Heh, I might have stayed with DJMAX TR if:

1. they didn't had that oh-konami-is-suing-me-and-so-i-am-adding-this auto-correct function and
2. there were more human souls (and less hackers, not that it really matter) in the network mode.

And if I wanted to play offline, I can always mash Earthquake HD on O2Mania for years until I can be as good as this guy:
YouTube - o2Jam - Earth Quake HX4 Panic FCed

And no, they're no greedy bastards - there's got to be someone paying for the game servers, you know.

DJMAX TR charges you for the USB profile key and EZ2ON charges you for premium items while providing basic, free gameplay. I prefer the latter not only because the game can be played without spending a single dime, but it seems that such games (where you pay-as-you-play for premium items) seem to be in more active development as their revenues directly depend on its content and quality over time, whereas for the former where you pay one lump sum for the game - they just need to have a good marketing department to convince you to buy it.
