    That looks good to me. You'll have to buy a PS2 to USB port thing, but I'm sure you already knew that.

      ddranthony92 has that same pad I think. It is his avatar. Wait 'till he gets in here 'cause he probably has some good feedback.

        I have that pad, it is ok, but there is one better I've seen. if I were you i'd save up for the arcade stlye one, this one has buttons that slip around and stuff, when I find the URL to the good kind I saw, I will post it.

            I've gotten a hundred stubbed toes from the big metal DDR pad underneath our couch.

            I'm not sure if the fabric pillow-like one we have still works because a part of it was squished by a leg of our couch.
            My little corner of Local Reality Quotes:

            Zack: Okay, I've got tampons, a Venus razor, now to stop at Victoria's secret.
            Joe: Uh, I think you're taking this joke a little too far. Seriously. I can understand going off to buy a bra, but TAMPONS? You're starting to kill the joke. And do I really have to come with you?
            Zack: Shut up. It's funny.

                  Save for a RedOctane or CF. In the end it's worth it.

                    Pretty good pad but the bar ain't as stable as the you would expect. The pad itself does feel like the arcade but it ain't as stable to the ground as you think it would be. Mine isn't broken at all and I've had mine for 1 and a half years. Pretty good pad I would say so myself.

                      What!? It's a dance pad, people will stomp. You can't expect to not stomp when going into overdrive mode.

                      Yea ok I wouldn't get this pad. Go for a pad that can handle a stomp or two.

                          I have the same pad, its not very good unless you do some internal work on it.

                          When you step on the arrow it feels like you literally sink in. If you look under the censor and foam it has the most flimsy piece of wood that could easily be broken if your some1 who plays like 10 footers all the time.

                          I (and my dad) actually cut it open and put extra thicker wood under and now it actually works great but like I said unless you do somethin like that its pretty sucky.

                          And the bar it has is wickid unstable and not wide enough.

                          BTW try buying a soft redoctane.

                            You cannot afford a Red Octane, which is $75, but you can afford a metal pad that is $200.
