Sony talks My SingStar Online, Final Countdown makes the cut

Sony's Kevin Mason has shed some light on just how they plan on making the online portion for their PS3 karaoke title, SingStar, the YouTube of amateur night. As one of those Game 3.0 titles that Phil loves to talk about, SingStar is all about taking away any shred of dignity you once had and letting the citizens of the PlayStation Network have at it.

Utilizing a USB camera, SingStar will not only capture audio and video of your performance, but up to 10 pictures as well for upload to your very own My SingStar site on the PlayStation Network. Players can then choose to display their content publically or for friends only. As with YouTube you can browse the public domain, leave comments and even rate the performance of others. We just hope we're spared from video responses, which are notoriously more embarrassing than your screeching of "Final Countdown."

Speaking of which, Europe's immortal favorite will be one of the many tracks available for download. Yeah... the guy with the six-hundred dollar console is expected to shell out extra for a Europe track? COME ON!
