@geekgrrl: If you have a 360, DDR Universe 3 is most excellent. The stepcharts are very fun, the songlist is extremely varied and interesting and Konami's putting out DLC for the game pretty regularly so far.

Just stay away from DDR X. Not only is the songlist fairly disappointing (aside from a few returning classics), but the announcer is one of the most ridiculously horrible things ever.

"delivering fun and excitement..." at the cost of looking like a total idiot.

@Obey__: I may look like a total idiot when I play DDR, but no one really sees me doing it. And give me something that will cost me only 50$ and provide me with a lot of cardio during the winter months. Sure, I could invest in a tredmil, or other workout device, but those are a lot more expensive than a package that includes a game and a dance pad.

It really is an excellent way to get exercise during the summer months. Of course, at the start when you aren't good at it you won't burn many calories, but once you can do difficult, let alone expert, you'll be working up quite a sweat.

I use DDR all the time as a cardio workout, or to warm up my body before I lift weights. Its acually really great for what it does.

@dipper: Unfortunately, once you start doing heavy/expert, those plastic pads don't last long enough to be worth anything. Metal pads are still too expensive for my liking (and most others) but it's pretty cheap to fashion one yourself that's just as good as an arcade machine.

I don't recall Subway having a DDR promotion before... but Burger King did.

@BPMΣ: I know McDonalds did too. One of their restaurants I went to in Calgary had this cute kid style setup with a little metal pad. Not really a promotion per-se, but hey! This is McDonalds I'm talking about.

Anyway, I think this is a great idea. I've known people who lost over a hundred pounds playing and it's pretty much the only form of exercise that doesn't bore me.
