MTV are being whores to EA at the moment. Not to say that it isn't a good match. MTV sucks at music and EA sucks at video games. Here's some proof of my statement: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/tfr/86869159.html

At least give it a chance and vote. Spread the word out.

Scripted winners or not, the entire community can make one hell of a dent with the voting.

if ddr wins think of all teh publicity it'll get there will be so many more newbz to the game (not that its a bad thing) but it may actually get so bad that ur ussually reserved arcade time (3-6) on player 2 pad is taken

and most of all it would be annoying people thinking that they could "beat the game" when in reality they dont know how to play... but hey why dont the pro's show them how its done thats about the only good part but hey like thats ever going to happen....

no one else will vote for dance/techno when they have rap and rock soundtracks to choose from................................ the only votes that DDR will get are from DDR'rs and what few techno geeks are left in this nation. the rest of the teenage population will want rap and rock.

it wont win, Tony hawk underground will win.

The DDRfreak community is not larger then the Emo/Goth/Punk community that religiously watches MTV, Even if you could out vote them MTV would be like "now how is that gonna fly with our ratings" and just like that the winner is changed.

I HATE MTV, this is how it went down "Hey john, lets put DDR in the best video game soundtrack catagory just so we give people something pointless to talk about" "Yeah that'd be so (word of the week)"

VH1 = 50 most awesomely bad songs ever = The greatest 2-5 hours of my life.

THUG2 will definitely win, even though I use custom soundtracks when I play.

Think of this, though. DDR shouldn't win, but the nomination video should include footage of people playing in arcades, REALLY hardcore-like. That way, you go from a group of guys sitting around on a couch, then someone dancing really hardcore to DDR, then back to couch-boys, and nobody will know what to think. The celebrities won't know what hit them. People will be like, "How could that came not win?! Look at the energy! THE ENERGY!". And maybe if we're lucky, when Bam goes up to accept an award for music he probably had no part in picking out, people will riot and throw something at him.

People havent even listened to the REAL DDR Extreme soundtrack. (Just that crappy promo one) and if they did they should bow. And THUG is the worst thing to happen to one of my favorite games.

omg, i bet you that instead of hardcore players they are going to get a famous person to play on light and everyone is going to be like wow what a gay buttocks game but if they did have someone playing psmo everybody would be like awesome yo. But mtv is an buttocks so they will probably ruin it for everyone.

I don't think an army of people AAAing PSMO is going to make DDR look any more hardcore. Sure, it might impress the 9 year olds watching MTV at the time but the other 90% of the viewers aren't going to be impressed by a bunch of lanky japanophile dorks pounding their feet really fast.

It's lame that they included only games with licensed music. The category should be best game soundtrack or score, so they can recognize games with only original music.

I think DDR Extreme SHOULDN'T win anyway. As it is, it's almost universally considered the worst DDR musically and Konami didn't even front the cash to score the original artist's performance for the few ****ty pop tracks it does have. I'm all for DDR getting more exposure, but if had a choice between listening to Extreme's soundtrack and the soundtrack of the other nominees, I'm pretty certain I'd prefer the others.

The thing is with a song like LoM on the soundtrack that most people wouldn't even consider music, why would anyon except someone who plays the game even consider it?

That's not always true though. Look at MaxX Unlimited, it's in the same "Hardcore Techno" whatever the hell that is genre that LOM is in, but yet Naoki used the bass line in Sakura.

I doubt most people would focus on LOM when there's stuff like V (for Extreme), Simply Being Loved, and Music on there.

And if DDR does win, I wonder who will accept the award: Naoki, Jason Enos, a BeForU member (probably Riyu)?
