Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party accessory dance pad (only) availability?

They're on the 'bay if you need them. I ordered two new yesterday for $64 (shipping included). There were several other auctions for 3 pads as well. I couldn't find any non auction sources that could approach this price. (As a bonus, I picked up Mario DDR since I'd never played it before.)

I purchased two Dance Dance Mario Mix pads (same thing as the hottest party pads) from nintendo.com about 1 month ago.
They are great. Price was resonable too ($19.99).

Web site: Go to nintendo store, in gamecube accessories area.
It's called the Action Pad.

I would definately get these. They work flawlessly with Hottest Party (yes I've used it). Even works with the calorie calculator.

FYI: The "Official Konami Pads" are the same as the nintendo Action Pad (issued with DDR Mario Mix). After a little research I've learned that the Nintendo version of the Konami Pad was manufactured by Nintendo. Basically, it's identical to the DDR Mario Mix pad.

Hope this helps.
