My junior high school had these and some kid drove a screwdriver through one of the pads and we laughed because we were all young and stupid.

A DDR machine, IIRC, retails for about $6000 USD.

When public schools in the US are paying their teachers something on the order of $40,000 annually and can barely afford to do things like bus students and purchase textbooks, I don't think DDR is a budget priority. <p><hr /><div style="text-align:center">Image</div>

While the mats might not last long, they're insanely cheap to replace- I got a set on eBay for five bucks AFTER shipping. So $6000 for one nice metal machine that will cost $6000 to replace, or 1200 pairs of $5 vinyl and plastic mats? You decide! <p><div style="text-align:center">Image</div></p>

Oh no; those aren't the shitty-ass vinyl pads. Those are the nice, metal-and-clear-plastic pads like Cobalt Blue sells. If memory serves, those pads are something like $110 apiece. Which really, considering their durability, isn't a bad deal. Especially if they got a discount for bulk. <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television.

Belatedly, Chris is also correct. If she had time for it anymore, it'd be awesome. To her mind, it is the best perscription EVER. <p><hr /><div style="text-align:center">Image</div></p>

From what I've learned about the machines, you can buy them for about $500, if my memory serves me correctly, out of Hong Kong. My friends were looking into buying one 2 years ago, but we were poor. :(
