Sony Turns PlayStation 2 Into DJbox
An anonymous reader writes "Sony Japan has put some more info about its PlayStation 2 DJ mixing software DJbox onto the official site. Check out the three 'Movie' links at the bottom of the page for video of the software in action - there are a few screenshots on other Japanese sites. The software, which allows you to mix and scratch music on your PS2, is released on July 29th as both a standalone PS2 title, as well as a special Premium Kit version including the PlayStation 2 'BB Unit' (hard drive), which is required to save DJbox creations." There's no word on a Western release yet, but this looks like a neat piece of software.
DJ Box doesn't require the BB Unit aka the PS2 hard drive to play the game. It does require it to save the works that you make. Of course, if you have this game you probably want to save what you mix.
