well, Virtual DJ is going to $285 AUD at the moment. Its ok in my opinion. Personally I prefer Native Instruments Traktor 2.5 witch goes for $85 AUD. but, i would say, download the demo's of both. play around and see what you like if its pure hobby, there is a big diff between $285 and $85. (the NI option also gives you some left over coin to buy something like an entry level MIDI controller if you really start to enjoy it)
