Following the success of MASP, Team Ranking Task-Force is pleased to announce it's next DanceDanceRevolution competition is now scheduled for the weekend of August 1&2.

While MASP was Performance-focussed, this next event will be a Score Competition, featuring sections for multiple skill levels, and different play styles. This will be a massive event, in the tradition of the old PSSP Competitions, and we invite all DDR players to come and take part!

Stay tuned to the site as more information will be confirmed soon.

Those of you who have seen the MASP Results posted in Timezone will note that our next competition was planned for July, however between school holidays, the monthly Justice League event, and other personal committments for the team, there were no suitable weekends left. We apologise for the delay, and hope to see you all competing in August.

As announced by Team Leader H.Edward, Team Ranking Task Force's next competition will be taking place on Saturday, May 2.

Marvellous Attack Sound Party will be a DDR Performance Competition, with cash prizes on offer for Single ($200) and Team ($300) performances.

We will also be running a Marvellous Attack event to get everyone involved in the competitive spirit on the day.

MASP will mark RTF's 21st Competition, and H.Edward's first trip back to Australia in 2 years. Whether you have a performance to share with the crowd, or just want to come down and see what others have to show, we hope you'll join RTF at Timezone Albert St for what promises to be a fun day.

The information sheet below is now up at Timezone Albert St, and should be appearing at other Timezone and Replay stores around Brisbane soon. If you have any specific questions about the competition we would be happy to answer them for you. Please register for the forum and leave your comments here.

We will keep this post updated with extra rules information, so please check back here often!

Start Time: Registration at 10:30am, First Round at 11:00am
Dinner: 7:00pm

RTF will also be holding a special After-Comp Dinner as a thankyou to all competitors. A booking has been made at Han Woo Ri restaurant in Mary St, and meal prices will be greatly discounted. We need numbers, so please ensure to let us know before Midday on Competition Day if you would like to be part of the group.

Timezone Albert St has today installed the DanceDanceRevolution X upgrade, replacing their SuperNOVA2 cabinet.


The latest DDR brings a host of new songs, graphical tweaks, USB memory support, some updated revival tracks, and possibly the greatest addition of all: MC Hammer.

TZ have set the pricing to $2 for 3 songs ($1.50 for VIP card holders) which is to be expected for a new title. USB ports were not yet active this afternoon, but the techs have promised to work on getting those fixed shortly.

So what do you think of the new mix? Which songs are worth checking out? Leave your comments and share my love your thoughts.

Konami has put up a location test page announcing the latest in the DrumMania/GuitarFreaks series: V6 BLAZING!!!

Nothing else has been posted to the Konami site as yet, so no further details are available on the title.

With the growing strength of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, I think it's safe to expect more classic rock tracks and a renewed focus on rock and metal music styles as with V5.

Well, as you all may or may not know. It is being arranged with Konami to connect Australia with the e-Amuse network. It has been very slow going, and unfortunately I have merely been a spectator in the arrangements.

I have recently been in contact with the South East Asia Konami Representative who will be initially launching the system for two store locations. Timezone George Street and another location in Melbourne that I do not know. I do not know how soon it will be online, and I've not got high hopes, but it is under way.

Being a store Owned by the owner of Replay, if it is successful it will no doubt quickly spread to his locations in Brisbane before hitting any location available.
