DJ Hero date set for Europe

Loaded for late October.

Activision has told Eurogamer that DJ Hero will be released on 30th October in the UK. That's the PS2, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 versions, a spokesperson explained.

DJ Hero, which comes with a turntable peripheral, costs a pricey £109.99.

Whether that will be too high to spark another Guitar Hero-like success for the publisher remains to be seen. Nevertheless, Activision is throwing everything behind DJ Hero, signing big-name DJs to remix original tracks for the game and throwing lavish parties starring Jay-Z and friends.
