DJ Hero date set for Europe

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.
