Buying a DDR Machine

**DJRiDDeR** · 08-31-2006, 05:32 PM

Yes Guys,

I am looking into buying a DDR machine, cause it's all I need and what not.

http://www.channelbeat.com/products/...series/18.html

DDR 4th Mix Solo Machine, Price is 2988 CAD but is there any other good sites out there that could be a couple hundred cheaper?

http://www.coinopexpress.com/product...2000_1782.html
That above has also caught my eye, but not as many songs but has non stop courses! and its 1000$ cheaper almost.

If you guys know any other sites or links to DDR machines with cheaper prices, that would be great. Those prices aren't a problem, but I want to be sure im getting a good deal.

PS THEY MUST BE SOLO MACHINES!

God, why blow away 2k on something you will probably not play for more than a 4 to 5 or 6 year timespan in your lifetime. Everyone outgrows stuff, and when that happens....you'll wish you had that 2k for other stuff.

I totally agree. Don't blow 2k on a DDR machine.

If you guys aren't going to help, than don't bother posting in my thread.

Kevin_18 · 08-31-2006, 06:42 PM

I'm just trying to save you money, you could buy a ps3 or something that could last you years of fun...compared to a cabinet machine. You can actually make your own for a hell of alot less than 2k.

My friend andy is 27 and still plays DDR.

Word.

**Patashu** · 08-31-2006, 07:05 PM

You could do it for a lot cheaper by buying a Cobalt Flux then grabbing the ddr song packs off of ddruk.com. zomg ddr machine get

Tibs · 08-31-2006, 07:06 PM

He said he wanted fuccen solos bitch

Triplex72 · 08-31-2006, 07:10 PM

I spent 35$ on my DDR setup lol. Adapter+Pad+All The DDR games+SM= good.

**DJRiDDeR** · 08-31-2006, 07:35 PM

So does anyone know any good DDR machine seller sites?

**Patashu** · 08-31-2006, 08:05 PM

People play solo?

**DJRiDDeR** · 08-31-2006, 08:15 PM

I don't want to play Solo, these also support Single, I just don't want to buy a full machine. Just a Solo Machine is all I need.

Afrobean · 08-31-2006, 11:14 PM

Why don't you get a computer dedicated to Stepmania and hook up a nice pad to it. You could build yourself a cabinet around the computer. Same thing, only better (able to add songs as you see fit) and cheaper (although there is added labor of designing and builing a cabinet).

**DJRiDDeR** · 08-31-2006, 11:20 PM

Yeah, I could imagine it's hard to design/build a cabinet, I just really don't want to go through all that. That 4th Mix Solo is however upgradable to 8th Mix I believe, not like I would bother, 4th Mix Solo comes with alot of Songs from the previous DDR Mixes.

DannyBoy05 · 09-1-2006, 05:32 PM

you should buy a coin operated one and make your friends pay to play, it would eventually pay for its self

>=)

Afrobean · 09-1-2006, 05:33 PM

Even Stepmania allows for coin operated play haha.

As long as you're up to the challenge of setting everything up, a SM cabinet is really the best option.

**Silver_Brian** · 09-1-2006, 10:57 PM

For serious.

**MixMasterLar** · 09-2-2006, 01:50 PM

try Bradygames.com my arcade used them

I have no ideal what the cost is.but if it's too much then do what afrobean said.

And afrobean, nice pic

**SCWolf** · 09-10-2006, 02:13 PM

Try Ebay dude.

Gray Fox · 10-27-2006, 05:49 PM

Okay here is what I could find but I don't think the price is lower than what you found. At least it's something right?

This one is sold out now but it might be restocked later on:
