Why is everybody covering up the place your supposed to talk into on a phone to sing into the "microphone".

That drove me crazy for some reason.

The way the singstar mic's were thrown around at parties means I couldn't use a valuable breakable phone.

This is a good idea. You can feel good about owning a smartphone, you can enjoy what amounts to a very fun party game, and you don't need anything else.

As an aside, are we to expect more of these game and news announcements? If what has been released by MS and Sony so far is small fry stuff; I wonder what the REAL secrets are?

So it's like the GBA and the GameCube, but more expensive?

Great idea as long as it's not just sony phones. If it includes other models through an app, then its a brilliant idea.

Just seen on another site that it does. Hmmm, good work Sony

Holy crap, that product placement.

I know Sony really wants to market their smartphones, but making people hold the phones like that just makes them look like idiots.
