DDR Ultramix Song Pack Volume 1

All the downloadable content for other games can be used both online and off, so I trust it will be the same for Ultramix.

There HAS to be a way to get these packs for free...

People need to stand up and say that songpacks shouldn't cost ANYTHING. I know $1 isn't horrible for a song but if you're going to pay $40+ for a game, that should be its final cost -- no add-ons, no continuing committment of cash except for the online service itself.

I fully expect online tournaments to exist where the winners get all the songpacks that exist and will EVER exist for free.

Uh, no, there DOESN'T need to be a way to get the songpacks free. In case you ignored the posts, the 5 dollars is to buffer the licensing fees for songs. How about you stop complaining and suffer if you don't like it?

In a somewhat related matter... and I doubt the sincerity of this, especially with content already available, but why have several online sites just suddenly changed the ship date from the 18th to the first week of December?

Unless we hear differently from OoC, I'm tending to believe the Nov. 18th release date. What possible reason could there be to delay it?

My Konami sources say the release date is still the 18th. Nothing has changed.

Now that that's out of the way:

I konw this is sorta off topic...but oh well...i really dont think that online tournaments would be a good idea at all...because it's just human nature to out do another person...in whatever way possible...even making one resort to using the x-box controller instead of the dance pad...i dunno, that's just my opinion...

think of the whole 1$/song like this...if ddr extreme was on xbox it would cost like $105 dollars. now tell me thats not a crazy price to pay.

then if that was the case DDR would be bad buttocks popular. if people actully did go and buy all those. there would be like new versions of ddr comming out all the time. i think it is an awesome idea to charge a buck per song.

I apologize for officially tainting the thread with my uninformed blood but I seem to be the only person alive that dosen't know how to go about getting the X-Box Live setup so I can actually get the game and start buying them around the time I get my christmas banking. . so yeah. . what all do I need to do?

Well, first you'll need a broadband connection.

Next, you need to purchase an Xbox Live Starter Kit at your fav. game store. Check the price; the updated version is $70, but you can still find the older ones for $50. The only difference is the games that are included. You could, instead of buying the starter kit, use the two month free trial that comes with Ultramix, but you still have to buy the Communicator for $30 if you want to talk.

As far as configuring XBL goes, just pop in the CD that comes with the kit. You will need a Credit Card, but other than that you just fill out forms like your name and address and you pick a Gamertag. XBL will automatically detect your network settings; you may have to do some playing around with numbers there, but for the most part it's sufficient.

And that should just about do it. Pop in Ultramix, sign onto Live, and your set

You still need a credit card, no matter what. It's part of the signup process.

Yup, they require a credit card because the billing system is automatic. They use that credit card to renew your subscription and also to purchase downloadable content. When you download updates for Ultramix or anything else, they prompt you whether or not you want to pay for the download. After that, they don't ask for new billing information, they just use the CC# they have on record. In other words, you're not going to easily rip them off.
