And outspoken music journo C.W. at Rolling Stone, got this great quote from Flash:

“It’s not gonna be DJ Suitcase, DJ Receiver and DJ Coffee Cup. It ain’t gonna be that.” More than 12 DJs have produced more than 80 exclusive mixes to be used as part of the gameplay.

The price for all this goodnes: $120. Damn.

Don't know if I'd buy it, but I'd review the crap out of it.
