Stanley56: Yeah, except JD2015 DLC was just that, DLC. They cost money and did not carry over between games despite the fact that several DLC songs from those games were shared between games. You just had to keep purchasing it for each new game if you wanted them on the new games.

With JDU, you get an almost permanent pool of ever-increasing (even if they've slowed down considerably as of late) songs. Very few songs and routines are ever removed from JDU, so once a song has been added, it'll most likely always be on JDU. It carries between games so as long as you have a JDU-compatible game (or, for the game-exclusives, a game current), you're fine.

And, most important, you don't get half a dozen songs with JDU, you get 200-ish. At some point, we need to stop being so greedy. We already have the on-disc routines and with JDU we get 200-ish extras. Do we really need more? And to such a degree a game or the series is "ruined" or "bad" if we haven't received 3 new songs in 3 months?

And at least we know they're working on JDU. The fact that "Mi Gente" and "Sax" were both finished a month ago (and likely long before that) implies they wanted to have them as the November and December JDU exclusives, but something happened to prevent them from releasing them. Maybe a rights dispute or something, which was not necessarily Ubisoft's fault.

But at least it's an indication they weren't just twiddling their thumbs. They were trying to do precisely what they've been doing for us for the past few years, but something unforeseen happened.

Personally, for me, I literally never go "I have nothing to dance to". On-disc content, previous games compatible with my current JD console (Xbox One) and JDU allow me to choose between 300+ routines. If that's not enough for you, literally nothing will ever be enough for you. You just want more routines for the sake of having more routines, like a notch on your belt.
