The games works with the standard game controller, but who wants to sit and press buttons?

Thanks to the Beat Pad, a new digital controller from Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (picture a small Twister mat), players will be able to actually dance through the game. The controller also works with other PlayStation dance games like Konami's Dance Dance Revolution.

A version of Britney's Dance Beat is also available for the GameBoy Advance, and a PC version will ship this June.
