DDR used to be great - until the songs weren't as great and the steps/difficulty levels became ridiculous and non-sensical (a'la max300). I stopped playing after 5th mix came out because of the 30-60 minute lines, and like Samah, moved on to Beatmania IIDX. When I was really into it though, I spent a good $20/day at $.75/game, until I got to know the arcade owner and got hooked up with game tokens.
For me, DDR led to meeting wonderful people (and some strange ones...) and making some great friends, and meeting my boyfriend of 3 years - as well as a lot of quality time being spent with my little brother. I don't think it's as dorky as many people think it is, but I guess that's just me.:)
