The ribbon search looks a good idea

I think with the usb input on there and the link feature, there's a chance you'd never actually play a cd.

The CDJ-2000 will be available in November 2009 with a suggested retail price of $2,150.
The CDJ-900 will be available in December 2009 with a suggested retail price of $1,600.

$2150??

Re: Its OFFICIAL: New CDJ-2000 & CDJ-800

thats MSRP = Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price which 99% if the time is the highest price and rarely sold at the price unless your gullible enough to pay that. MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) has not been announced and won't likely be until they ship, which is the more common price guide by online stores and large consumer dealers. You might find them $50-100 cheaper than MAP when these hit the streets when you see "CALL FOR PRICING" wording in ads.

if you own a club that's not really a lot of money but for an individual it's def on the steep side

There is absolutely no way I could afford that! Maybe in another year when the financial outlook might look a lot better?

I agree. For a club no problem at all. For me that's a lot of nights I won't be eating dinner.

Why would anyone want to buy this unless they own a club?
Its the same thing as using traktor, serato etc at like 5 times the price. Its a joke honestly that one player should cost more than a high end lap top!!!

Target market is not individuals (800, 400, 200 models) more for the ProDJ and nightclub industry. Pioneer did make the effort to survey and beta test with major touring DJ's on what they wanted in new features and capabilities and IMHO did more than expected. They are pretty thorough in their R&D.

Re: Its OFFICIAL: New CDJ-2000 & CDJ-800

i think the people that wanted to go digital already have with Traktor Scratch Pro or Serato. pioneer is pretty late to the game on this one, i just don't see these new cdjs taking the industry by storm.

Re: Its OFFICIAL: New CDJ-2000 & CDJ-800

Pioneer has a lot of money behind this in both R&D, manufacturing, initial launch, marketing and endorsements. From what I'm told they are have placed them in all the major venues in Ibiza and you will see a hugh presence at the 2010 WMC. Just like the original CDJ-1000, many were reluctant when they first came out but as more DJ's started using them they slowly became the standard and look where we are now. At least, Pioneer makes a huge effort in putting out and researching what the end users want and IMHO surpasses most of the time. I can't wait to get my hands on a pair or two.
