In Love with Singstar

I've discovered and become addicted to Singstar. I have always seen the game in stores and its always caught my eye but I never really thought about buying it. I love to sing along to songs but I suck at singing. Well today I was doing my usual round of sites and checked out the daily deals at amazon. There was nothing good in the gold boxes so I went onto the video game deal of the day. Well today it was singstar for the PS3. I've thought about getting this game but its $60 at stores with a set of mics. Well today amazon had the stand alone game for $20. I did some quick looking around online and found out that the ps2 mics work for the ps3 and I have been hearing that there is going to be a patch coming out this fall that will let you play ps2 singstars on the ps3. With all of that in mind I decided to buy the game. I have a nice little stash of amazon credit from different surveys I take so the game cost me nothing. Now I was on a mission to find mics. I figured I could find some used at gamestop for cheap. Well I was wrong. I checked out all the gamestops in the Kalamazoo area and nobody had any for sale. My closest one had 3 different singstar discs used. I took note of that and headed out to portage. I ended up picking up brand new at best buy the 90's set because it had some songs on there that I loved. I then made my way back to my gamestop and picked up the three used discs. I love buy 2 get 1 free weekends. When I got home I finished watching the NASCAR race and then went on the search for my ps2 controllers. I new I had put them away somewhere but I couldn't find where. Finally I found them downstairs in the closet and plugged everything in and started playing Singstar. I was hooked from the first song. I personally have to say its better than all of the other music games out there. I used to think Rock Band was the best but I've changed my mind. I can't wait for Tuesday to get here so I can pop in Singstar on the PS3 and check out the online singstore. I was looking at it tonight on my computer and there were quite a few songs I liked. And I can't wait for next month when the Country version comes out. You know I'm gonna be playing that one to death.

Besides the gaming I didnt really do much else today. It went by super fast and now I should be getting to bed so I can get up and go to work tomorrow morning. First I'm gonna play a couple more levels of lego batman. I gotta finish that game up soon.
