And you thought DJ Hero was expensive in America

Europeans will be paying through the nose -- but pay they will, if past Hero franchise figures are anything to go by -- for the next rhythm game from Activision. ShopTo has told Eurogamer that DJ Hero will retail for a ridiculous £108 in the UK. That's about $178 -- a $50 markup from the already silly US price.
Retailers are doing their best to bring the price down to something a little more reasonable, with ShopTo offering the game for £94.85 and HMV listing a £99.99 price point. Still a bit steep, but we suspect the game will still sell pretty decently. Although, that depends on how much Scratch will be selling for ...

Latin_Trident @ Jul 1st 2009 3:28PM

Ok. This one is just rediculous....It would have made more sense just to make one of the DJ's faces her face. And I think it would've been funnier...
charlie b. @ Jul 1st 2009 3:14PM
i don't know...i think it's a clever game mechanic. if this was a real screenshot, i'd pre-order TWO copies of the game.
ryan @ Jul 1st 2009 3:27PM
It would have been more predictable and thus, less funny to me.
bm @ Jul 1st 2009 3:34PM
Yeah, I was looking for her in the faces, and then I suddenly saw her at the bottom and I lol'd. It's funny -because- it makes no sense and is unexpected.

YOU'RE ridonkulous. DEAD SPACE WOMAN is the only way this game will ever become "more mainstream than all the other "Hero" Franchises combined.

what Griffith really meant to say was that his game needed more dead space.
sjenky @ Jul 1st 2009 3:12PM
Deadspace woman should be Joystiq's official mascot
robotoid @ Jul 1st 2009 5:53PM
how can you change your picture???? I've tried for so long and it seems impossible! share your wisdom! please!
muir666 @ Jul 1st 2009 8:51PM

@robotoid
First, you have to stop touching yourself at night (unless you're in public)
Second, you start touching yourself in the afternoon (unless you're in public)
Third, you do dirty deeds done dirt cheap for the staff of Joystiq Nintendo (unless you're in their office)
Finally, you dress like what you want your picture to be (in public)
sjenky @ Jul 2nd 2009 4:44AM
I've tried a thousand times myself, for me it finaly worked when I tried it with Firefox :-)

Anthology @ Jul 1st 2009 3:13PM
This makes up for all of the Pachter we've had the past few days.
Thank you Joystiq, I lol'd hard at this one specifically.

McBrick @ Jul 1st 2009 3:40PM
If that face haunts my dreams tonight, I will go on a worldwind tour of the U.S. and South Africa until I find the 'stiqqer responsible, and I will make them pay. In blood. Or cash, or perhaps swag. I'm easy that way.

Nook @ Jul 1st 2009 3:20PM

Alexxxxx @ Jul 1st 2009 3:22PM

Difference is between this and Rock Band, people actually wanted Rock Band.
The failure of this will be hilarious.

emirabal @ Jul 1st 2009 3:23PM
I am just wondering if anyone will comment on the story or if they will just keep looking for the dead space chick. Either way, im wondering when they will stop.
nomadic0ne @ Jul 1st 2009 3:25PM
Awww...I wanted to see Dead Space Woman as a DJ!
She'd be terrified of how good she is! HA!
...
Ok, maybe not.

bongoes @ Jul 1st 2009 4:04PM
That's how I did my avatar. (If it's the Dead Space woman with the Mario hat, and looks really bad. I've been trying to upload a new one someone else made but it's not working.)
ArchiGamer @ Jul 1st 2009 3:27PM
I don't think ALL comments suck; however, yours does.
