Download: InstallPKG_FUSS (Base) / InstallPKG_FUSS (Full) / SingStar PKG Updates

The installPKG installer allows PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware (CFW) users who have been unable to delete the SingStar XMB icon to simply install the application in its place.

To quote: In order to install the installPKG application though, users will need to allow their PS3s to have Internet access in order to download the SingStar package, or alternatively, users will need to download an offline SingStar package and install it in order to use the package-installing application in its place.

For more information on how to use the application, read the read-me below:
