Default DDR style workout from a game of Halo?

Looks like another company has decided to cash in on the Dance Dance Revolution craze with a "fitness controller" for PS2/Xbox/etc. It's basically a giant joystick that you push against resistance to move in the game. It's not tied to any game in particular.

This looks incredibly stupid, and costs a mere $700-1200. But, hey, who knows... I'd rather play GTA3 or Halo than do HIIT.

The problem with this type of solution is that the game itself is not as fun using this device.

The game now becomes work! -- Not good!

The brilliance of DDR is that the WORK *IS* the game! Thus making the work fun.
