I do think that Abba is an unusual first choice for the SingStar, as far as band-specific compilations go, but I'd be a liar if I said I didn't like the band. SingStar Abba has arrived for both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2, with the PS2 version featuring five fewer songs and no online gameplay. As you can see, despite hitting it big on the PlayStation 3 already, the SingStar franchise will continue to live on the PS2 for quite sometime and there are still a number of SingStar games to look forward to."
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has revealed the ‘Sing for your Summer’ promotional tour for SingStar on PlayStation 3. As part of the promotion, visitors to HMV stores will get the opportunity to win tickets to one of the UK’s popular summer festivals, and attendees of those festivals will get the opportunity to get their party started with the help of SingStar.

It was earlier today that Sony revealed that karaoke classic SingStar was due to receive an Online Battle mode, due to be introduced in an update available in June.
However those that love to sing to their hearts content can gain access to the new mode prior to this, by applying to participate in the Beta.

"Today, I'm really pleased to be able to talk to you about SingStar Viewer, a great new SingStar app coming soon to PlayStation Store.
With SingStar Viewer, you can browse and purchase from SingStore, and watch, rate and review uploaded video clips, photos and profiles in the MySingStarOnline community – all without needing to have a SingStar disc in your PS3. "
