If she likes DDR, she might like Dance Masters/Dance Evolution

That looks really cool, and I'm sure she would like it, but she definatly wants the traditional floor mat style game first. This is too new, too different, if I get her this and no floorpad, she won't play.

Get the kinect because it is the superior device for playing dance games. You can get a kinect really cheap used and in the long run it will save you money because you wont need to buy any extra controllers. Plus Dance Central is the best dancing game in that genre and you can play Just Dance games on it also.

It might be superior, but it's over double the price and Dance Pad is a definate must. Kinect+Games would be a secondary game for her. Also she would have to move you coffee table every time she wants to play Kinect and I just don't see her doing that.

I'd go with the Wii. It's the cheaper option. You can pass and play multiplayer with Just Dance. Hell people just dance along without the controller most of the time.

I had to look up videos of Just Dance to see how it works lol. It's pretty basic, Kinect is more advanced, but since I'm getting this for a 10 year old arcade game port as a primary game, this is a good bonus.

Get the Wii + Just Dance 4 bundle coming early next month, it's only $130.

Yes I am probably going to do this. After some thought I thought this was the more logical option. My girlfriend has never owned a game console, she doesn't want something complicated like 360 w/ Kinect. For $130 and $55 for two DDR games with 2 mats, this whole present costs me $185 which is cheaper then the Kinect/360 system without a game. If she ends up liking Just Dance I can get her a second controller down the road.

 

 

Plus, Wii has Zelda and Super Mario, and I know my girlfriend likes Skyward Sword. Wii might be a good gateway drug to get her into gaming. I may have to get a second controller and some more game focused games for her birthday if she likes this (her birthday is only 2 months after christmas).
