Not sure if it goes here, but it's always possible that the DJ peripheral could cross-talk with our game of choice.

ARTICLE:
DJ Hero confirmed for Wii, 360, 'PlayStation'
By Tor Thorsen, GameSpot Posted Mar 23, 2009 3:41 pm PT Launch of teaser site confirms turntablist Guitar Hero spin-off will come to Microsoft console and at least one of Sony's platforms; Nintendo edition reconfirmed.
As part of its record-setting earnings report last month, Activision Blizzard confirmed that it was releasing DJ Hero this year. In a conference call with analysts, executives said that the Guitar Hero spin-off would be specifically hitting the Nintendo Wii and "a variety of platforms." Other than to express their enthusiasm, they declined to get more specific.
Today, though, Activision launched a teaser site http://www.djhero.com/ for DJ Hero, which is rumored to feature a turntable peripheral similar to Guitar Hero's simulated instrument. Though it offers no new announcements, the site features official logos that reconfirm the Wii edition and reveal that the game is coming to the Xbox 360. The presence of an Xbox Live logo indicates that it will also have an online component of some kind.
Finally, the presence of the PlayStation logo indicates that the game will arrive for at least one of Sony's two consoles currently on the market. A PlayStation 3 version is all but assured, given that Activision has publically aired doubts about releasing new games for the PlayStation 2. In the same conference call referenced above, executives said that their continued support of the aging console--which was released in late 2000--is contingent on Sony cutting its price. Currently, the PS2 sells for $129.99 in North America.
Notably absent on the DJ Hero site are logos for the PC, DS, or the PSP, which has its own dedicated logo. Guitar Hero III was ported to the PC (and Mac) by Asypr in 2007, but no further series installments have been released for home computers. And though Activision has never released a rhythm game for the PSP, a DS DJ Hero is a possibility, given the wild popularity of Guitar Hero: On Tour and its sequel, Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades. _________________

This reminds me of an old game that came out for the PS2 a while ago. If only I could remember the name...Also, IIRC, it was made by Konami. _________________

Beatmania?
I don't know if there are any screen shots of DJ Hero but you may be thinking of Scratch: The Ultimate DJ. That game looks like a complete knock off of Beatmania. |

I like this, because it kinda implies that the article I read in Misc. GH Discussion may be correct. It said DJ Hero, Band Hero, AND Guitar Hero 5 would be coming out, which implies that Guitar Hero 5 might not be full band
I'll wait until I see some screenshots before I get excited about this. It will be interesting to see if there is a high demand for Score-tracking _________________

Don't get your hopes up / mine down.
Band could mean Trombones. THAT kind of band. Or, perhaps, Guitar Hero + Rock Band collab effort? _________________

Beatmania. It's going to be pretty much that. _________________
