OMG, DROOL!  Wine Red is my favorite song on the Snakes on a Plane soundtrack (one of the best soundtracks EVER!) and I'm SOOOOO happy it's in DDRX!!  Wow, I'm very impressed with the song list so far!  Can't wait to get my hands (or feet?) on this game!

I got my SuperNova 2 V-Rare yesterday!  Thanks DDR Online community!

I was wondering the same thing.  There have been V-Rare CDs with every release except for SN2 and Hottest Party.  V-Rares were made for those games, but they weren't preorder (or even purchase) bonuses.  You had to get them by other means.

So, I second Joethezombie's question:  Does anyone know about V-Rares this year? 

I've used the Eyetoy with DDR many times.  I have to say that it is pretty fun if you just let go and have fun with it.  Don't take it seriously.  It's a great way to have a good time with a bunch of people.  Especially with the minigames included.  No, it's not perfect, and you most likely won't get perfct scores when playing hands and feet mode, but at least Konami included something different.

In my opinion, it's a welcome addition to the DDR series.  Use it if you want, or don't.  Simple as that. But make sure that whatever you decide, have fun with it because that's what DDR is all about.

Hmm, the size of the screen is just fine with me.  My main problem is glare from other lights in the arcade. I'm 6 feet tall (which I would think is only a little above average) and otfen times I can't see the screen unless I hunch over... :(  Maybe the angle of the screen can change a bit? Or they could use some kind of anti-glare coating on the glass?  Overall, it's not a big deal.  But I'd definitely love to see that addressed in the future!

Hey Silvercube, I think there is a Karaoke Revultion that has a bit of DDR included.  Karaoke Revolution Party or something like that.

I'm more of a casual gamer now, but I still aim for AAs whenever I can.  I'm too "white" to freestyle, although I wish I could make freestylin' look cool.  I mainly play for fun, with a bit of PAing in the back of my mind.

I love playing doubles!  It helped me get a lot better at crossovers back in the day.  I play doubles a little bit at home, but my pads travel too much.  When I go to the arcade, I play doubles 50% of the time.  If I could play on a machine with joint premium or doubles premium enabled, I would play doubles 100000% of the time!  It's the best way to generate crowds!

Wow, that's such a cool idea!  I never have anyone to play DDR with, but if I ever happen to play alongside anyone, I will definitely suggest this cool and freaky doubles mode!

I think the SN2 V-Rares and the Hottest Party V-Rares were only given out at one of the game conferences last year (or was it early this year?).  As far as I know, they were not given out as preorder bonuses anywhere.  Which is what makes them so special to us this time around... I'm dying to at least know the track list for the SN2 V-Rare.

wow, how did you get so many of them?  I am very jealous!

I have to agree with the Guitar Hero rants.  I was initially excited about the first game when it came out.  Now that it's hugely popular among everyone, I really couldn't care less about it.  That, and I don't really like metal or rock music...  There's something about the following that GH and Rock band have that I just can't stand.  I guess it's due to them all thinking that GH vs. Rock Band is the only thing to talk about in the music games genre.  Hello?!  What about the all of the awesome games that paved the way for these new ones?   What about Guitar Freaks?  WAAAY more fun!  Anyway... that's just my opinion, and I'm glad it meshes well with most of yours.

wow.  I don't know what to say.  Awesome, but really really weird. wow.

I wasn't able to sign in until 4:40 yesterday.  I only saw 5 people online when I signed in.  How was the turnout earlier?

edit: nvm, saw first post...

We'll have to try harder next week! 

Wow, what an awesome idea!  I have to try it too! 

Man, if you really wanna get crazy, you could play doubles with your whole body; upper body on left side and lower body on right side.  You'd look like a fish out of water, lol! I'd pay money to watch someone do that as long as they could pass a song or two.

LOL, so true!  Digital Whack-a-Mole!

Thanks for setting this up MdxMaxX, there were more people there than I expected.  Hopefully it will just grow more each week.  It was nice logging in and actually having people to play against for a change.

Oh, and I vote Tuesdays from 5-7 and 7-9 (Ideally for me it would be 6-8) for another day of online DDRing!

Wow, jubeat looks...interesting.  I hope I get to play it sometime in the near future.

What?  You mean Konami didn't rip off Harmonix?  It's the other way around? ;)
