Much like the Rock Band games, Harmonix will allow you to bring the first Dance Central‘s songs into Dance Central 2, provided you’re willing to part with a small licensing fee.
Microsoft’s Twitter account revealed a price earlier today: 400 Microsoft Points ($5) will be the cost to play the previous game’s songs in DC2. Of course, you’ll need a copy of the first game in order to import the songs in the first place, as well as 200-250MB of free space on your 360’s hard drive and an Internet-connected system (Xbox Live Gold isn’t necessary). You’ll need more than just a DC disc — you’ll be asked to input a code from the back of the manual, meaning you can’t pass around a copy of DC with friends or rent it to get the songs in DC2 on the cheap.
A pre-order deal will save you from having to pay at all. A free 400 points awaits those who pre-order DC2 at select retailers.
