No, it's not worth buying a PS3 for on it's own, but it is another good reason to buy a PS3. Singstar is a much better title to play at a party than Guitar Hero or a Wii (unless you are talking about a gamers type of party) - Singstar is much more appealing to non gamers than Guitar Hero or the Wii.

Yeah, more people are familiar and comfortable with the concept of karaoke than with the concept of dicking around with plastic instruments.

It's only 48,000 free machines at £250 each. disappointing.

Remember, Sony get them at manufacturing cost not retail! So the console would only cost only about £300.... Oh wait.
