Good morning, evening or afternoon depending on when you read this. This PlayStation.blog is tailor made to be perfect for any time of the day, so if you just got in from the club or just wiping the sleep from your eyes you can check it out and be informed and educated about all the new videos and features on the one and only VidZone… I have one word for that opener… cheesy… but then… who doesn’t like cheese?
FIRST OF ALL
AC/DC does not give digital services rights to use their music or videos… of which we are one of those services… That’s a fact… UNTIL NOW!!! For the forthcoming release of the new Iron Man 2 movie AC/DC has allowed us to use the new video to their classic “Shoot To Thrill”. Like it? Thought so!

Hiya and welcome to this weeks SingStore update
As always, you can find the full tracklisting below so I will keep this one short and sweet. There’s some more Lionel Richie (if you didn’t think the SongPack was enough) with ‘You Are’ and Truly’ plus cool tracks from the awesome Wolfmother, Pixi Lott, The Human League and Desmon Dekker. All in all, a nice little mix, don’t you think!?
The best thing ever this week however is the rockin’, rollin’ Stereophonics SongPack which includes five of their finest hits, from classic ‘Maybe Tomorrow’ to more recent material such as ‘Innocent’ and ‘Could You be The One?’.
And that’s not all folks because with this SongPack we are also launching an exclusive Stereophonics competition. All you have to do is upload a video of yourself performing any of the Stereophonics tracks from the SongPack to MySingStar Online and you’ll automatically be entered into the competition.
Keep on checking the blog, ingame and singstargame.com for more info, prizes and another very special Stereophonics announcement.
Cheerio,
Nina xx
