SingStar games on disc for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 are distributed either as the software alone, or bundled with a pair of USB microphones – one red, one blue; wireless microphones are also available. The games are compatible with the EyeToy, PlayStation Eye, and PlayStation 4 cameras, allowing players to see and record themselves singing. The PSP (PlayStation Portable) was also able to manage a playlist in realtime, where users were able to queue songs they wanted to sing, so the decisions weren't made between songs, leading to fewer breaks. SingStar was so popular Sony began bundling the game with slim PlayStation 2s, and from its first appearance in 2004 there would go on to be over 20 SingStar games released, some based on genres, others on certain bands, others on entire decades of music. It has, in Europe and Australia alone, sold more than 16 million copies. Mason, Kevin (16 April 2007). "My SingStar Online". IGN. Archived from the original on 6 June 2007 . Retrieved 17 June 2007.

The first game demonstration took place at a Team SCEE conference in Paris, featuring the songs " Wonderwall" by Oasis and " Independent Women" by Destiny's Child.

The space is called "The SingStar Rooms" and featured a dance floor, a jukebox, and different rewards for the users. [23] It was available to the European and North American versions of PlayStation Home.The range of songs (which come with their original video) is a strange mixture, from the modern Liberty X and Sophie Ellis Bextor, to A-Ha and Elvis, to Motorhead (and yes, the Village People are in there too). There doesn’t seem to be a theme to the music other than "mixture", which might put some people off - it seems to be a scatter-gun approach to hitting the target market. Miller, Greg (May 19, 2008). "SingStar Review (PS3)". IGN. Archived from the original on November 30, 2017 . Retrieved December 18, 2017. The sad fact about playing retro consoles is that the graphics are never as good as you remembered. I recently played Mario Party 4 on the GameCube and couldn’t ever believe I thought those graphics were ‘cutting edge’. Wireless game play is something that we all look for in a console these days. It is, after all, what every console should have. Right?
