There is something very seriously wrong in this video. At 0:40 you clearly see from the pad that this is a Pump it Up machine, with the four diagonal and one center arrow. But when the game screen is shown, it shows Dance Dance Revolution, with the four cardinal direction arrows. So is he playing PIU, or DDR? Which is it???
