I will always choose metal over plastic anyday, but that requires money everytime you play, i just wish i was good at playing plastic without have the pad move from under me.

(I'm CMAxX400 and I approve this message.) I definitely prefer metal pads over the cheap plastic ones. The plastic ones, no matter how good they are, keep slipping around on the floor. HATE!!!!! HATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and one more thing...HATE!!!!!!!!!!

You can buy metal pads for your home system.

This isn't a metal home pad vs. plastic home pad argument, No **** the metal one is better......

ddranthony92 · 01-30-2007, 07:02 PM

well before when i didnt have a metal pad i taped both of my plastic pads to my basement floor i wish i took a pic and it worked good until it just got old and the arrows didnt work, but metal pads r way better but i already cracked one of my arrows

ddr_f4n · 01-30-2007, 09:34 PM

wow, everyone keeps saying that their arrows cracked and stuff like that with their metal pad. I had mine for over a year and it's still in good condition, and I play a lot too.

Home Pads Own, I have the Ignition III for the PS2 and it works a charm.

By the way, it is a stiff pad that has foam inserts so it cushions your feet

I use home pads. When I bought my first one [for the PS2, from EB Games], I got a $10 deposit on it. When it broke, I returned it and got a new one. I put a $10 deposit on it. Wash, rinse, repeat. I break them to the point of being unuseable in about four months, but for $10, who cares?

Metal pads are hard to get used to, but they are better, and if you are talking about the pads on the arcade machine, there is no comparison *HALLELUJAH!* what the?

g4z33b0 · 02-8-2007, 11:05 AM

Of course a cobalt flux would be better than a plastic pad, but if you tape down the plastic pad, its not THAT bad.

Novacaine · 02-8-2007, 06:02 PM

tx 2000, about 200 bucks + s&h or Cobalt flux about 300 +.
There is Some good soft pads out there though if u watch iamchris4life he also has a soft pad and has AAAed songs on it.
If you buy In The Groove 1 for ps2 it comes with 2 pads which i before i had my metal one I just ducktaped it to a piece of plywood and it seemed to work fine. Metal pads are obviously better but if u cant afford one right away u still have other options.

Magnum13 · 02-11-2007, 09:31 PM

i have seen an arcade style pad selling for $230.00 maybe you should look into it
