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 t
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. Could the only way to use the "Voice" over Xbox Live multiplayer advertised on the back of the box be with the Wireless Headset? More photos and analysis after the break.
It looks like Dance Dance Revolution Universe has run out of breath. Originally set for a fall 2006 debut on the Xbox 360, Gamespot is reporting that DDRU has been delayed until early 2007. Konami cited Microsoft's draconian rules for 3rd party peripherals as the reason for the delay. Which leads to the next tidbit: because of said draconian rules, the DDR dance pads will be wired on 360 (at least initially). Wireless pads are a definite possibility for the future.
