Looking for best DDR mat out there.

Mega-Japan · May 20, 2011

So I sort of have limited space where I live right now, so I can't buy one of those crazy metal dance mats. So instead, I need one of those rollable foam ones.

Now, here's the trick. Main reason to buy the mat is to play the PC DDR game StepMania, but at the same time, I'd like for it to be compatible with the Wii because I have some DDR games for it. And having it compatible with PS3 is a plus because I might get some for that too, who knows. I just want a really good dance mat that people like overall.

Any suggestions?

I got a RedOctane Ignition Dance Pad a while ago when I used to play. On there it says PS2/XBOX, but mine came with a USB connector as well. No drivers necessary, just plugged it in and it worked.

It's a hell of a lot more durable than the cheapo roll-up ones.

edit: I think I have the 3.0 one described here, because that mentions the USB connector.

edit2: Apparently there is a 5.0 as well, so I guess I would look for that one.

Uh, did kids just magically disappear overnight? My kids love it, not my sort of thing, but ya know, suits a particular age group.

I used to love it. Not to mention it's a really great workout once you do the harder/faster stuff.

Playstation thingy? You mean that dildo that comes in 4 different colors? Nah, not interested. I like my foot work.

Shame I can't help you with that as I don't know who sells such things over there.

There's a lot of dance mats being sold here, considering Dance Dance Revolution is still popular (even among us 20+ year olds, it's a great exercise indeed).

Which reminds me, I should go download StepMania for my new rig. lol EDIT: on second thought I should just pick up my other rig to save me the effort of downloading 5GB+ worth of songs/simpacks LOL

I could buy a USB dance pad for around $12 (converted from local price). A "4-in-1" dance pad is around $13.50. The "4" there are USB, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii.
