MCV: Following on from reports of a pending arrival for the long-awaited wireless microphones for Sony's SingStar, SCEE has confirmed to MCV that an early 2009 arrival is indeed on the cards.
Those of you that haven't bought SingStar yet because you are waiting for the mythical wireless mics may be in for a bit of a surprise.
NOTE: The update may not go live until 18 December 2008.

Three Speech reports:
Sony hasn't fallen behind in the social gaming race, it has insisted.
While the world waits patiently for SingStar Queen, Sony have gone and done the next best thing, and released two Queen song packs onto the PS3's downloadable SingStore. The ten songs included across the two packs will most probably all be found on the standalone PS2 version, and from the look of them, it's a highlights reel, with Bohemian Rhapsody, One Vision, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions and I Want It All included.
A patch went out for SingStar a few hours ago which allows users of the popular music game to swap discs to access the content from other SingStar titles. However, this patch will only enable PS3 game discs to be swapped -- not PS2 games. (We're assuming that PS2 functionality will come at a later point.) For Americans that doesn't mean much, as SingStar Volume 2 won't be available until next month.
The next update for the Singstore on Singstar PS3 has now been revealed, stick out songs include Kiss from a Rose by Sea, Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader and Five's Everybody Get Up, the full list is below for your reading pleasure.
Colin T. from Infinite Bits talks about how horribly mangled SingStar's DRM system is for its downloadable songs:
Give it up for Southampton, UK. About 50 brave souls will sing every SingStar song on the PS2 and PS3 discs in the order in which they were released. All of them. One after the other. Non-stop.

From PS3Attitude, guest writer Alexander Chalkidis attends Sony's Leipzig keynote speech and writes:
Two weeks have passed, and thus another SingStar update has arrived. In what may come as some unsurprising news, this particular update features not-so-many new tracks and includes mostly songs that have featured on past PlayStation 2 SingStar compilations, including a couple that have appeared on Volume 1 of the PS3 version.
