are here any dance dance revolution that plugs in to the tv and is a good quality?

Are there any kinds of dance dance revolutions that you can get to plug in to the tv?
I really want to get one for someone in my family but we do not have any kind of play stations or x boxes or game cubes and I do not want to have to buy one just for that. are there any that just plug into the tv or computer?
I found only really bad quality ones.

For what you're asking for, no, there are no stand-alone versions of the game that are worth getting. Your best option is going to be investing in a console and getting the game to go with that console.

For what it's worth, I wouldnt recommend getting DDR. I got started with DDR on the PlayStation 2 back in 07 and had a blast with it. For today, it's old technology and there are better options out there.

What I'd recommend if you'd like for your family to get into dancing with a game system is to get a PS3 (used), an Eye Camera, a couple of Move Controllers and one of the "Just Dance" games. While DDR only cares about where your feet go, the Just Dance game series uses the camera to watch your arms, body and feet to make sure you're dancing correctly, not just "tap dancing." All together this would cost you maybe $200 to get up and going.

I know it's not what you're asking for but the option of what you'd like to have doesn't exist at the price or quality that you'd like. Personally, I'd love to have a DDR Extreme arcade cabinet in our house but they start at about $8,000 and go up from there.

@Reboot yea thats the problem the good quality ones all require gaming systems. I just dont like all the additional things that come along with these gaming systems, the system, the mat, the game,the controllers. im glad new better stuff comes out for thoes games but im willing to spend 100 dollars(us dollars) on a good quality one that plugs into the tv. I guess there is no market for that, people all seem to have gaming systems. our world is just getting way too much technology, I already have a phone a computer and a tv, they keep inventing new stuff that everyone has to have like automatic vacuum cleaners that drive around your house vacuuming.

@Girlyfriendcollecting That's one reason why I do recommend the Just Dance option. While it does require a few more bits to be able to make it work, they're small and easily stored. I cant count how many soft DDR mats were damaged because they were tossed behind the couch or had something hard/sharp set on top of them. With the PS Move system, that's not an issue.
