Standalone DJ Hero turntables w/ poster now available

by Alexander Sliwinski on Mar 23rd 2010 3:27PM

DJ Hero turntable controllers are now available in standalone versions to scratch on all major consoles... wait, that sounds wrong. The peripheral is currently listed on retailer Amazon for $60, which is $20 off the Wii game bundle, and $40 off the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. The second peripheral can be used for several different modes the game supports.

The first 100,000 standalone units also include a Shepard Fairey poster (pictured), featuring the game's cast of DJs. If you're a hardcore fan of the turntable series, chances are you've already picked up a second controller by now and traded the extra copy into Gamestop. For the rest of us, with DJ Hero 2 somewhere out there, we'd be more apt to wait and see if there's an updated controller with the sequel.

Crossfader on mine stopped working, so I may need to invest.

Interesting because I often see people that play that game standing alone too.

Now, now. Let's play nice. Discounts are good news.

It's Activision. Of course the current turntable won't work in DJ Hero 2.

I'm all for ragging on Activision, but what GH guitar or drum set didn't work with a sequel?

I really hope the new one doesn't come with a new controller.. they're having a hard enough time moving the first one.

I would love some upgrades to the gameplay though.. like when you enter Euphoria a little warning that your crossfader is offtrack before you exit causing your streak to break. Also the sampler parts should give you more points the more you use it, it only gives you points for using it once :\

Cash in while you can Activision.

Why would you buy this stand-alone again? It's a peripheral used for one game - a game that comes bundled with it.....

Co-op.

"The second peripheral can be used for several different modes the game supports."

Your reading has improved +1.

For the achievement!

To tell you the truth, I might be buying this JUST for the one bronze trophy. It's the last one I need for platinum, and I don't know anyone who has this game... Maybe I'll wait til amazon has them for $30, though.
