DDR dance pad has no mic jack? [update 2]


Update 2: After numerous reports from readers, there appears to be no extension cable in the box, and the initial story still stands as more or less correct. So, is Konami pulling a fast one, or was there an error in the packaging?

Update
: X3F commenter DigitalMatrixIO kindly informs us there is a headset extension cable in the box. This just goes to show you to always go check everything included in the packaging before making any misguided assumptions.

Scott "Bamelin" Strickland of 360 Arcadians was eager to play some Dance Dance Revolution Universe after picking it up today. We started to talk with him about his initial impressions of the game, and he made a startling observation: he couldn't find a slot for his standard Xbox 360 headset. There was a mysterious jack on the side panel near the pad's guide button, but the headset wouldn't fit. We took some pictures over Video Chat of the peripheral to show the predicament.

DDR Universe track list revealed


Orange Lounge Radio has uncovered the gigantic track list for Dance Dance Revolution Universe, which arrives on the 360 later this month. While Guitar Hero II may have a rabid fan base, there is no denying that DDR paved the way for rhythm games in the mainstream. The track list is huge, and contains plenty of names with which we are almost completely unfamiliar. We do have to note with some excitement that the game features both Jamiroquai and the Sugar Hill Gang, though. If there's one song that might actually make you look cool while playing DDR, it just might be "Rapper's Delight." See the full track list after the break.

Dancerific videos of DDR: Universe


GameTrailers released a couple of new videos from the upcoming Xbox 360 iteration of Dance Dance Revolution. The first video (embedded above) is a live action video overlain with the typical DDR interface. The video itself is pretty bizarre, and frankly a little disturbing. The second video is more standard DDR fare, although the digital vixen in the video benefits from a higher polygon count. Seriously, sexy dancing girls and freaky live action videos, it's like Konami is trying to distract the player. Watch the second video after the break.
