From Kotaku:
An MTV Games/Harmonix spokesperson e-mailed Kotaku a statement this morning denying the existence of the SingStar Fab Four edition, which was reported by British gaming news outlet MCV earlier this week. SingStar, for those who aren’t familiar is Sony’s successful karaoke game series, which has seen numerous themed editions around the world.
“Contrary to the rumored reports, there is no Singstar: Beatles software product. There is only “The Beatles: Rock Band” hitting shelves worldwide on 9/9/09 on Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii in which players can play as a singing game or as a full band game.”
We were informed that the company is considering special microphone packs […]
Disregarding the Singstar rumor bit, we think it would be a stroke of genius to have a microphone-only package for The Beatles: Rock Band.
If the sight of plastic guitars and drums give you thoughts of cluttered living rooms and broken dreams, a version that provides enough for a lead singer and backup may be more accessible than the normal pack with all that fake equipment.
It s one of those ideas that seems so obvious, and we hope they go this route for gamers who just don t feel the need to (fake) rock out.
