Hmm, dont know whether the DJ'ing will catch on, but then Guitar Hero really took everyone by surprise i think. wonder if they can do that again, DJ'ing sounds slightly more specialised.

DJ Hero... LOL! GL with that.

To be honest it immediately makes me think of those toys you give kids that sit on a flat surface and the kid presses the buttons and they make a sound. Obviously it'll be some kind of table deck setup... Very strange altogether.

Need a guitar with full use of frets. Lots of buttons.
Each button could be an digital setting 0-255 on the analog controller in case they can't figure out how to do it..Mr. Griffith

I think Dj Hero is a great idea and will teach people how to DJ more than Guitar Hero could teach someone to play guitar. I just hope theres a freestsyle mode where you can load in the tunes. Its also going to need a lot of songs.. It would be great if you could use music from your mp3 storage device too.
