I was recently at the Sony Holiday event in Toronto and after actually playing it. I am now in love with DJ Rapstar. I haven't been this tempted to buy a game at release since Phantom Hourglass.
As for the DLC boo. boo boo boo. I recognize some of those song as NOT being on the PSN when I checked and that kinda blows. One thing I'm curious about is Rapper's Delight. The original song was like 8-9 minutes long. There's a shortened version that's like 5 minutes long and typically the one you might hear on the radio is about 3 minutes long. Which version will they use?
