Question for video gamers. My wife wants Dance, dance revolution |
|
for her birthday but I have no idea what to buy.
We don't have a Play Station or X Box or any other video games -- nothing.
What do I need to buy and do you have any suggestions??
Thanks in advance for any advice you might have.

1. You need a game system and a dancing mat |
|
There are bundled sets including the game and the dancing mat, usually around 70 dollars I think.
The video game system will cost you between 200-400 dollars, depending if you want an X-Box or PS2.
My advice is to go to somewhere like Best Buy or GameStop and describe your situation.
DDR is great fun and actually a workout :)

7. Holy sh*t!! That's amazing! |
|
My wife has been really bummed because she put on weight during her last pregnancy and has had a hard time losing it. She has a master's in dance and used to take ballet a couple of times a week which kept her in pretty good shape. She wants something she can do when the kids go to bed -- this sounds perfect for her.

4. You need a PS2, the game and at least one set of pads. |
|
2 pads lets you dance more freely and there are also different kinds of pads depending on whether you want a basic plastic mat or a plastic platform more like in the arcade

5. Get PlayStation 2 and the dance pad (software) at Gamestop |
|
or some other gaming place...
It will run you a little over 200...
We have contests in our house...it is a great workout...however I am uncoordinated so it is both a workout and a comedy routine...
