Getting a Cobalt flux.

BemaniAK · 07-08-2008, 02:06 AM

I've decided to buy a Cobalt Flux, but I'm not really sure about some things.

Can they be shipped to Australia?
Does the 1-player pad come with a bar?
And I'm under the impression it can plug into a PS2, and a PC, correct?
And last of all, Can it pretty much handle all the songs on DDR and ITG, I got a mat and it was crap, crippled under level 6 songs, LEVEL-BLOODY-6 SONGS, Is there a maximum level that a Cobalt Flux can handle?

Yes (expensive).
No.
If it has the new USB box, Yes.
Yes.

What's your current DDR / ITG lvl ?

I saw people clearing easyly song like Ubber Rave on a cobalt flux , no bar.

So , if you just play lvl 8-9 or even 10 , the cobalt flux is good enough.

Now , if you are currently playing vertex Beta on a dedicab and want to have the same feeling home ... just don't think about it .

No. But with a little googling, you can find guides on how to install one yourself.

I wonder if a blueshark might be a little more to your liking. Usually when people want an arcade-like experience, they prefer the blueshark. The Cobalt flux is better for those of us who were raised on console versions

Fluxes are definitely worth it. I've had mine for a good 4 years now and only now is it beginning to show signs of age.

I haven't cleaned it any either, if that helps you understand how durable they are.

I was raised on console versions but I'd like a Blue Shark better. >_>

Well the only Blueshark that I would like is out of stock, and I can't find any Blueshark with PC input, I'd like to use it for ITG PC and Stepmania, most of the time.

The only thing I would hate about Blue Shark is that the 2" with the handle (or was it 3"?) is out of stock a lot and the new ones take 2-3 days to make but still is out of stock many times.

I might just find something to put behind the pad to act as a bar.
My weight pretty much makes the bar necessary.
