Hardware/Software Advice for a Complete Newbie

Hi folks,

I'd like to get DDR setup on my PS2 for my girlfriend. I'm pretty sure that she'll love it, but I don't what to spend too much only to have it sitting in the cupboard gathering dust. I was looking on Amazon, and I thought I would buy the title, DDR Max 2: Dance Dance Revolution and the Dance Pad Revolution 2 mat. Would anyone care to comment on whether or not these are good choices?

I'm about 185lb and my girlfriend is maybe 135lbs - I don't want something flimsy that will break when I try out my latest dance moves

If there's something a lot better for not-much-more money, please let me know. Thanks very much in advance for any replies!

- Best regards,
Yawboy

DDRMAX2 is better for people who haven't played the game as it has a wide genre of music, so that would be a good first DDR game I think. As for a pad, you could get a NX pad or DX soft pad if you don't know yet whether your girlfriend will like it, than later down the road a nice metal pad would probably be due . You can try one of these pad bundles

for a first as I have had it for a month and a half and it still works great considering I'm always doing 8 and SOME 9 footers.
