Sony flooded with PS3 'SingStar' complaints

Karaoke game SingStar has caused outrage among PlayStation 3 gamers after Sony failed to deliver with its promised updates for the game.

Released on December 7, Sony promised buyers of the game that more than 350 songs would be available for download. However, this failed to happen, causing fans to sign a complaints petition.

Responding to the criticisms, Sony issued a statement in which it vowed to have new content available from today, with more to follow in early February.

The statement reads: "SingStar fans have been asking when the SingStore will be populated with more songs.

"Our original vision, as outlined in early preview coverage of SingStar, was to have more than 350 songs available on the SingStore. We are working hard to increase the volume of content as quickly as possible.

"Eighteen new tracks will be live in the SingStore from January 18 - 15 English and 3 Spanish tracks - including songs from KT Tunstall, David Bowie and Blur. This will be followed by an update the week of February 4, including tracks from The Editors and MC Hammer, and we will be updating the SingStore with new content twice monthly thereafter."
