Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



The video above is apparently the intro to DJ Hero, as uploaded by the folks from Official Xbox Magazine. (Thanks to ultima301 for the heads up!) It's... interesting, to say the least. We don't have any idea what's going on, or why DJ Shadow's eyes are glowing green. We're kind of freaked out, honestly.

If the intro video has you more amped up than confused and scared, you might want to head over to your GameStop this Sunday. All GameStop locations will be hosting playable demo sessions with the game from 10:00am to 6:00pm. There you'll not only have a chance to play the game, but also win a slew of prizes (listed after the jump) just for showing up. 

Anyone planning on leaving their house on Sunday to play DJ Hero?

That was... uhhh... different. DJ Shadow sure does look menacing.

...Can't wait to play that Dizzee Rascal/Justice mix though. Sounded pretty cool.

That was actually pretty cool, even if it made less sense than that Rock Band opening.

I'm a fan of almost all music genre's but I never wanted to play samba de amigo, donkey konga, guitar hero, rock band or any of that other bullshnickety. I did however get a little amped up watching the trailer...maybe I should go ahead and go to gamestop this weekend and see if I like the game.

Also, I have played guitar hero and i'm absolutely horrible at it, even on the easiest settings. I've just never been good with the music genre. I still admire them for all they do / did in terms of innovation blah blah blah...just...not my cup of tea normally.

probably too expensive to let my wife let me buy it. I have to put all game purchases through her to make sure i don't break the bank with all my gaming shenanigans.

My local GameStop in Santa Monica has had a playable demo going for about a week now. I wonder if they weren't supposed to bust it out so early.

Dude, I'll totally stop by my Gamestop to play some DJ Hero. Looking forward to that.

moral of the video: take the turntables away from ginger kids and let the black people make the music or your party is going to be a disaster.

Dunno about you guys but that was badass. Not as good as TB:RB but badass nonetheless.

Of course it had Justice so it was bound to be badass.

Hmm... This trailer has piqued my interest. This would probably never happen, but it would be awesome if you could screw and chop music in the game.

I'll probably end up picking this up a year from now when it's dirt cheap because the economy sucks enough to where people didn't want to spend $120 for a cheap plastic turntable.
