For singing videos, is it better to have the iCE or the regular Snowball?

The iCE will probably work better for solo recording. Unlike the original Snowball, the iCE is not omnidirectional, so it picks up mostly what you are aiming at. For a group recording, the Snowball would be better. However, the Snowball can be toggled between directional and omnidirectional, which might be useful in future recordings. If you can budget it, get the Snowball.

USB real estate is at a premium on my PC. Is there one of these that DON'T plug into USB? That is, it plugs into the regular mic port?

I'll be frank. You do not want to use a mic that plugs into your PC or soundcard. Put your other USB devices on a a powered external hum and plug your mic into a free PC USB port. Even if you were to get a standard XLR mic you would still need a preamp that provided Phantom Power and a USB interface to connect it to your PC. some Preamps have interfaces built in.

I hope this does not sound like a stupid question but am i suppose to hear my voice like a normal mic or not?

go to your sound settings, then recording devices and on your snowball mic right click and go to properties. you want to find the settings where it says "hear this mic"

Does this work with ps4 & xbox one?

would not work for ps4 slim, not recognized. Until I rebooted the ps4 with the mic plugged in. evidently some kind of driver or config is adjusted, as it is now recognized and works.
