Yesterday, final DJ Hero hardware arrived in our Baltimore headquarters, along with a short demo of the title that should be playable at retailers this October.

While I’m going to have to spend more time with the demo (it’s only three “DJ-only” tracks, along with one “Guitar vs. DJ” song), I feel pretty comfortable talking about the game’s solid controller. I’ve gotten my hands on it before, but the benefit of getting some alone time with it grants me give a thorough inspection.
