:38PM

Tang > Kool-Aid

Tiptup300: Apr 26th 2008; 3:41PM

Sing Star Song Release Count > Rock Band Release Count
Amount of people who cares < People who don't

JakubK666 (Ninja Defence Force): Apr 25th 2008; 4:09PM

Is the it going to be released in EU after 6-months too?

Peter Johnston: Apr 25th 2008; 4:29PM

Man, didn't Rage Against the Machine play at last year's Coachella festival?

Zoesch: Apr 25th 2008; 4:38PM

Yep, the funky demagogue played at coachella last year (If you don't get the reference, google it, it's form one of the bands that Rage copied stylistically).

Seattle Yonkers: Apr 25th 2008; 4:51PM

Any word on the playlist?

I would actually prefer this to Rock Band ... seeing as it offers genres other than rock.

Microswirl: Apr 25th 2008; 6:40PM

I'm especially looking forward to "Lovefool" by The Cardigans and "Buddy Holly" by Weezer

Killswitch On: Apr 25th 2008; 5:56PM

more like GAYSTAR or QUEERSTAR

Rususeruru: Apr 25th 2008; 6:46PM

Thank you Mister Subtlety.

they should have moved the blonde in the front.

GoonieGooGoo: Apr 26th 2008; 8:00AM

I still do not understand the allure of SINGSTAR.

Sure the Europeans love it....but then again they love THE HOFF.
