I just picked up two DDR mats at Target for $4.99 each, but now I need the games... Anybody know where I can find them cheap? Thanks

You aren't going to find any of them that cheap.

The easiest one to find is Konamix which sells for $29.99 in stores but even that is getting hard to find.

DDR USA has been out of print for almost 3 years and goes for $40-$60, you may be able to find it for $30 used at Gamestop

Disney Mix is the rarest of the 3 games and goes for $75 - $120 and has been out of print for about 2 years.

Wow, that's crazy! I never realized a disney game could go for that much! I guess I'll have to try my luck at a pawn shop or something. Thanks!

What makes it even worse is that Disney Mix has a very small songlist. There are only 18 songs total 2 of the songs are the same but 1 is a remix (Mickey Mouse March) and 6 of the songs aren't even Disney songs but Konami original songs that Konami put in the game instead of the oldies songs that the Japanese version had.

So people are spending $100+ on a game that has 11 Disney songs.

The reason it goes for so much is that there were very few copies of the game printed and when it came out (Fall 2001), DDR wasn't really very popular in the US yet so most people who now are starting to play DDR and want the game are stuck paying those high prices for it on Ebay.

I even regret paying $35 for it when it first came out because of the small songlist (especially compared to stuff like DDR Extreme on PS2 that has over 100 songs!)

i got ddr max 1 and 2 if u want them.

Hiya,

Yeah, you're better off either doing one of the following:

Modding your PSX or otherwise enabling it to play imports, then download (...ya gotta find'em, too) imports of DDR Mixes... you could probably get 3rd - 5th without too much trouble... actually, that's a lie. I think PSX games are probably really hard to find online these days.

Getting a PS2, then DDR Max 1 and 2... and Extreme. LOTS of songs on Extreme.

If you take the PSX modding route, I highly recommend 4th Mix.

OH! Last, and probably BEST option! If you've got a decent size monitor (or manage to get S-Video from your computer to your TV), you can download Dance With Intensity (DWI) or Stepmania for your PC, then download just about every DDR song there ever was... for free. People also make steps to other songs that they like, so you can even play those. Usually, you're stuck playing with the keyboard, but you can get a PSX to PC adapter for less than $20 and hook up your pads to your PC. Might not be a bad deal... of course, getting all of the songs (while free) can take a while... but if you find someone who has them already, that person might be able to send them to you, organized and everything.

(I believe I've got'em somewhere... worst comes to worst, I could burn them on CDs and mail'em to you or something)

I've got a friend that uses this method, and it seems to work great for him. I guess just let me know, and I could give you his contact info.

I was actually very satisfied with Max 2. Ultramix on the other hand, was abysmal. Not even the crappy songlist, lack of challenge difficulty, or framerate issues...but they messed up the stepfiles for Candy<3 and Look to the sky! It's the most unprofessionally produced videogame I own, and a real shame too, because it had so much potential.

i thought there was alot of slow crap in 2. now im not even GOOD at ddr by any means, if i play i play on light or standard, depending on the songs, but max2 just had such boring songs compared to max. max just has so many great dance songs

BasketCase1080 and Kappo, you got PM...

My psx is modded, so would an import be any cheaper?

edit: nevermind, just checked ebay and it's the same, if not more....

Yeah, Extreme will be $40

I was more dissapointed with Max 1 US than I was with Max 2 US. I thought Max 2 US was the best US version of DDR since it was the only US game to have a lot of Dancemania songs like Ghosts, The Whistle Song, Long Train Runnin, Let's Groove, Twilight Zone, Conga Feeling, Dream A Dream etc.

What I didn't like about Max 1 US was that it had less than 12 songs from the arcade version of Max while the Japanese PS2 version of Max 1 (my favorite DDR home mix) was a perfect arcade port and had every song the Max arcade machine had.

i HATE Conga Feeling.... :x

Personally, i prefer the non-Dancemania songs like So Deep, Tsugaru, and Vanity Angel.

I tried this, and mine's off beat... :( Playing with the keyboard is mostly on time, but my controller registers late or something because of my adapter. Because of this, I prefer playing on PS2.
