Re: arcade dancemat machines

I'm assuming you're talking about DDR, because your post needs more coherence.

Yes, there are home versions of DDR for specific game consoles. A quick search online or at your local video game retailer will yield plenty of results. If you're looking for a dance pad, then I recommend you go to a major electronics store (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.) and look for a decent non-slip pad there. If you're talking about buying the actual machine itself, then I have no idea. I don't know why you'd want one, they're probably way more expensive. If you're talking about some other game like Pump it Up or In the Groove, there are home versions for those too.

I think they mean the arcade machine itself.

Check ebay.. Last I saw, they were a bit over $16,000.
Ps lol

Re: arcade dancemat machines

If you want an arcade cabinet, go to a site like bmigaming.com (just search for "arcade distributor" and you should get other options) and buy one from there. This will most likely run you at >$7000.

If you're looking for a home version you can get one for PS2, Wii, or 360, but unless you invest in a pad like a Cobalt Flux or Blueshark or similar then you won't be able to have an experience like the arcade. This will only cost a few hundred dollars, max. If you get a cheap pad then it'll be around $75 assuming you already have the system.

Re: arcade dancemat machines

They're called "cabinets". You can buy ones that play songs you put into them, typically through Stepmania, or actual DDR or ITG machines.

Re: arcade dancemat machines

If you want a Stepmania cabinet you have to build it yourself or hack an ITG machine.

Re: arcade dancemat machines

I see an Stepmania cabinet on Youtube. What's the difference with ITG or DDR?
