Information

It is very noisy, like all other D&Bs. But this one is especially noisy because it's located beneath the I-8 and I-805 interchange.

Payment: Uses chips (credits) loaded onto Power Cards or the D&B app, tickets are called points and are also loaded onto the card. Chips about 20 cents each, and are bought in packs between $15 and $105 with chip amounts varying by location. All games are priced half-off on Wednesdays. Playing a game with a card used at another location will roam that card (transfer your chips and points) to this location.

Note: Any person aged 21 or older is allowed to enter. Anyone under 21 must be accompanied by an adult aged 25 or older to enter.

Wonder what on earth happened to the DDR Ace machine?????

Did the fans call for this? Did the employees or people working there decided against it, or what? Did D & B just stop supporting the e-amusement passes the machine uses?

Did the machine have problems working and/or connecting to its online server/the internet at some point?

Maybe.

DDR cabinet gone, according to employee I spoke with on the phone, 7/25/22

6 years agoX5s
I know its been forever but just wanted to let people know that up and left arrow issue were fixed about a month ago.

6 years agoX5s
Pump machine was removed, I heard rumors that D&B is planning to roll out newer pump cabs. DDR A's player 1 pad is having some inconsistent sticking with the up and left arrow. Most of the player base has been asking D&B to fix it for a little over a month now.

8 years agoX5s
@Mr.Music it's fixed!

8 years agoX5s
They plan to fix it; they are currently working on getting a replacement graphics card but there is also concern that the hard drive data is corrupt which may delay repairs even further.

8 years agoMr.Music
Does anyone know if they plan on fixing the DDR A? And if so how long will it take?

8 years agoMr.Music
You can get one at the front desk. Ask for a 'ddr card'

8 years agobuggu
anyone know if they carry e-amuse passes? i know at (some) locations they can be purchased but im not sure about this one.

8 years agoMr.Music
Someone pointed out earlier that this is one of the few locations that still doesn't have Premium play for only 1 credit. Does anyone know how we could get that changed?

8 years agoMr.Music
Yes! I'll definitely stop by this weekend then.

8 years agodarkanine
It is online now

8 years agoMr.Music
Has anyone been here within the last two weeks? I went a couple weeks ago for the first time and I couldn't get my e-amusement card to work, so hopefully they've connected it to the servers by now.

8 years agodarkanine
I wish I knew, but I haven't had a chance to play with e-AMUSEMENT on the machine yet.

8 years agoMr.Music
I know this is kinda not the right place how how are the first batches of songs before etra savior (OBOROand stuff) unlocked?

8 years agodarkanine
It was only the default songlist. No unlockable songs. I am not sure if it has network connection yet. I'm sure when I go to play a week from now it will be connected. They have the e-AMUSEMENT cards already.

8 years agoMr.Music
I didn't know San Diego was getting DDR A, that's good to know. Are songs other than the default list available or does that require e-amuse?

11 years agoMr.Music
is the up panel on P1 still missing? Probably going there next wednesday when PIU is only 6 so I might try it but I'm definitely playing some SN2. I don't get why they got PIU over X2

11 years agomonocleswong
Went there last month, it seemed alright to play DDR SN2. I'm a bit more positive to see people were playing, makes me feel better to see maybe some competition when I arrive here next year.

PIU price was not that ridiculously high price as previously mentioned. Somewhere in the 6. some odd number range, it worked fine.

11 years agoBlacKOuTVisioN
Thats why i dont really see people playing it.
They're all like, "Let's go play PIU! SNAARAHRHAHRAH!!!! Oh wait, it's 11.6 credits. Let's go play DDR."

11 years agoMr.Music
holy crap for 3 songs? whyyyyyy?

11 years agoBlacKOuTVisioN
@Mr.Music PIU cost 11.6 credits. We REALLY should fix that.

11 years agoMr.Music
Does that mean if I complain about broken games that the other guys are too lazy to fix you'll fix them? Because I know nobody gives a shit about Tippin' Blocks but it happens to be one of my favorite games. Also, why did they get a PIU? WHY? They could have gotten an X2 or something.

11 years agoBlacKOuTVisioN
I also saw a guy wearing straight up white going hardcore on the PIU machine. He was with his friends too.

11 years agoBlacKOuTVisioN
I just got a job here, my friend works there and he quit so I took the job.

11 years agoMr.Music
Was anyone there last Wednesday the 3rd? I saw some guy there somewhat experienced so I wasn't sure if they were on here. They failed Bloody Tears Expert final stage.

12 years ago8bit
I guess they put in some codes becuase I saw Plutos and characters.

12 years agoMr.Music
Last time it was there it was missing the Plutos and characters.

12 years ago8bit
EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH E-AMUSEMENT!!!

12 years ago8bit
I believe it had the MAX code already. That's what I think since it has everything but the GROOVE RADAR specials.

12 years agoMr.Music
It's decent. Did you put in unlock code Max?

12 years agoFraxtil
The SN2 cabinet here is the best DDR machine I've played on, but my sample size is very limited.

13 years agowaterdraik346
@Mr.Music No, I don't go there because I usually prefer to stay at home.

13 years agoMr.Music
Woahwoahwoah waterdik you went there? You didn't happen to go on wednesday did you?
Also, @Aeron it would have unlock code 6 but SOMEONE thought it would be a good idea to move the machine

13 years agoAeronPeryton
If SuperNOVA 2 is working perfectly, someone fully unlock the poor thing.
