It's just the flash from the phone, they are just normal DDR bass speakers.

Oh! Okay, Thats neat. But the marque..

What's wrong with the marquee?

I think it's just the fact the marquee light is out/not present. Would look a lot better if it were lit up.

If you mean GamePlay in Maryland - Maryland's abbreviation is MD. Glad to be in such a short list of locations :3

Damn, apparently they'll be getting a IIDX and a pop'n machine soon!

I'm really really excited to hear this, especially about the IIDX. The pop'n'music will apparently be an 8 cab upgraded to 14, and the IIDX will be some older version upgraded to SPADA.

I am the most excited I've ever been right now.

E: They'll have the IIDX machine in around 3 weeks, if everything goes according to plan. Apparently it's going to be the one that was thought lost in Sweden!

Yep, really excited for both IIDX and pop'n which are landmark arrivals for the UK as we've never seen these machines at a public arcade.

In case people don't know already, there's a DDR/EZ2 meetup on May 31st.

The DDR recently got a screen upgrade and now runs at the same resolution as SN1+. Smile

Yep, exciting stuff.

BTW, if anyone wants to meet up, let me know. I work in Southend so I'm pretty much up for DDR most days. Smile

So, I'll be on holidays in Southend during most of next week (starting tomorrow). I'd love to use that opportunity to meet up with a few fellow Bemani-crazy people. I'm gonna be at Astro City most of the time, probably either talking with the locals, playing shoot'em'ups or at one of the rhythm arcades. Looking forward to getting to know you guys!

For the benefit of anyone who's not been keeping an eye on Astro's facebook page over the last week or so, they've just announced that the IIDX and pop'n cabs have made it over from Sweden to the UK. Apparently, they're aiming to get them to the arcade and up and running over the coming weekend.

Pop'n and IIDX are in the workshop, getting prepped. They need stuff like coinmechs and newer mixes before they're ready to go in - they won't be at astro till probably next week (tentatively).

Teaser for the meantime -

Breaking news special offer:

Good ol' Pop'n 8 will be in for this week

Due to Pop'n 14 breaking and needing attention (sigh)
