One thing concerns me about Sony's next gen SingStar plans, and it's not the hours of humiliation that I intend to rack up. It's this paragraph included in MCV's announcement coverage:
... there will be the ability to upload performances recorded with the EyeToy camera and photo images to Sony's My SingStar online community, and even transfer the footage to PSP for humiliation on the move.
From what I've heard from industry insiders, Microsoft chose not to include a feature like this on their Live community because they wouldn't be able to screen the content for "appropriateness". Knowing what I do about the debauchery that surrounds SingStar sessions, there could be plenty of 18-rated content.
I do hope Sony will expand on their plans soon.
