It's been a good weekend for musician-gamers, since -- along with Red Octane's Guitar Hero 3 release -- Sony is rocking the mic this weekend (in select stores) with its SingStar PlayStation 2 Pack ... no doubt trying to siphon some revenue from the console-rocker audience.  $150 bucks gets you a limited-edition Ceramic White PlayStation 2, SingStar Pop, and two microphones.  Nationwide availability is scheduled for November 4. 

Sony Computer Entertainment America announced today that the limited-edition SingStar™ PlayStation®2 Pack will be available at select retailers starting this weekend (Oct. 27-28) for $149.99 (MSRP). The SingStar pack includes a limited-edition Ceramic White PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, SingStar™ Pop (the second release in the multi-million selling SingStar™ franchise), and two high-quality microphones. Full nationwide availability of the SingStar PlayStation 2 Pack is scheduled for November 4, in time for the holiday shopping season just around the corner.

 

At such an attractive price point, this new limited-edition bundle makes social gaming more affordable than ever, and is the perfect companion to holiday get-togethers with friends and family. SingStar Pop puts players center stage in their living rooms with their favorite artists, singing duets and one-on-one battles, and even singing with up to eight players in a “Pass-the-Mic” party game. SingStar Pop also is available separately as a standalone game, with or without microphones.

 

Players who want to rock the mic on even more songs can check out three additional SingStar titles currently available in North America as standalone games: SingStar™ Rocks!, SingStar™ Amped, and SingStar™ 80’s.

 

SingStar, along with Buzz!, have proven to be successful social gaming franchises for the PlayStation 2 platform, and this new bundle delivers great value, making it easier for first-time and casual gamers in particular to experience social gaming entertainment.

 

PlayStation 2, celebrating its seventh anniversary today, continues to be the best-selling gaming system on the market with more than 120 million units shipped worldwide. A further 12 million PlayStation 2 units are expected to be sold worldwide by the end of March 2008. With more than 160 new games expected in North America throughout the holidays and by the end of March 2008 – including Guitar Hero™ Encore: Rock the 80s™, Rock Band, Buzz!™ The Mega Quiz and Buzz!™ Junior: Jungle Party –  as well as a back catalogue of over 1,400 games, the new limited-edition SingStar PlayStation 2 Pack makes for an extremely compelling package for the entire family.
