DJ Hero is an RSI villain

A few hours with DJ Hero last night shows that it's one of the most innovative music-and-rhythm games to come along in a while. On the other hand -- actually, my right hand -- all of that button pressing while jogging a turntable back and forth to nifty remixes is wearing. The back of my right hand still hurts from my jam session. I was standing, though, so I'm going to try playing it sitting down or raising the turntable stand to see if a better angle on my hand changes anything. Still, even though DJ Hero might not be as big as Guitar Hero or Rock Band -- my wife and daughter weren't impressed -- I have a feeling we're going to start hearing plenty of stories about repetitive stress injury (RSI) from playing it.
