HoolieMan Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 I have invested $150+ in some decent Dance Dance Revolution Pads for my PS2 and now that I see there is going to be a DDR game for the XBOX, I have to wonder, Is it at all possible I will be able to use my old pads? If not, I may have to stick with the new Ps2 Version and no online play... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy liquid Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Wow, those pads must be pretty cool! I'm guessing you've got the one with the hard plastic, lights and everything? I've seen a controller converter here : ps2-xbox converter I'm sure there's more if you do a search, as well. I'm also not completely sure if this will work for what you want it for, but I don't see why not. I've never played DDR before (It's kind of intimidating, especially in an arcade!), but I think I'll give the xbox version a shot. And online play should also make it fun. It'll be funny trying to chat with a bunch of out-of-breath dancing people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 no online play... Online play was announced for the Xbox?? Where?? Gimme!! [added] Checked the Konami site - it's online content & "high scores" etc rather than real live online play by the sound of things. Bah.

heavy liquid Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Rats. I didn't realize that. Online play could've been really fun, although the chatting would be difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoolieMan Posted September 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 I've never played DDR before (It's kind of intimidating, especially in an arcade!) I never played DDR until I bought it for my PS2. It has probably been the single best party game I have ever owned. People always come over and we have DDR fests. It is good exercise and it has something for every level of player. I know that no online versus play sucks, but for DDR Content download is HUGE. Since DDR is about the songs, the ability to get new songs without getting a new game is really a bonus worth getting in on the XBOX for. Well, hopefully the buttons map over correctly and I can still use my PS2 pads. The ones I have aren't all that nice (flashing lights etc...) They are just good quality and have hard foam inside of them. I bought them from Red Octane and I bought the deal where you get two of them.

Zathras Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 The downloadable content from what I read will be additional songs - but it will cost $ to download them. I have a ps2 to xbox adapter that I will be trying when it comes out. I've made a couple of the homemade pads that are really close to the arcade, play great and are very durable (steel and mdf ). If that doesn't work I think I will end up re-wiring them to have multiple controller outs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Those Red Octane pads are highly regarded in the DDR community too, apparently. I have been very close to buying them several times over in the past months . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 There's a DDR community? Can a political party be far behind?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoolieMan Posted September 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 There is a community for everything. I am currently trying to gain membership into the "Steve Gutenburg can beat up Peter Faulk" political party... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 I'm all about "Leonard Nimoy should eat more Salsa" myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 I'd rather see Leonard Nimoy do a sequel to the Bilbo Baggins song. :green: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFo Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 On a related topic, can anyone tell me if there is a converter that will take an Xbox controller and make it work for a PS2? Just curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
