DJ Hero 2 (for Playstation 3 only) is now available at the incredible price of $19.99 on Amazon. Act fast to take advantage of this. Xbox 360 version appears to be out of stock.
"In addition to what will be a slow phasing out process for Guitar Hero and DJ Hero DLC, it was reported that 7 Studios, which was a part of Activision’s music game development team, has officially been closed. Several key employees voiced their disappointment on Twitter and wished one another well wishes in their future projects."
"Target, Toys R Us and Best Buy are all offering deals this week meant to get shoppers to make multiple purchases. Meanwhile, K-Mart is offering a hot deal on Mafia II releasing this week and a similar deal on Red Dead Redemption."

"Activision-Blizzard have today released an updated release schedule for their autumn/winter line-up. Within the schedule are release dates for all of Activision-Blizzard's highly-anticipated releases throughout October, November and December 2009, including DJ Hero, Band Hero and possibly one of the strongest releases of 2009, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2."
"The first game may not be out until the end of next month, but Activision is already recruiting talent for a sequel and downloadable content for DJ Hero.
And GamesIndustry.biz understands that at least one independent UK games developer is already liaising with Activision's FreeStyleGames on DJ Hero 2.
Although not in the first game set for release on October 30, DMC Champion and judge DJ Qbert has also been approached for inclusion in a sequel."
Bobby Kotick's logic has spread to Daniel Rosensweig, CEO of Guitar Hero.
20% of households with consoles own the game. And the GH CEO wants to go after the remaining 80%? Truly it doesn't mean that 80% do not quite like rhythm games or don't have the coordination/rhythm needed.

While it's been said that DJ Hero will allow players to use guitar hero guitars, Activision stated that they might allow reverse compatibility. That is, allowing the turntable peripheral from DJ Hero to be used in Guitar Hero. While it may be too late to implement this feature in Guitar Hero 5, Activision are looking into this for future versions.
Love the idea or hate it; the fact is that Dj Hero is coming and there's nothing much anyone can do to prevent it. Some info has been released by Activision as to what gamers can expect from this spin off from the Guitar Hero series: With over 100 tracks listed aswell as the ability to battle other DJ's and being able to scratch, mix and sample, Dj Hero is truly going into new territory.
