Equals a whole lot of scratching

Did my Vanquish/Bayonetta deal not satisfy you? Or were you simply just waiting for a better deal to come along to make you put down your hard earned cash?

This might be right up your alley, then. For those of you who plan on purchasing DJ Hero 2 may want to spring for either the turntable bundle or the party bundle, as you'll be gifted a free copy of DJ Hero, for free! And guess what? This deal isn't region locked!

For those of us in Europe, simply purchase either a "specially marked" turntable or party bundle from a participating retailer, and you'll get DJ Hero for free! As simple as it may sound, it may be similar to what Activision did with Guitar Hero 5, where you had to mail in proof of purchase and the sticker included with the original packaging in order to receive Guitar Hero: Van Halen.

The deal isn't as lucrative here in the United States as it is in Europe. In order to get DJ Hero, you have to pre-order the Party bundle from Walmart. You can ONLY get the freebie from Walmart, pre-order from anywhere else, and you'll wind up with either a tote bag, an MP3 download, or a hard shell case.

With the two games combined, you'll have about 170 mixes at your fingertips to feed your need to scratch. You can check out the list of mixes on DJ Hero 2 here, download the demo here, and be ready for DJ Hero 2 to hit store shelves on October 19th and October 22nd for North America and Europe respectively.

Had the first one, really enjoyed it. considering the second. This is not a bad deal so I can get more achievements from the first one.

And your Vanquish/Bayonetta deal did not entice me, at all.

I didn't get the first one so this is tempting, and it's a good deal, but Rock Band 3's out on pretty much the same day so I'll skip it for now. I imagine a standalone preowned copy of DJH1 is gunna cost about the same as a bag of chips these days anyways.

I'll get into it one day though. For the moment I'll save my plastic instrument real-estate for Keys!

You have to preorder the bundle that comes with the turntable, and there is only one model (besides the shinier renegade one from the first). The DJ hero 2 turntable and DJ Hero 1 turntable are one in the same.
State of the badass art.

I think they are still pretty expensive. Music games take aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages to go down in price.

So my question is for example you preorder DJ Hero 2 (with one turntable and game), will you just get the copy of DJ Hero 1 or DJ Hero 1 with another turntable?

Already own DJ Hero 1; I got it for $40 with the turntable. So the deal really doesn't entice me, especially since, as someone already mentioned, RB3 is coming.

I'm just surprised that there is a DJ Hero 2. I didn't think the first one sold well enough to merit a second.
