This is pretty slick:

Here’s some info from T3.com:

Activision’s brand new rhythm game franchise, DJ Hero, is launching this autumn alongside the fifth instalment of Guitar Hero and kiddie-safe Band Hero.

DJ Hero, as the gives away, changes tack from the traditional plastic guitars and drums, giving you a replica turntable to control your games with. Hit the pics on the right to see the first official snaps of the brand new peripheral.

As you can see, there’s a small selection of coloured buttons that are in much the same vein as the other band peripherals in Activision’s Hero line-up. While it’s nice to see it in high detail glory, we can’t help think it looks a little too simple. Of course, we don’t yet know how the gameplay is going to work or what kind of nimble finger athletics you’ll have to perform with those three buttons.

However, it has also been pointed out that Activision is carefully hiding something in there. Notice how you can’t see the bottom right of the controller in either image? Odds are it could be a crossfader. And that could mean hooking up a pair of decks and fading between them. That would clear up our complaint about the lack of buttons.

If Activision is feeling especially cunning, it might even be possible to conncect a mic for some MC action. We’re keeping our fingers crossed.

Activision has revealed that the track list will cover a range of DJ-centric genres including hip-hop, R&B, Motown, electronica and dance. More details and pics as we get ‘em.
