Well if you're using Stepmania it definitely doesn't count cause for all we know you could of adjusted the Stepmania time frame to give you perfects when it should of given you goods.

On a play station however......well I'll leave that to some one else seeing as I don't own one myself and don't know how the timing compares to the arcade.

Well, the timing windows are huge on the home versions compared to the arcade, I find myself getting tens of greats at the arcade that I would not get at home. But I would still say it counts unless you're that crazy about it.

Well if the timing windows are huge on the home versions, then obviously it wouldn't count right? It'd be so much easier then. Like on Stepmania if i try kinda hard I can get and SDG. At the arcade if I try really REALLY hard I can ALMOST get a AA(ya I know my timings awful). So obviously my SDG's on Stepmania dont' count.

It all depends on you, your peers, and who you're trying to impress.

Generaly, I think most people are keeping track of their arcade Heavy AAAs, unless they state otherwise.

Obviously if you and your friends all love to play casually at home, than sure, count your console AAAs. However, if you're trying to impress a 6 yr arcade veteran, you're probably only going to want to consider arcade heavy AAAs.

That's my 2-cents.

No greats?

I just want to correct some misbeliefs. For the initial releases (max,max II, extreme) of console games, the timing window were wider than arcade. Extreme II and Supernova I are about the same as arcade. Supernova II is slightly wider. DDR X is about the same. ITG ps2 windows are exactly the same (the sync is a bit different though).

So please stop saying according to the initial games, that the windows are still wider on console. This isn't true anymore.

Well we don't have any local DDR arcade machines(we have ITG but we aren't talking about that), so I choose to count my home AAAs simply because home is the only place I can play it unless I go out of town. But honestly unless you are a huge DDR nerd then I don't see where it matters.

I would be inclined to say "no" because you can use your controller, or whatever.

Besides, if you want an apples to apples comparison, if you can AAA something at home, find a (good) arcade machine and do it. If you AAA it in the arcade as well, by all means.

I gotta tell you though, playing at home has serious advantages... endurance requirements are lower, and so on.

I count my home version AAA's, but I always say that they're at home.

At the arcade, I have 0 official AAA's (Extreme and SuperNOVA), but I have over 100 home version AAA's. So there is obviously a huge difference, and in the end, I wouldn't count home version AAA's equal to arcade.

why is there any debate over this... it is painfully obvious that timing windows are much bigger on console games than at the arcade. So no, your AAA's don't "count". So get over it and start playing at the arcade

I don't understand why there's a debate either. You can't say it doesn't "count"... it is what it is. It's a AAA you got at home. That's what it counts as.

If the original poster was really trying to ask, "Is getting a AAA at home the same as getting on in the arcade", then the answer is obviously not for all the obvious reasons.
