Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has announced the release of a new update for SingStar that will take the game up to version 4.30.

While the update brings a host of new additions, it’s also important to note that it also fixes the missing songs / videos and other issues a number of users found with the previous version update.

“We’re really sorry that we caused these errors in the last SingStar update, and want to thank all of you for being so patient while these problems were being fixed and tested thoroughly. Your feedback to us on these problems has been invaluable, so thank-you! Hopefully, once you’ve updated you’ll find everything back to normal,” said Rob Rutter, SCEE product manager.

Here’s what’s new.
