With the holiday shopping season right around the corner, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced that its limited-edition SingStar™ PlayStation®2 pack is now available nationwide for $149.99 MSRP. The new bundle delivers a social gaming experience out-of-the-box, including a limited-edition Ceramic White PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, SingStar™ Pop, the second release in the multi-million selling SingStar™ franchise, and two high-quality microphones.

"The SingStar PlayStation 2 pack delivers great value to consumers, giving them a new, limited-edition color PlayStation 2 and a hit game that the entire family can enjoy together, all at an attractive price point," said Peter Dille, senior vice president, marketing and PLAYSTATION®Network, SCEA.
