Dance Dance Revolution Pad Recommendation

Dyne · 08-07-2005, 04:07 PM

Depends how much dancing you're going to be doing. I bought mine for about $32 and I think it's great quality. I used it as part of my warm-up routine for months on end and it held up.

I'd get the cheaper one with a warranty. Then you can replace it once it starts tearing, etc.

And play with socks on those pads. Bare feet and shoes both hurt it. Plus, socks allow you to slide to steps, which saves a lot of effort. Also, try not to fold the pad up like it came packaged. Just throw it across a table or something when you're not using it; this saves a lot of stress on the receptors. You could also hang it up somewhere non-chalant.

My two friends both use Ignition pads and from personal experience, I'd say they're great:

I went to four stores looking for DDR and a pad and couldn't find either at even one store. Guess I'll have to order online.

I saw DDR Ultramix and Xbox pads at a bunch of Fred Meyers I went into when I went to the states.

You don't have a PS2, do you? They issued reprints of Max1 and Extreme so those are easy to find.

Nope, Xbox and GameCube. I just ordered Ultramix and a pad online with free shipping. Good enough.
