Pioneer XDJ 1000

Pioneer has once again shocked the DJ world by saying we don't need CD's anymore. Soon to hit the U.S. dj stores in January, Pioneer releases the 1st CDJ or should I say XDJ with no CD slot.. This controller will be used exclusively with Pioneers Rekordbox s/w and future updates are in the works for HID mode for Serato DJ and Traktor... Will this be the next big thing? Will the dj world embrace a CDJ with no CD slot for back up? Will the new touchscreen be a must have for all the dj gear junkies out there? We will soon find out the answers to these questions and many more...
