DJ Hero 2 News and Extras

by Kristy Korcz 0

You guys were pretty psyched about the first DJ Hero, and with DJ Hero 2, there's even more reasons to get excited.

Available today, DJ Hero 2 allows you to mix some of music's hottest tracks (Lady Gaga, anyone?), but you can also battle it out with another DJ, add vocals with a mic, and have pals hop in and out of gameplay in the party mode. The DJ Hero 2 Party Pack ($150) includes everything you need to get started — two turntables, a mic, and the game, so you can get your friends involved from minute one. Going solo for a while? There's the Turntable Bundle ($100) that includes the game and one turntable, or just the game ($60) if you already have the hardware.

To sweeten the deal, Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy are tossing in some extras with a purchase. Find out what they are after the break.

Celebrating the DJ Hero 2 launch, Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon are offering these special deals for a limited time:

• Pick up the game from Amazon between Oct. 19 and Oct. 23 and get a free copy of Linkin Park's new album, A Thousand Suns.
• Purchase a Party Bundle or Turntable Bundle from Best Buy and get a free hard-shell carrying case that converts into a game-ready DJ stand.
• Specially marked Wii or Xbox 360 Party or Turntable Bundles at Walmart will also come with a copy of the original DJ Hero to boost your gameplay mixes.

DJ Hero 2 is available now in stores and online for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii systems.
