“DJ Hero” is real, according to statements caught by Eurogamer made by Activision Blizzard CEO Robert Kotick while talking to news station CNBC about the state of the economy.

Kotick was asked about the future of the physical distribution, where he pointed out how successful Activision Blizzard has been with products like “Guitar Hero,” which feature a physical component. Furthering that model, he said, is a game we predicted last year, “DJ Hero.”

“We have this project called ‘DJ Hero’ that’s coming out later this year,” said Kotick, “which is a turn table that you actually can play competitively and spin discs and mix songs.”

First heard it on XPlay...the blurb's off of MTV.com...

If its anything like Guitar Hero I'll be passing on it.

No mention of scratching/turntablism makes me feel even less enthused.

I hope its cool...but I'm not holding my breath.
