Great concept! Im' mastering medium difficulty right now but its the hard/expert settings that make you feel like your actually controlling every single scratch, fade, rewind, and effect down to the milli second! Expert takes the precision of a surgeon but mastering anything difficult for the masses is a reward in itself which makes it fun now matter how many times you lose the track synchronization. I initially found it very difficult to multi-task so many things but practice makes perfect and when you get good...oh wow, you get that feeling of mastering your domain! Its great. So many songs (over 90) and genres mixed with such gracefulness providing the perfect balance for all to enjoy.

There's a few things that need improvement from my perspective.

1st
While scratching for periods of time your fingers start to ache giving you early signs of arthritis...lol. I believe its the either buttons could be designed better on the platter or its just my over-exertion pushing themin hopes to be insyc. I'm testing a softer approach and seeing how long I can go before they start aching( so far so good and I feel more smooth/professional at it)

2nd
You have to buy double A batteries (although it comes with a pacl) in order to use. Instead of designing it to take advantage of a 360 battery pack or atleasta usb connection they left us in the cold with more (albeit...minor) expenses and its a rediculous inconvenience. They lost points there.

3rd
Price point....$119.00.........I mean come on! It should of came with a second platter table(for the left side) and 360 battery functionality for that price....ATLEAST! I know the economy aint great but lets step our game up activision.

Overall
The experience is rivaled by none except real dj-ing!
They just need to streamline the platter buttons for better fucntionality and get rid of the battery inconveniences. Add vocals for the DJ and a allow you to creat your own mixes with either trax from your hard drvie or game disk. Make it happen on the next version and we might have a rockband/ guitar hero killer! Heh-heh-heh Stand up my hip-hoppers! We already took elvis's spot with Jay-z being the solo artist with the most abums to hit number 1, so lets keep it moving and knock out the beatles!
