I think I severed my tongue by biting it so hard.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

Not hard enough considering you still posted.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

How do you think I type, exactly?

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

I guess I thought we were speaking figuratively. Or maybe you make it a habit to rant out loud to yourself. Don't let me judge. If that is the case then I guess congratulations on your progress in being able to keep your solitary rage bursts under control.

Did you buy it? I love Duran^2 and I can tolerate that Poker Face song, for what it is.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

I ended up passing on the DLC. Not a terribly impressive mash-up, IMO.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

Agreed. I didn't think they blended together very well at all. And the other two solo remixed songs do nothing for me.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

Sounds epic. I essentially got the first game for free, so I'm definitely up for buying this one. Just can't decide if I should stick with my slightly defective PS3 turntable (the knobby-button sticks a little bit) and just get the game, or buy the game+turntable PS3 version , OR get the 360 version, which I would prefer if there's some cross compatibility with the Guitar Hero games (all of which I own on 360, not PS3).

Decisions, decisions...

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

Thought I would post this here as well since not everyone checks the video game deals threads. Great deal:

Kinda surprised this hasn't been posted yet (credit goes to CAG) but you can go to Best Buy and get DJ Hero for $40 and an extra turntable for free. It doesn't work online but I used online to check the store's stock. I bought mine today and it worked easy as pie.

They will ring them both up but once once the clerk hits total, it gives them the pop-up that the extra turntable is free. Always wanted to try this game but didn't really want to pay much for it. They must be trying to get rid of some stock.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

Well..they do have a new bundle that's like $150 coming in 2 months. An option that is $40-$50 in most places probably wouldn't do them any favors. ;)

That's a stupid awesome deal. Congrats. The game is awesome.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

So these turntables will work just fine with DJ Hero 2?

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

Correct. They aren't making any functional changes to the turntables that I'm aware of. All changes in DJ Hero 2 are gameplay changes.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

I have spent a couple of hours with the game and am pleasantly surprised how much fun it is. Not being a fan of mash-ups or hip-hop, I have mixed feeling about the game before trying but find that the music doesn't bother me much since the game itself is so engrossing.

I saw there isn't much DLC provided but out of what there is, any really worth the extra money?

And what do you guys keep the turntable in to keep from dust getting all over it? I looked around but was kinda surprised that I have not been able to find a cover for it online. Found some cool looking skins though.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

The Public Enemy/Gorillaz DLC track is my favorite in the game.

The one it comes with is also pretty enjoyable.

Outside of those and the free Lady Gaga one a bit ago, I haven't purchased any of the others.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

Worked for me, thanks

$50 game bundle + $60 extra turntable = $40, some how that works

Glad I waited off the 9 months and didn't spend $100 on just the game bundle

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

$40 - It'd be nice to pick up a second turntable.

@ sauce - just think, I plunked down $200 for the Renegade Edition. I do love it so much though.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

Is it possible that the setlist for this game is almost too long? I've been playing for a week and still have like 10 sets to unlock.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

No. It's not possible. Isn't that a good thing? :)

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

no. 80% of the reason I bought the game was for the Daft Punk and Jay-Z mixes. I just got to Jay-Z and still have another 40 stars to get Daft Punk.

I'm enjoying the game, but just wish I could skip past some of the mediocre mash-ups.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

Well if you mainly bought the game for like 10% of the tracks, then yeah, you're probably going to run into that issue.

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

I'm the center of the universe and everything revolves around me

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

In that case getting to those Daft Punk/Jay Z tracks is going to be the least of your concerns. :)

Re: The Official DJ Hero Thread of BPMs, Faders and Scratches
 

My mommy says i'm special, give me more Daft Punk.
