I think you're better off with a 360 personally.  There isn't much on PS3 aside from LBP and MGS4.  Valkyria Chronicles is alright, same with Uncharted.  The rest of the games are a little ho-hum.

Theres actually a lot more Japanese support right now for the 360 than the PS3 as well, if you care about that.

I actually think the engine was a bit of a stepback in Universe 3, compared to 1 and 2.  I think it would be a good idea to get rid of the BG movie that constantly plays, even if you turn off the BG movies.  I noticed in 1 and 2, things ran really smoothly with everything disabled, the arrows were also a little bigger in the first 2.

I would also like to see the screen filter implimented from X.  I think it would be even more helpful in a game like universe compared to X due to the BGs being HD and so spontaneous.  Sometimes its hard to spot the difference between the backgrounds and the arrows in the Universe games.

 Hopfully the next game can finally get rid of gameplay stutters and whatnot.  It seems like if a game like LIPs can run at 60fps, so can DDR.

 I think 3 has an ace songlist, so hopefully 4 can top it.

For those interested in Disko Warp stuff, they just put out 2 new Akyr Eurobeat remixes...

Stay (Disko Warp Remix)
Electric Love (Disko Warp Remix)

You can check them out on their myspace page...

 Also Sexy Vampire REMIXES is coming out, along with a new single called Lolitabot.

Looks like good stuff!  Much better than the stuff in Universe 2.  I'll probably buy a points card just for this!  Some of those covers are from Karaoke Revolution American Idol Encore.

My Gamestop just got it in, so I picked it up.   I noticed this on the packaging...

Featuring Out-of-This-World Songs...

"Sweet Dreams"
"Shake Your Groove Thing"
"Dancing Machine"
"It Takes Two"
"Tainted Love"
"Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"

Granted Dancing Machine is in the game, hopefully the other ones show up as DLC.  Or maybe they are just REALLY hidden?

I'm looking forward to pretty much every unlock posted, heh.

I think they should do what Rock Band does by letting the player export songs from an older mix to a newer mix.  It basically makes the songlist grow, and allows older songs to be played on a newer engine.

Looks pretty solid so far.

He has a few CS GF/DM songs, like El Dorado...

Shades of Grey was actually Fracus.  Why Not was Darwin.  Still cool to see Darwin again.  I enjoyed Drew Campbells work in the Universe series, I'll look forward to his work in X.

Thats cool that this information was posted, its nice to see a new generation of people composing mainly for DDR games.  Heres hoping the unlocks bring forth some of the classic BEMANI names.

This sounds pretty sweet.  Can't wait to get some news from the test!  I bet Ubeat has a different songlist, since most of it is j-pop or other japanese music.

The X-Mixes are not done by Disko Warp Records, at least not to my knowledge.  Probably by the people who did the power mixes.

 Songlist looks good so far!  I wonder how many licenses will be in the game, This is probably like half of them.  KOs look great so far.  I'm sure crossovers will be revealed later on, possibly in Arcadia magazine.  I think Switch, Stealth, Paranoia Hades, Trip Machine Phoenix, and Blind Justice were revealed that way.

I got mine in the mail today.  I got SN2.

I think Grid Knight could actually be pretty fun.

I don't know if this is in the US versions, or new versions in particular, but I would like an all unlock option in the options mode for the previous game in the series, kind of like what they used to do in the Japanese versions.  That way, if theres one song, or course, or whatever, that you never got, it would be cool to finally be able to play it.  I think this option should be added to Universe 3 and Hottest Party 2.

I'd like to see the series make its way to the PS3.  I know the Sony DDR games generally follow the arcade releases, so I've been wondering if they did make the jump to HD with the PS3, would the arcade counterparts follow suite... say, with new cabinet design, etc.  Kind of like an FX cabinet in the PiU series.

 I'd love to be able to play a lot of classics with all the newer mods/features and would love to have a solid online mode.  I think it would be cool to implement eamuse features, such as rankings/ghost data as they do in IIDX.  Sure DDR isn't as competitive or varying in its scoring, but it would still be fun to compete like that.  I know it would make a lot of people want to actually play the console versions online.

 If a game is made for the PS3 as well, I think it would be cool if Konami were to sell or hook up with Sony to release a PS2 to PS3 adapter with the games.  I mean, they could easilly package a DDR bundle with a PS2 pad, and include the adapter, this way people who use metal pads/arcade pads would be happy.

 As far as graphics are concerned, I think having random bgs would be fine.  I know the IIDX/GF/DM transplant songs that feature backgruonds in DDR are not in high-def resolutions, so I think it would be hard to transplant a lot of the backgrounds (Doll, Xepher, etc) without making them look warped/distorted.  I don't think gaphics are too big of an issue though, I mean, just look at Disgaea 3.

I think a good idea for a DDR game on the PS3 is to do kind of what like they do with Rock Band and its DLC.  I think their should be a lot of downloadable content, and it should be priced accordingly.  For instance, KOs could be like 99 cents each, LICENSES 1.99 or something.  Heck, they could probably even hook up with some artists to do special preorder bonuses and stuff as well.  The game could probably come with 90-100 songs on it, and more could be added via DLC.  If new DDRs come out, it might be cool to have the ability to install the songs from a previous game onto the new game, kind of like what they did back in the day with Beatmania 5k games.  Since there is a HDD though, it would be cool to be able to save it to the HDD.  I'm sure there could be some key system in place as well to keep people from installing 1 copy on like 50 PS3s.

 As people have said too, the new PS3s (40gb) don't have backward compatibility, only the 60 and 80 gb ones do.  As the market moves forward, it seems like the jump will have to happen.

I'm hoping the US machines have the ability to unlock the hidden songs.
