I think it's safe to say that My First Dance Dance Revolution is clearly not being marketed toward you.

Class...

Having now gone out and found that the MFDDR is apparently real, I have to ask, when are they coming out with My First Beatmania?

I just have to say that that made me smile.

Only smile? That just about made me piss myself. Then again, I'm easily amused.

Is 20 songs all they could fit? Id think they could do more than that...
Whats with the 2-step and 4-step thing?

I bet they are going to advertise this alot with that tv show...

All the songs have to be stuffed into a ROM. There's no optical media or a hard drive. 20 songs probably takes up about 200MB for the audio and any background animations. They probably used a 256MB ROM (given the above size), leaving 56MB for the game program, steps, interface graphics etc. It's a reasonable size. Mask ROMs are cheap, but not cheap enough that you can just go around putting 512-1GB ROMs in $20 devices. Also realize that any compression they use is probably very simple (likely MP3 since hardware decoders are cheap) as the processor running it isn't likely very powerful. This further squeezes size requirements.

Yea, I honestly don't see the my first DDR product working.
