How DJ Hero's Downloadable Content Limits True Consumer Choice

Activision is rolling out DJ Hero downloadable content right out of the gate. This is standard, if not expected and explicitly desired, for music games. Activision and developer FreeStyleGames is charging $3-per-mix for the DJ Hero downloadable content, citing "additional creative work" required to get music licensed, mixed, tracked...

DJ Hero DLC More Expensive Due To "Additional Work," Says Developer

The currently announced downloadable content for DJ Hero will run you $3 per mix. By comparison, Guitar Hero 5's individual tracks cost $2.

First DJ Hero DLC Released At $3 Per Mix, Activision Mum On Future Pricing

With music games, it makes sense to have downloadable content as soon as the game's released. It doesn't take long to burn through a track list. Activision has wasted no time in distributing the first "mix pack" for DJ Hero (which I reviewed earlier this week over yonder), but the pack's priced at $6 and doesn't include the ability to...

Have You Played DJ Hero? What Do You Think So Far?

Even though we've seen several iterations and spin-offs of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, it's been a few years since someone had the cojones to introduce a new instrument into the mix.

Activision Working On DJ Hero 2?

According to gamesindustry.biz, an unnamed source says Activision is working with Euro development companies on a "sequel and downloadable content" to music game DJ Hero . Supposedly, musicians DMC Champion and judge DJ Qbert have been approached for inclusion in the new content. Personally, I'm a little skeptical. DJ Hero isn't out...

Activision's upcoming Wii, PlayStation 3 and 360 music game DJ Hero features a unique control peripheral that mimics the experience of mastering the dual turntables and fader of the disc jockey, but the controller will not work with any other music game.

Activision's upcoming DJ Hero music game is bound to raise the roof, get the party started, and let the mother-effer burn -- burn, mother-effer, burn. Andrew Pfister jumped on the wheels of steel over at GamesCom 2009, and was very, very thankful for the game's tutorial: "The note highway in DJ Hero has an array of colors, symbols and...

DJ Jazzy Jeff To Appear In DJ Hero

Back in the 1980s, Will "Fresh Prince" Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff seemingly put to rest an age old mystery by proclaiming: "He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper" on the cover of a record (they had those back then) they made together.
