    DJ Hero delivers an all-new interactive music experience that allows players to rule the party and not only experience, but to hear music in an all-new way. With over 100 individual songs, highlighted in over 80 unique never-before-released mixes that blend genres of music, including hip-hop, R&B, pop, rock and electronica, DJ Hero delivers the most diverse and international collection of music ever assembled in a music game by incorporating anthems from legendary artists.

    Created exclusively for DJ Hero, the turntable controller immerses fans into the authenticity of DJ culture and a sea of music as they utilise and master various DJ techniques including scratching, blending, cross fading and sampling, while leaving room for creative expression with a variety of effects and player chosen samples and scratches, transforming a face in the crowd into the life of the party.

    * Start The Party, Rule The Party: From intimate settings to the largest club events around the world, the DJ is the life of the party. DJ Hero gives gamers a chance to step to the front of the room in the most socially expressive experience by combining exhilarating gameplay, the hottest music and world-class DJs with the all-new turntable controller (see image below).

    * Music Sounds Better With You: With over 100 individual songs included on-disc, highlighted in over 80 original exclusive mixes, DJ Hero compiles a massive set list spanning hip-hop, R&B, pop, rock, electronica, and almost everything in between, from world renowned artists like David Bowie, Blondie, Justice, Marvin Gaye, KRS-1, Beastie Boys, Gorillaz, N.E.R.D, Nirvana and 50 Cent.

    * Bust A Move: DJ Hero drops the needle on the record for gamers and immerses them in common DJ techniques including mixing, sampling and various scratch patterns while offering social expression with freestyle effects and samples. Accessible to many audiences, all will feel comfortable spinning on the turntable controller that blends the unique DJ Hero gameplay with a host of authentic DJ cultures. So don't just stand there, bust a move!

    * Battle The Best or Scratch And Strum With The Rest: With DJ competitions playing a large role in DJ culture, from impromptu battles to the DMC World DJ Championships, inclusion of the DJ vs. DJ competitive game mode is a natural fit, giving beat chemists the option to battle head-to-head to determine virtual DJ supremacy. Additionally, two DJs can mix and scratch together on multiple turntable controllers, a player can join in to emcee over any track in the game with a mic or, using a Guitar Hero guitar controller along with a turntable controller, gamers can perform a series of infamous DJ-guitar exclusive mixes, just as many of the artists in DJ Hero have.

    PS - you can also buy the PS2 version for a tenner cheaper here

    Be aware that the Hut may not ship larger/heavier items to Ireland any more. Not saying they don't ship this particular item, but I had an issue recently with Sendit (part of the Hut group now) where they wouldn't ship a heavier item outside the UK.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,193 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    You can also use code 'HWALK' for a further £3 off.. should work out at about €94.

    Have ordered it anyways.. will let ye know if they e-mail me with shipping problems.

    TheHut canceled my order anyway, claimed that they weren't shipping DJ Hero to Ireland. I'll pick it up in Tesco instead. Thanks!

    Just to add, when I ordered Wii Fit from them (well, sendit) I too got a dispatch notice. When it had not arrived within 2 weeks, i contacted them and after a week or so of emails, I found out that it had not been dispatched at all (as they "dont ship electronics outside the UK" due I think sending them by courier) Anyhow, as they had taken payment they agreed to send me out one (by courier) So keep an eye on it. Took aprox 4 weeks from date of dispatch/payment taken for me actually to have the Wii fit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,193 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    I'll pop them an e-mail asking them to ensure it was sent to me.

    And if not to refund me the money..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,193 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    This arrived today... 7 days (5 working days) after despatch.

    Not too shabby - seems most of my Internet buying has been unaffected by this Royal Mail strike.

    Any good mate? Thinking of picking this up.

    It's just been taken out of the box..

    Probably won't get to play it til later tonight but I'll let ya know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,193 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Great fun game Johner.

    The beginner is very easy.. but when you start bringing tapping, scratching and cross-fading into it when you reach Medium - it becomes quite a challenge!

    I'd recommend it.

    I tried Argos in Dundrum and it was €129.99 (same as Tesco). Picked up a copy in HMV Dundrum for €114.99.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,193 ✭✭✭✭Basq
