Play selling DJ Hero for Ł35 News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Deal includes turntable peripheral.

UK retailer Play is selling DJ Hero with turntable peripheral for the ludicrously low price of Ł35.

That's a 65 per cent saving on the recommended retail price of Ł99.99.

This deal applies to the PS3 version of the game.

DJ Hero was released last October to healthy critical applause - Eurogamer's included. Commercially the game didn't do anything like Guitar Hero sales, but then the starting price was 30 quid higher.

DJ Hero 2 has so far been confirmed by everyone but Activision, although the publisher freely talks about extending the series during investor calls.

Wow, sneaky! That must have just changed; the page I had open still said Ł34.99. Refreshed and, hey presto, Ł89.99. I'll amend the story.

If I work for a retailer, how do I go about getting free advertising from Eurogamer? Or do I have to pay you for articles like this one?

I paid Ł50 for it back in April, haven't played too much of it but it's a very enjoyable experience and for that price a really good deal.

@Bertie,

Yup, must have changed it. It was definately Ł35 for the 360 version when I was browsing the Play offers an hour ago.

Run a deal that a gaming website might find interesting enough to tell their readers about.

Bugger, I payed Ł50 for it a couple of months ago. It's pretty good but I can't see myself buying the sequel unless they radically improve the tracklisting.

You can pick DJ Hero up for €20 when you trade a game in Gamestop stores here in Ireland - best deal I've ever seen. Must have been a mistake! Traded Game just needs to be over €14.99 pre-owned AFAIK.

I bought it when it was half price and it was worth it then - a bargain now!
I only hopes for the sequel are; a) someone starts playing it online, b) they don't make the jump from "medium" to "hard" so ridiculously BIG!!!

^^I know, I was just about to get the PS3 version, refreshed the page and the price went up to Ł89.99. So I did a site search and the 360 version had gone down to Ł34.99 so I bought that..WEIRD

Just hit refresh. 360 is now Ł89.99, rest are still cheap.

I think a squirrel got into the pricing room and they are chasing it with nets.

Yep, PS3 Amazon.co.uk Ł37.50 [link url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002GHB2YI?ie=UTF8&tag=theothersid0c-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B002GHB2YI
]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002G...[/link]

I wonder why the PS3 version is cheaper everywhere? Were Sony owners really against this game? For these prices I might think about getting it.

@kangarootoo A squirel? don't be silly, a big company like play wouldn't let vermin into it's offices.

It's like Eurogamer saying Pigeons had infiltrated it's offices ;P

A lot of wankers in this comments thread

Personally I like that Eurogamer have put this on the page, I wouldn't have heard of it otherwise.

Good job EG, you've probably made a good number of people pretty happy

^^ Yup, I'm happy, lots of others must be too because Play sold out about 3 or 4 hours ago.

Can't wait to give it a go.
