DJ2 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 i would like to give dance dance revolution to our 3 daughters. we do not currently own any of the gaming systems. could anyone suggest to me what's the least expensive route to getting a new game, system, floor mat and all???? can it be done for $200? (i'm dreaming, right?) thanks very much! dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenofshopping Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 im sure it's doable, since the prices on the older gaming systems have come down..i'll investigate since im going to several b&m stores today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairydustcrissy Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Sure it can! Especially if you can find the DDR mario mix, get a Gamecube for 99.00! You could also do a pre-owned Xbox or PS2 for 99.00 at EB or Gamestop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civicracinggirl7 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 you could go with this: The Wave Dance Makerhttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000096QQX/qid=1134426382/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-7978978-4863151List Price: $24.99Currently 50% off - Price: $12.49 It's not DDR, but the same idea without the need of a console. If they don't have it already, they might enjoy "Twister Moves" as well. Another dance game that uses a mat. Other than the link I put above, you'd be looking into getting a PS2, Xbox or a GameCube (Mario DDR), plus the game(s), plus the mat(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 At first I thought this was going to be about RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malachitecat Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 At first I thought this was going to be about RAM I'm wondering, do you have kids??? I didn't know about DDR until my stepdaughter came to live with us. Guess I'm a little behind the times lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Unregistered Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 You could also try the redoctane web site. They have a special ddr store that offers packages with the game and the mats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case you would need an RF adaptor, pretty cheap. Other than that, you should be good! Good luck finding everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck finding everything!you can route the a/v through a vcr or dvd player as well, although you will have some lines running through the picture. i had my ps2 hooked up this way up until i got a new tv recently.

civicracinggirl7 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 worked out good for you! (i wish i had aunts and uncles that spent that much on us when we were kids lol) i was going to post in here too that when i was at lord & taylor last night i saw a "double dance mat" game that was setup like DDR, with places for two to play at once and it plugged in through a/v cables, so you wouldn't need anything extra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You an get them that have multi-jacks as well. So you can keep the cable hooked up at the same time! HTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, if you have a VCR connected to the current TV, you can wire the PS2 through that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ2 Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 thanks all, someone posted on another thread about a 23" tv for a great price at wal-mart, so we picked that up. with some of the "extra" $$ we're not spending, i'm also getting the kids a second mat, since it will probably be fun to do DDR with someone else at the same time. i really appreciate everyone's advice! -dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
