i think you didn't look at the ad clearly enough because it says that those games are $10 with the singstar package purchase...meaning you have to buy the mics and original game. >:( but on the otherhand it seems that is not being enforced online but price matching may be a problem if you bring the flyer so best to use a web print out.

[Solidus Snake]

I just ordered all 3 online without any full packages for 9.99 each.

mistake? hell yeah... :lol:

i was wondering how long it'd take for s/b to notice :)

do i have to put "price error" in title to get more attention? ;)

[porkchopbread]

yeah....if it's an error, i'd bet someone would fix it tomorrow....anyways, i picked up the 80's version and the rock version....the songs on amp weren't that good....ordered online too, just in case someone at the store says something about it having to be part of a bundle....

thanks mjm!

[Rosico]

rock version is now OOS at FS.

[octacon]

seems to all be stock online here. :confused:

[mahjongmaniac]

rock version is now OOS at FS.

order for ISPU ;)

---------

seems to all be stock online here. :confused:

he's ref'ing to this:

Online Availability: Out of Stock: Will ship when available

you can still order at that price, but it's on B/O

[mdc3000]

My sister has been wanting to get Singstar for a while - now with this sale maybe I'll actually pick them up - maybe get some gaming use out of the PS3 for once.

[Stock R]

Thanks OP! Ordered Amped and 80's since I already have rock.

-For those of you who don't already have a singstar package, you may want to see if the karaoke revolution type mics will work for this game. I haven't tried myself, but the microphone set for my singstar is completely different than my k-rev.

[_pOtEnZa_]

thxx OP, i wonder if the mic from teh game get on da mic will work with this...

-For those of you who don't already have a singstar package, ...

the last amazon deal i think they were selling the Singstar pkg (w/ mic) for $10... that was pretty hot considering FS/BB usually sells the game w/ mic for ~$50-60

i jumped in on that deal and bought one of 'em


sadly, it still hasn't been played :o

lol i'll buy the pkg w/mic off you

[jiggajayd]

Just bought both 80's and Amped (just the game) online and picking up instore (Winnipeg, St. James location). I got the original Singstar with mic package back in Feb when Amazon.ca was selling for $10 too!! :razz:

[mahjongmaniac]

lol i'll buy the pkg w/mic off you

sorry, but i think i might be giving it away as a present to my lil cousin... :P


you can hope for the next great amazon $10 deal :D

[jiggajayd]

i recall seeing the Singstar with Mic package at RCSS for $29.99 at one point, i'm not sure if it was just sale or they were trying to clear them out. It was either at the Bison or Grant Location in Winnipeg a few months ago.

[kid_icarus]

thanks for getting back to me =)

i ended up cancelling my ISPU cuz i'm just gonna wait for the ps3 version that comes out in a month... lol

[Wasgo]

Anyone got a good deal on Singstar Pop with mics nows? :cheesygri

[jonkaho]

these games scan as 34.99 at Future Shop, they will probally match the website.

[jasonchan]

Did an instore pickup, no problems - Thanks OP!

The Karaoke Revolution (and On Da Mic) microphones do NOT work with Singstar (or vice versa).

[vas201]

Picked up my order at lunch, downtown Montreal
$9.99 each, no probs

[sfu_lifer]

The Karaoke Revolution (and On Da Mic) microphones do NOT work with Singstar (or vice versa).
Thanks MJM. Ordered Amped and 80s since i already have the "rock" package that doesn't really rock :(
As for the mic incompatibility, blame Sony. They decided to lock out the Karaoke Revolution guys so those other guys had to go normal USB which was a way better choice IMO.

[CHINAdeals]

gosh bestbuy is stupid

their customer service is the worst.

took so long to pm one game. so much yellow tape. and i had to mention the other 10% to get it too. so weak.

bb for pm . is ftl. just gonna pick up the other ones at FS ..less hassle.

now to get the mikes!

[green_paper]

Agreed. I have most of the Karaoke Revolution games and 2 USB microphones, and was interested in the Singstar series until I realized I would have to buy 2 more mics - mics that would ONLY work with the Singstar series! Talk about stupid.

Maybe that's why these Singstar games are being cleared out. :)

[Tron Javolta]

Blockbuster has the microphone packs for $49.99, so you could price match at FS/BB for $44.99. Not a great deal but cheaper than the $59.99 they're listed at.

[Moebiwankenobi]

anyone know if these work on the PS3?

[Tron Javolta]

Yeah they do work on the PS3, I was using them with my wife today. The only issue I've had so far is with "Paint it Black", which froze up on me.

They are apparently releasing wireless mics with a new PS3 singstar in the next month or so if you want to wait, though.

[Wasgo]

Thanks OP!

Not only did I pick them up no problem, but they gave me the copies with the mics. I told them I thought it was the game only ones, but the guy was sure that it said on the pickup order the full game. Since I'd already tried to do the right thing, I wasn't going to argue. Score!

wireless mics would be awesome! Especially if they are bluetooth, you maybe able to used them on the PC :) Thanks, I'll keep my eye open.

[Wasgo]

If anyone in the Vancouver area wants to take advantage of the price, but doesn't have the mics, I'm willing to sell my two extra sets for $25 each. PM me if interested.

[rogue]

Thanks OP...went in to pick them tonite....price still rung up as $35 for them....quoted SCOP ...they refunded my money and walked out with 3 free games.

if it's .X9, then it's not a clearance. prbly a new low price.

clearance at RCSS is indicated by .X4

yellow tape??

