Free USB dance pad (PC) from Kraft

[slapdash]

For only $9.99 shipping and handling, get a USB dance pad from Kraft (http://www.kraftbrands.com/activegame/pad.aspx?e=email), with which you can play a couple of free PC games they have for download.

Anyone know if this can be used on other systems? If it's really PC only, bah, I'm not interested, but it's kind of tempting anyway.

Is the center point a button or not? If it is..I might have to grab one of these.

[Truffle]

hmmm.
Im mildly interested, since Im sure It wont be dirt common...

Im just wondering if the games are fun.

[Ed Oscuro]

Hmm, cool. Only see two games at the moment, but whatever, looks nifty.

I have no idea. I would guess so, but you'd want to try to contact them, or check out the games to see if the instructions mention it.

My thinking is other games could be written for it, not just by Kraft, or possibly it's a fairly generic controller that works with other games (systems too?) already.

[Ed Oscuro]

Yup, if this could work like a PC DDR pad that'd be great.

I'd imagine it works with stepmania, but that pad looks like a huge POS. If you already have a pad you could get a PS2-USB converter for the same price pretty much.

Weren't there DDR games released on the PSX? If so, then this would be worth the purchase; you could use it on the ePSXe emulator. Heck, you could even try it for that Olympics game Nintendo made for the NES way back when. That game was kinda fun.

What he said.

For $9.99, I can't imagine that this thing would take very much abuse. And I suspect parallel-port dance pads are much more widely supported than any proprietary USB thing.
