DDR for 360

So, I've got DDRMax 2 for my PS2. I've got 2 pads. Do I get the new 360 version of DDR, DDR Universe? Will a PS2 to USB converter work for this?

I really got the game more for my wife than anything. And the idea of hooking up a corded device to my new $400 white box is appalling and frightening to me. I know at least once I slipped and pulled the PS2 out of the entertainment center and onto the floor with the old game (yes, I am THAT uncoordinated). But I think the PS2 can take a beating better than the 360.

I only did DDR to kind of change up my workout routine (so I'd go for 4 week bursts of working out, rather than my usual 2 weeks). I think now I'd rather play Oblivion while on the elliptical, if I can do that without killing myself (both IRL and in the game). And the wife says if we moved the elliptical into the room with the 360 she'd Zuma her way to better health on the elliptical.

There was a short (very short) conversation about moving the 360 from the room with the 52” HDTV and surround sound to the room with the 27” SDTV and the elliptical. It went something like this:

Her: “You know, we could…”
Me: “No. Absolutely not.”

I think that was the one argument I have won in almost 7 years of marriage, so I thought I’d document that here.

Oh, and here’s a shoutout to Ben Kuchera at Ars Technica who kind of inspired this post.   I also claim most times to use the word "elliptical" in a non geometry related blog. Can I get a bump on my Gamerscore for that?

Indeed, your use of elliptical is rather eclectic, almost rennaisance. Too bad you do it in januari... In december it would have had a definate fin-de-cicle flavor it. :D
