Cool! Jon and I were just talking about exercise today, maybe we should get out our old PS2 mat & game and dust it off.

Yeah, I have a couple PS2 DDR pads and loads of older game editions all of which *technically* can work through by back-compatible PS3, but messing with adapters every time I set up was kind of a PITA. (And my old launch-gen PS2, in addition to not being hooked up, is pretty unreliable at this point.) Much nicer to have a native set-up again. And I'm hoping downloadable songs will give it a lot of legs.

I love DDR, but haven't played at home since spraining my ankle last April. I am, I think, way less adept at it than you must be, though. Lack of coordination: can haz! But it's really fun.

It's kinda like bowling, you can be bad at it and still have a good time.

[skogkatt]

Indeed. I am *also* terrible at bowling!

Eh, I'm only middling decent at DDR - I top out at around 6 or 7 foot difficulty unless I've been practicing. anacoluthon down there can dance rings around me. ;)

I miss DDR, but we didn't end up moving our huge pads. =/

[kirinn]

Aw, sad, though very understandable. Wonder how cheaply you could find some more half-decent pads and plywood...

Well, we also didn't move them because we played DDR a grand total of once since the previous time we'd moved. I figure we can get another set if we ever feel like playing again, although I'd probably be more likely to swing by an arcade that has a real machine first.
