JoySound for the PS3! Updated: It’s Region locked! TT-TT

Update: I have downloaded Joysound Dive and to my disappointment, It’s region locked. I’m very sorry for making so many happy for nothing.

Have a PS3 at home and nothing to play on it for now (waiting for FFXIII-2 or disappointed by ACE Combat 5)? Now you can use your PS3 as a Karaoke~

You can now download the free Joysound App from the Playstation Store and enjoy its 78,000 songs. Usually it will cost you 300 Yen(~SG$6) for a day or 1000 Yen(SG$16) for 30 days.

But now till the 19th of December, the maker XING is making all song free as a promotion campaign.

All you need is a Japanese PSN account and a USB microphone.

That is not all… The software, Joysound Dive, also includes a function that allows for music and video playback as well as a function named “Layer Mixer”. It allows for the multi-muxing of video feeds from the PS3’s hard drive.

Naturally, this application also allows you to record and replay your own singing~

Well I’ll be checking it out after work, will you?

PLAYSTATION 3, It’s only does everything~

    I saw somewhere that if you use a Japan PS3 like the Tales of Xillia one…the game can be played.  So its a hardware lockout not an IP lockout.

          I have a Japanese PS3 and I downloaded the ~2gb app from the Japanese PSN, it runs and everything. So far I have tried searching for various songs (works) and sang one of the “trial” songs (works), however I cannot confirm if I can successfully stream a random song from the catalogue as the trial song could be preinstalled.

          Still I’m a bit confused by the “region lock” does it stop you from downloading the app or does it stop you from running it, or just blocks you from streaming a song? Because I have never heard of PSN stopping you from downloading and installing a game  on any region PS3 provided you have created a Japanese PSN account.

            Thanks for the information! I take it that you are not in Japan yah?

            The region lock works by not enabling you to run the app prompting a region lock msg instead of running the software.

            Also more there are 78000 songs online in the library. I’m sure you should have no problem finding a non preloaded song. It’s free for now anyway.

            Yeah I’m not from Japan, otherwise my comment would’ve been useless.

            Oh I see, so then it must be a machine lock and not an IP lock as I have a Japanese PS3 and have successfully launched the app.

            Yeah It’s free right now in that you can get a free 24hr ticket pass, I haven’t tried the other 78,000+ songs as I didn’t want to waste the ticket. I think will try and see if the trial songs are preloaded or not by pulling my LAN cable and try selecting one of those songs and see if it still works.

    Can anybody confirm that a Japanese PS3 will work abroad, for example in the US, for Joysound Dive?
    I have heard it is both a hardware lock and a IP lock.
    Has anybody streamed songs throught the catalogue from the US?
    Any info would be helpful.
