Today's Bonus:
A very affordable way to add a second mic to your PS3 for playing Singstar and Karaoke Revolution games, at a fraction of the price of those brands' microphones. The one caveat is that although this item is sold as a twin microphone pack, that is misleading for anyone who thinks that they can buy a standalone Singstar/Karaoke Revolution game and then buy this microphone set and instantly be able to sing duets, because the PS3 treats these as a SINGLE microphone. Your duets will consist of you and another person singing through the same "channel." You will not be able to sing in Battles or TRUE duets like you would if you were to purchase two original microphones. In my case, I already had one microphone for Singstar and one for Karaoke Revolution--all I needed was a second one. So, to remedy the problem, I leave one of the twin-pack microphones unplugged, and it operates fine as the secondary microphone for your opponent or singing companion.
In addition, these microphones work with no problem with BOTH Singstar and Karaoke Revolution, at least on the PS3.
In all, a very reasonable purchase for the investment--so long as you buy this item INFORMED as to what it will do (and what it won't) when you actually use it. The misleading wording on the packaging is probably intended to bolster sales, but it's still misleading and carefully worded to cover any claims of outright false advertising. So, take this into consideration when buying the item.
And if you're curious as to whether this is a negative or a positive Opinion, it is a Positive one... but only because I knew ahead of time what to expect, and I already had a primary microphone for the Singstar and Karaoke Revolution games. I am simply pointing out the "catch" to save someone else from being disappointed if they are seeing this item listing and thinking it will provide them with both a primary and a secondary microphone pair: it won't.
