Standalone DJ Hero turntables available at NA retailers photo

What gives? Weren't there standalone DJ Hero turntable peripherals for sale before? You are correct! Back in early December, Activision was selling the controllers directly from its site for a pretty penny. Now, all North American retailers can join in the fun of carrying even more large music game-containing boxes.

We got the heads up that this deal is now in effect, meaning you can presumably run out today to pick up an extra DJ Hero controller for $59.99. Sounds more appealing than paying $99.99 for a full game + turntable bundle. Although, didn't Amazon recently have the bundle for $59.99? Now there's a bargain.

It's also worth mentioning that the first 100,000 people who pick one of these packages up will receive a free poster for their valiant efforts. Based on the image we received, I'm led to believe this is the world's smallest "poster."

I WANT to want to have money to spend on that.

It's just removed enough from justifiable.

Poor Activision and their arrogance in thinking they could sell these things without making the sale to the market. Too bad, I keep hearing the game is actually good. Maybe next time.

Just brought the game bundle the other day for £50. (approx $67) I didn't buy it at launch because these things always drop in price after a few months to a closer approxximation of their true value.

Heck, the Renegade Edition has been slashed by almost £100 by most UK online retailers!

Real turntable: $80

You have to be fucking kidding me. There's no way it costs Activision (well, more like they're Chinese suppliers) anywhere near $60 to make that piece of plastic.

I wonder if it's possible to get the DJ controller to interface with Tracktor/Abelton Live. If so this would make a really nice, if simplistic, USB DJ controller.

@TVs Frank: the 360 one at least is wireless, unfortunately.

I very much doubt they will sell 100,000 of these things.

Picked up the game with turntable brand new for £45 yesterday, I'll probably pick up a spare turntable second hand though.
