anyway, im a long time player of the DJ max series, and keep hearing things about how konami has the best rythem game, beatmania.


now ive picked up the american version through various connections and it left me....disappointed to say the least.

So to the meat of my question.


I want to get into Beatmania and i come to the source for advice on where to really start.

Here is a List of equipment i currently have to work with.

Low income to spare
Ps3 w/ backwards compatability
X360
Wii
Low End laptop pc
1080p tv
xbox
gamecube
dreamcast


So please any suggestions on stuff i need to get to get started would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ^^
Since you have the controller already, the cheapest way to get started is to get a used PS2 (has to be slim PS2), tape mod it and buy a swap disc, the whole thing should cost you around 100$. Then start importing, you should be able to find used copies of IIDX in the market place here for around 40$ shipped.

PS3 is region free only for PS3 games, PS2 games are still bounded by region, and any game before 12th style is unplayable on a HDTV due to lag.
