    Does anyone know where i can get a decent DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) mat with usb connection? I know it's a pretty old game but we used to play this a few years back and kinda miss it now... :p

    Not sure if you want to get it used...

    DDR pads can break fairly easily (I know I have.) :|

    How much do you want to spend? I have seen some of the top end metal ones that are like the arcade with USB and PS2 connection for like 300$ :p

    at any rate I just googled "DDR Mat PC" and this was the first result: http://www.ddrstation.com/?gclid=CPmrupu5zpACFRlukgodsC76PQ Looks like a great site with alot of options.

    Edit: Also just realized that if you already have a mat a usb controler converter is an option, I happen to have 2 of them brand new that I am selling that will convert game cube, xbox, or playstation 2 controllers into usb. Im looking for like 15$

    Thanks for the link! I did some googling earlier too, but a lot of the shops are charging ridiculous shipping fees! :|

    You're right.. I didn't think of that. Having second thoughts now... :p

    eBay ones work. I bought some that had usb plugs that also went into a PS2 adapter. They slid around on carpet a lot though.

    Is it just me or does that last post sound more like a advertisement than a personal recomendation....

    If you have a PS2 one you could just buy an adapter, and configure it with Joy2Key to work in your DDR game of your choice :D.
