The only 2 closures announced for 2020 are both from Sony. I simply cannot believe it.

 

Also: lol at them including the affected trophies, as if they care about trophies in any way. 

[Shadiochao 3,421]

I don't really use my PS3 anymore but I hope this means they'll remove it from the home screen

[Dark771 81]

Guess we'll have to settle with Ravenscourt's Let's Sing games and THQ Nordic's WeSing after the servers are closed down.

Is there any songs i should buy now to make this plat easier before all the dlc gets taken down?

most of the songs that would make it easier are already taken down and impossible to buy. So don't even bother because at this point Singstar physical games will rather help you.

Alright. Are the songs on disc hard to get the platinum with? I doubt i can do the singing legit

Depends on the game you've got. The only disc I've had is "Dance" and I think that you can get most of the trophies easily in that one.

No problem, just be beware that (sadly) ps3 discs won't work with ps4 Singstar but there's little you can do about that since ps4 version was already kinda dead when it came out

Anyone know of a way of getting Concert Debut without the camera? In the initial release you could save and upload audio but latest patches have removed that.

 

Anyone tried downgrading to 1.0 version to see if it works?

[Atoya 1,408]

Can I get the mp trophies without a camera?

Nope, you need to get a camera for those trophies. I had to ask a friend. I did everything in about 5minutes (one song).

 

I would recommend getting “Daddy Cool” to make this platinum easier, if you’re playing on PS4. It’s the easiest song to get 100% rank, even for men without any vocal skills.

I used Dancing Queen to farm Vibrato seconds naturally  but I think any other song will do.

I hate that they are shutting it down but I thought Sony had already shut most of the game down (a lot of the songs not being available from the store). Probably the other important thing to note or wonder is if the SingStar Mic will be pulled from Android or iTunes before or after the shutdown.

[Lance_87 2,436]

This is probably the only time i'm HAPPY for a server shutdown of a Sony exclusive.

 

Hopefully they'll get rid of that XMB icon on PS3.

[POEman553 954]

This may be a dumb question, but do the songs purchased/downloaded on the US store work for the EU version? There's actually 4 stacks for this game (PS3 US, PS3 EU, PS4 US, and PS4 EU). If you really f'n love singing, may as well get the Platinum?

 

Also, keep in mind that the game doesn't use trophies until you have 10 songs in your collection. So buy SingStar Celebration or start downloading/buying tracks.

Hello man. i did upload my media after finishing my song and no trophy is popped. anything missed? 

[POEman553 954]

OK, I confirmed that US purchased content works for the UK version/download. Awesome!

You just need to make sure the songs are available on both systems 

Some PS3 Singstar songs in PSN store do not transfer to PS4 version 

 

We should make a list of the best 10 songs to each #1 that are still available on the store

You can play the same song over and over again, but you need to have 10 songs already in your collection for trophies to work.

[Man of Inaction 1,800]

This took me a while to figure out, but some of the songs I had bought in the past were not accessible anymore. In-game, if I went to them, it would say "Unavailable" where you could previously purchase or download them. When I went to the Playstation store, they were completely delisted any were unable to be searched for. However, after scrolling through my "Download List" on the PSN Store website, I found them and had the option to download to PS4. I think I'll resume working on this platinum now before the situation gets any worse.

Well they finally did it, lol

 

The servers shut down early. The game is completely delisted off every platform and all songs are no longer available for purchase.

 

If you bought any, they will be saved in your service list. The game once deleted can never be redownloaded, thus, making the plat completely unobtainable on PS3.

[Winterglemm 137]

the fucking shut down the servers early lmao

 

also accidentally ended up buying a PS3 only song that i did not have time to download to my ps3, so that's one and a half euros wasted forever lol

What made you think it was a good idea to save it until the very last day to buy the songs and try to download them?
