Pretty cool, I'm sure my gf will enjoy the Rihanna and Janet songs. I just hope they keep on coming out with some good DLC...and not take forever for it to come out. Also, some more up to date songs would be great.

I agree, 2.99$ per song is pretty expensive. They should make it 1.99$.

"Disturbia" isn't all that, well for a dancer but it is kind of fun although VERY tiring on your right arm, haha.

I LOVE "Control". It's hard at first but yeah, I really like the complicated intricate moves.

Best Buy had "Control" for free via a DLC card with the purchase of Dance Central a few weeks ago.

I just got Dance Central and $2.99 seems like a "little" much for a song but my wife likes it and it's less than a coffee at Starbucks.
