DanceDanceRevolution X (AC) (International)

Infinity=AI? I went last Thursday and X wasn't there.

Here's my deal, If the JP machine worked so well (Not counting the lag), Why would you change that? Look, I can understand using GH parts can be cheaper and with this economy, that may be a good move. But there's a cheep way, and a right way and it’s clear what path was chosen. They will lose more money then save with this.

I also fell really bad for EU. They have not gotten a DDR after SN1, 2 long years of wait and this is what they get. Let’s just call it DDR Old Yeller, because It's like they are celebration 10 years of DDR by taking it behind the barn and shooting it. I bet some guy at Konami is laughing his ass off right now. After this I want to see some new dance game and show DDR X the piece of trash as it is and take the Dance game crown.

I think Konami is not ever trying anymore & why should they? There’s no competition and where there is, Konami sues the shit out of them, So why even try?

If this is the “Revolution to the Evolution”, then this is one Evolution I don’t want to be part of.

I know this may be the longest post I’ve ever posted and I’m not one to rant, but holy shit. I’m just really pissed of at this.

The Japanese have a certain life philosophy: They HATE having to do something over again. They design most of their products around the concept of "getting it done once and NEVER having to do it again". Americans don't think the same way. Look at the PC industry. You have to spend about 800 dollars a year on maintenance for a SINGLE computer, and most people don't shell out that cash. Look at their PCs. Malware riddled, dusty, slow pieces of s***.

With the direction they are heading with DDR for the console market, here's hoping the next AC DDR will be heaps better.

...and with the PS3/360 having over 200 songs with DLC this year, it's like a miniature home-style arcade in your living room

That sounds like something you'll read behind the DDR box for PS3/360.

So should we at all be worried that Betson's screw up with the whole USB - SD card issue *assuming it was another screw up on their part* is going to screw us out of being able to make edits and use of other card features?

Nah, we were never going to be given the ability to make edits and use other card features anyway, so that's not really a loss.

DDR X is also housed in an electrifying NEW cabinet with a 37" LCD monitor, LED lighting effects and a thundering sound system to enhance play. Look for a new Shock Arrow and upgraded graphics.

The game is e-Amusement ready, player cards will allow on-line ranking and data collection with Internet connection. There is also a Step Chart Edit Mode where players can edit game step charts on their home PCs and bring the data back to the arcade via SD Memory Card.

I have contacted Betson concerning the quality issues and here is the reply received....

"Please send inquiries to the manufacturer Konami. We are just purchasing finished goods from Konami. We have notified them of the Problems."

So according to Betson, Konami was behind the manufacturing. Yet when I look on most other websites Betson is identified as the manufacturer. The most obvious conclusion is that somebody is lying, but the question is who.

How so?
