"Official" In The Groove Soft Pad: Product Link
MSRP: $29.99

Product Description:
The Official In The Groove Dance Pad features the durability and accuracy needed to be an official Sony licensed product! This soft pad features the same design and art style present in In The Groove!

The non-slip Official In The Groove Dance Pad uses a unique Grip Tite foam cushion bottom that prevents the pad from moving even on Expert step charts! The pad was designed to give you better sensitivity, resulting in better performances and more accurate gameplay.

Better buttons, higher scores, longer lasting pads, and extra foot support cushioning. This is a great affordable way to play In The Groove!

I assume these are the pads that will be included in a bundle, if not the RedOctane Ignition 3.0.

On RedOctane's website you can get the following game + pad bundles:

*Afterburner Metal Pad + Game
*RedOctane Ignition 3.0 Pad + Game
*This Pad + Game

Am I the only one who finds this funny?

Sony products aren't all that durable or accurate, so I don't see a problem there. Ha ha.

I received one of these today. My full review won't be up until the home version of ITG hits, but here are my initial impressions: for a non-Ignition softpad, it's pretty damned good. Although I wouldn't recommend it for the higher end Expert songs on ITG, I'm pretty sure I could bang out MaxX Unlimited on it without too much of a problem (I'm not going to try today though, I feel like crap). The non-slip surface on the bottom actually feels like it'll do its job, unlike some of the less spectacular solutions offered by previous softpads (particular the DPR2 with its four sticky circles that you were supposed to put on the bottom of the pad -- blech!).

The ITG theme for the pad and ignition disgust me. (Same with the ignition, pads have the blue arrows on the left/right and the red/pink on the up/down. get it right. Afterburner looks SORTA cool. if the ORIGINAL arrow replacements are still in, im gettin those and tossen out those hideous ITG arrows.)

Ridethepig- Whoa, um, strong reaction there to the pad's looks. Personally, I kinda like it, but hey, it's your opinion. I have to admit, looking at it more, the dark gray(black?) and orange color scheme is kind of odd. I don't think it matches the In the Groove theme. I've heard good things about the pad's quality, though.

So you noticed the color swap on Ignition arrows, too? I had never actually seen anyone else say anything about it till you did just now. It never really bothered me, but hey, little things like that can annoy some people.

As for the coffee comment, coffee's fine. Just don't overdo it. =P

To anyone who's bought this and used it: How long do you think it will last? Is it better than the Konami softpad? I'm thinking of maybe getting this pad sometime later in the summer when my other softpads start to crap out (and I actually have the money for it). PLEASE nobody suggest me just getting an ignition, I prefer flat soft pads.

So would you recomned this pad over say a levelsix ignition pad? I have never played ddr befor and really want to start out on the right foot, something that will last me you know. Also did you get the free megamix cd with it, cuz I was wondering what was it and for some reason I really want it now.

I'd reccomend the Ignition pad. *hugs my ROIgnition 2.0 that I bought at store last week*

Well I am sure not going to buy a RO 2.0 just too rich for my blood and levelsix does not seem to be getting any pads soon, so the question is should I get this pad or the gamestop dance pad???

This pad seems better.
