2009.03.13 - ASI Amusement Trade Show 2009
As bacon has posted on bemanistyle.com, notable points include:

1. DanceDanceRevolution X dedicated cabinets, due May, will have e-AMUSEMENT readers.
2. e-AMUSEMENT will be available as soon as the DanceDanceRevolution X launch at $50 per month.
3. Instead of USB, SD cards will be used for EDIT DATA despite the majority vote on a poll at ddronlinecommunity.com in favour of USB due to "security risks" yet they're not concerned about it in Asia/Japan which calls into the question why a poll was even published. A PC utility will be distributed for DDR players to produce EDIT DATA in this case.
4. The DanceDanceRevolution X showcased at ASI 2009 was very similar to a final Japanese software except the software is in English.
5. KONAMI is producing the cabinets with Betson distributing them only.

2009.03.09 - DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY 2 (Wii) (Europe) (Thread)
On the KONAMI France website, their current March poll includes the question "Which game are you looking forward the most in 2009?" and includes DDR HOTTEST PARTY 2 Wii as one of the choices. This could be our confirmation that the game is finally coming out to the European region, six months after the North American release. Let's hope they give us exclusive content this time round to compensate for the delay eh?

Was there a previous time for the European release of Hottest Party?

Also, extremely extremely minor, but when you say "Go To Last Week >>" I think it's a bit strange because the right arrows look like it's saying go forward to something in the past.
Yep, that's me -- I notice all the minor pointless stuff.

I have a much bigger problem. I click it over and over, and I'm still in this week. I want to go back to last week, before I wasted my weekend sleeping.
