Need opinions on a dance pad please.

I need peoples opinions on this. As It would be a first buy for me. Also, Would an American In the Groove work on a UK PC? I'm buying this from the US as I can't find any decent ones in UK sites. Plus, If I buy from ebay there coming from the US or Hong Kong anyway, at the same price too. So, your thoughts please. I don't know much about buying proper pads like these.

Edit: OOoooOoooOo. There was this one. It looks nicer as well.

Thoughts please.

Thanks in advance.

I go with niether, If I were you I would get the RedOctane Metal Dance pad or a Colbalt Flux

SethSquall · 01-13-2007, 12:39 PM

Well the thing is. Those two up there are in my price range. Link maybe please?

SAY SOMETHING HELPFULL PLEASE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT!

What about that. It's a bit pricey and I would have to buy an adapter separately so I can plug it into the pc. I really would like something cheaper. Not that much cheaper but down to at least 230 240 USD.

Edit: So RedOctane and Colbalt Flux are the ONLY pads to go for? There's no chance that the ones I selected would be any good and do the job. I don't mind spending the money but not so much for buying a brand name if there are cheaper pads that are just as good.

Edit: Oh and I won't be using this for the PS2. Only the PC.

I always go for the soft pads, they lasst a good long time without any seriouse problems to the gameplay, most now cost about 20-30$ (not sure about the number in your currency) but no NOT go for pellocan OR MadCatz, they are cheaply made and wear easily, go for redoctane or the ones you can buy at a gamestop.

Someone really needs to make a sticky about this.

The RedOctain 3.0 is the best soft pad at 80 bucks in USA dollars. It works for PS, PC, and Xbox and last about a year at least. I own that pad and can say it's the best soft pad ever.

BBUUUUTTT, If you can, Get the Metal one.

Thanks everyone. Onto my other question, Will a US In The Groove work on a UK pc?

**MixMasterLar** · 01-14-2007, 01:01 PM

Dont Know.

Look at the CD (ITG) format and see what it is. then try and see if you comp can run it. I heard it can, and that Microsoft standerized computers in the US and UK, but I DONT KNOW FOR SURE!!!!!

Ask Tibs or the RapingDragon, their in the UK and seem to know about stuff like that.
