I am so glad I'm not the only one who shelled out for the Renegade. Rock on bro!

Yeah, everyone thinks I'm crazy for spending that much on a game I've never played. I have faith it will be good though and getting a metal turntable w/case is too good a deal to pass up. It also means I'll only need to buy the disc when DJ Hero 2 inevitably comes out.

Confusing.

@AgentMoo: A slipmat is used on the turntable, with the center spindle going through the hole in the mat. A turntable spins a platter at a constant rate, which is fine for just listening to music, but if you intend to scratch or even beatmatch records, you need to make adjustments to the record and have the record return instantly to playing normally, not to mention that you don't want to fight the turntable motor driving the platter to stop the record. So, you use a slipmat that goes between the record and platter, and when you press on the record, the record stops spinning while the platter remains spinning at a constant rate. Scratch it, hold it, cue it, whatever, and when you're done, release the record, and the record will begin spinning in sync with the platter again.

If you're just listening to records, you want a rubber mat that will prevent slipping, but to DJ, you need slipmats.

Now, exactly why you'd need a slipmat on a stationary DJ Hero faux-turntable? Beats me.

By the way is there a wallpaper version of that picture? I've been looking fiercely for one.

Well this stuff is a little late in the game to announce. Doesn't matter though since I preordered from Sears. Thanks to coupon codes, I have it for $101.93 shipped.

I really wanna buy it, but it needs some Dre first. Its a massive gaping hole in the track list. I need a guarantee on that, to guarantee my purchase.

If they offered a bundle pack that came with Daft Punk helmets I would buy it on the spot even though I have no interest in DJ Hero.