--------

Maybe that's why these Singstar games are being cleared out. :)

i don't think they're really being cleared out at FS.

$10 is a promo price w/ purchase of the Singstar $60 pkg :)

--------

um... i'm not getting how you're obtaining the $45 PM price.

the price diff. is $10, so 10% of that is only $1.

more like $49 for PM :)

[kuqdew]

good deal

[dave009]

mjm....i think you mean (*09/28 - 10/04*) :cheesygri

i almost skipped the line thinking it was just threadcrapping on an old thread :lol:

thanks for the hot deal!

[mahjongmaniac]

Thanks OP!

:-0

wow... that's some pretty bad screw up there.

i thought they find the items based on SKU/webID? if the item scanned has the exact matching SKU then what's posted on your ISPU order conf. sheet.... guess not :razz:

congrats. $10 would be the same deal as the Amazon deal in Feb.

now that's hot since they're selling for $60 reg. price

--------

Thanks OP...went in to pick them tonite....price still rung up as $35 for them....quoted SCOP ...they refunded my money and walked out with 3 free games.

SCOP?

interesting. however the hell that worked out. the flyer clearly says $10 w/ the $60 pkg purchase.

and it doesn't apply to website advertised prices AFAIK.

[mahjongmaniac]

mjm....i think you mean (*09/28 - 10/04*) :cheesygri

ahh yes... thx... :D

fixed ;)

[CHINAdeals]

yellow tape??

-)


like so much hassle..

she was like the manager says we should.but if its too low of a price we shouldn't do it.

so lame..the difference is 'too great'.if it was only 10 dollars.not a big deal. what idiots.

spent 30 min 'verifying' stock.t o make sure its not just an ONLINE sale. and an instore one. etc.

gosh.

pretty surprising though. i think amped + 80's JUST got released

I think you meant "red tape" but we get your meaning. I hate wasting my time and energy (and gas) PM'ing so I just buy where the original sale was.
I like Amped and 80s. Good songs compared to "Rocks". And I found there is a slight delay with the video when I'm playing it on PS3 (Amped). Kind of threw me off in the beginning. I know Guitar Hero has a setting to adjust for this delay. I wish Singstar would introduce that feature as well.

oh god... not the "price below cost" BS... looks like they've learned a new tactic off of FS/BB :-0

the same rules apply: nowhere on their policy says "below cost" = "no PM"

i'm sure they can figure that out.

i know seriously .just employees who dont' know how to do their job. i love ppl who are compotent. and vice versa :X

[Lint1976]

Just got Amped and 80's for $22.78 FS Pickup.

THanks OP!!

[porkchopbread]

The Karaoke Revolution (and On Da Mic) microphones do NOT work with Singstar (or vice versa).



crap i read that message a bit too late....my order has already shipped! thought i can use the logitech mic....damn!!!! oh well, try and look for a good deal on some mics now

[mahjongmaniac]

you'd still have 30 days to return it instore if it's unopened. except that you lose out on the s/h

yeah.....$3 shipping....hmmm....wonder if i can take them to BBV??

[mahjongmaniac]

haven't had time to check TIVs yet... but i'll be checking them for both BBV/EBG :D

if $8+ at EBG, might be good filler games for the T6GIF DSL promo :)

[porkchopbread]

well, i find that BBV usually gives you retail minus 50% (at least last year they did)...so assuming that they're at least going to sell it for $20, i think i should be able to break even.....

i don't think i have too many $8 i'm willing to part with for the DS....besides, already have one :cheesygri

[Moebiwankenobi]

Only Amp'd is showing up with a TIV of $10, rocks and 80's are not showing up in their systems with a used price. I called 2 stores and same answer, I'm thinking of bringing mine in and seeing if it will scan. That's pretty hot to use as a T3G1F deal.

^that'd be the scenario *at best*,... i.e. it could be lower.

i think most of us game traders are well aware of that. they resell for at least 2X the TIV

chances are, there might be some abbrev. and/or word missing that would contribute to a missing result

for e.g., some of the Disney's games they need Disney in front of the title else they wouldn't be able to find it in their system. like Chicken Little, they need to look up "Disney's Chicken Little"

[purple_rabbit]

Sweet deal, picked up Amped and 80's for the woman. She's such a singstar addict lol

[mahjongmaniac]

looks like this deal's dead online... price has gone back up.

surprised FS took so long.


i guess this one's pretty much dead as you can't ISPU and the price instore will prbly be scanning in at the normal price.


congrats to everyone who got the deal :)

[Linchpin]

Thankfully I cashed in while I still had the chance (Saturday).

Went to FS St. James, got 2 copies in-store of Amped and 1 copy of 80's (without ordering online). Quoted SCOP and got 1 copy of Amped for free (!) and the second copy of Amped as well as 80's for $9.99 each.

Thanks OP!

thns OP got mines

FS in Waterloo doesn't honor the SCOP anymore.they took down their stickers

is that just BS or can retailers do that?

[porkchopbread]

$15 trade in value at bbv.....rather than buying a mic, i just traded it in....considering i paid about $13 after shipping and taxes for it, it's not bad for a mistake....

SCOP?

but the advertisement is not "just $10".. it's $10 w/ purchase of the bundle pkg. $60

technically spking it shouldn't have applied.
