    You won't believe.....

    In my opinion, most intense DDR players would die for their own Arcade style machine at home, right? Well I want one and it would look perfect in my basement. Of course my parents said, "N-O." But, my 16th birthday is a year from November 2005 (a long time off I know) and since 16 is such a highly recognized age, I was thinking that as my big Sweet 16 gift my parents could buy me an Arcade Style DDR Machine.
    My mom said, "Well, what if you don't like DDR as much as you do now in 2 years?"
    I said, "I highly doubt that will happen, but I have 2 years to out grow the phase and if I don't, then would you consider it?"
    My mom miraculously said, "It's cheaper than a car and if it's something you'll use for they rest of your life then I will think about it."
    How awesome would it be to have a DDR Machine in my house! I hope I get one, my life would be complete and my friends would just love it!!!!!!!!

    RE: You won

    First off, a DDR machine cheaper than a car? Ha! Ha Ha Ha Ha ha ha!!!!!! Aww man, that was too rich! But anyway, you might want to recheck your facts. A good DDR Machine will set you back at least 7-10,000 dollars. Maybe.

      PFFFFFFFFFFFF. I can guarantee that you'll grow old of it very very fast. I suggest you get a IIDX machine rather, since everything's keysounded and awesome like that.

        IIDX is good. DDR is good. Depending on how often you play them, they'll get kinda old quick. Me... I would rather get a Dance Maniax machine, because you can just do so flipping much with it. But that's my opinion. So... yeah.

          I would get a car instead.

          I use to be like you, playing DDR whenever i could, i thought it was the gretest thing ever, then i got bored with it and now i play whenever im by a machine, only once, then stop. Get a car. A DDR machine would be a waste of money.

              Holy crap, someone actually knows what I'm talking about?

              Also, if you get a DDR machine, it might be interesting. Me, I might get one, then let it go to use in a local arcade, in which they get about 25% of the profit that is gained in it, while I get the rest. A lot to go through to see if it'll work, but hell, why not get paid for it too? Of course, keeping it maintained would suck.

                good god. don't get a ddr machine. Get Pump or ITG. I haven't played ITG but one thinkg is for sure, pump is much better than DDR. Of course, thats only my oppinion. I would really like a drummania machine. If you do get a DDR machine though, get stepmaniaa on it XD

                  Wouldn't get ITG. I haven't played it yet, but people that I know and trust aren't happy with most of the stepcharts on it. Repetitiveness for singles, too much crossing-over or something like that with doubles, and a whole bunch of other things.

                      RE: Re: RE: You won

                      Car = not a solution to everything. Some people don't necesarilly need it. For example, me. Most places I need to go, I can go on my bike. If I need to go somewhere farther, I normally can get a ride with a friend at sometime (lately though, I doubt this might be happening), or my parents can drive me. I don't plan on going on any dates, mostly due to me liking to being alone.

                      But yeah, I wouldn't get a DDR machine unless there was more profit from it rather than home use.

                        RE: Re: RE: You won

                        As I've said before, my friends and I bought a DDR Extreme arcade machine. It cost us $7,000 for everything (including shipping) and we are VERY satisfied. It's great to be able to play for free and all, and still make money off it.

                        And for tsu, ITG is great. I love it. The stepcharts don't suck, and they're not repetetive. It's a very original and unusual twist to DDR, music-style and stepchart-style.
                        What?

                          Meh, when I play it, I'll make my own judgement on the whole thing. I would download the stepfiles they have for SM... but they aren't technically complete. So I'll be waiting on that. Unfortunately, the nearest ITG is about 45 mins - 1 hour away from my house. Salt Lake City... god I hate Utah.

                            I would much prefer Dance Maniax. It's the only Bemani game I ever played and I loved it. It's about 2,000 where I saw one online too.

                              Yeah. I thought DMX would be more expensive than that. Speaking of which... click this!

                              Somebody ran SM through DMX, modified it, made it work, things like that. It's pretty awesome overall. If I can figure out how to do that, I'm SO doing it.
