Top DJ debunks DJ Hero tie (CVG 18/12/08)

Superstar DJ Tiesto has debunked recent stories linking the artist to Activision's not-so-secret DJ Hero game.

A recent press release, which turned out to be slightly less official than it seemed, claimed that a special Tiesto version of DJ Hero would be released alongside the music game, and both would be released in Summer 2009.

Tiesto's latest newsletter (which this time we've actually seen) says it's all rubbish...

"There has been a lot of talk concerning an alleged quote from Tiesto about being involved in Activision's possible DJ Hero video game," reads the statement. "This information was based on a fictitious news items, posted on a third party online forum.

"After the blogger posted the news item, falsely claiming that it was taken from a Tiesto newsletter, the quote was picked up on numerous websites and appeared in various articles, creating the impressions that it had come from an official source.

"Tiesto has never given a quote regarding DJ Hero," the statement concludes.

Maybe we're reading too much into this, but the statement doesn't actually deny he's involved in the game...

The Tiesto version might be rubbish but DJ Hero is very real, and hopefully will get an official announcement soon.
