Sounds like it's gonna be really expensive like around $2500 ish? I don't think this will get really popular cause it's not gonna offer that much of an upgrade compared to the CDJ-1000mk3s. Plus I don't think a lot of clubs are gonna be switching the old CDJs to these anytimes soon.
The only cool thing about the CDJ-2000 is the needle search function.

ahhh nevermind. 
the link function is pretty cool i must admit, so theoretically you only need 1 usb key on 1 cdj and you can mix 2 songs at the same time from it lol
the 6" screen looks great too
prob costs an arm and a leg tho lol
edit: i was expecting more from that zabiela video tho, in the cdj1000 vid he did way more

rumour is $2500USD
I'm pretty sure clubs will have these once headline dj's start requesting them.. Also for the ease of swtiching between mediums like traktor, serato etc which is a total pain in the ass to do on the fly. We'll see if they catch on with the touring dj's, if they do I'd expect them in clubs soon.
Word from Moog is they'll be around 3k CDN..

brb creamed my pants... twice
From a DJ who only uses CD's, I like the needle search and the one touch loop (although CDJ800's have always had that).
I can definitely see the big advantage for those who use a laptop though...
...but for $2500 US? It's not that big an upgrade...
Why does that guy keep calling it "ground breaking"?...hardly ground breaking.
They took a platform that is incredibly convenient and made it slightly more convenient.
Color screen to tell me what song I'm playing? I used a $2 color sharpie to label my cd.
"tag" that song and add it to my favourites list? The back page of my $30 cd case does just fine
It's a midi controller? So is the pioneer DJM800 mixer...that also costs less than one cdj2000 cd player.
Needle search?...hold the "search" button and turn the jog wheel. it does almost the same thing.
The USB/SD is a great feature, but hardly worth the $2500+ EACH price tag.
unless I'm missing something, I don't see how this could greatly improve a djs performance.
Companies that make cd players (a platform slowly becoming archaic) need to be creating highly functional, quality players and cheap as possible...cater to the bedroom dj who'll spend $1000 on a pair of decks to mess around with, but I guess pioneer did that with the CDJ 400's.

Fack.
And just when I was thinking maybe in a few months I'll know how to work an 800....
so siiiiik.....
F&$KEN WIKKID! Needle search ftmfw!
And yep, usb's are gonna replace CD's.
Kinda wierd thinking I used to have to show up to gigs with a 50lb record bag that held 75 songs, and soon, all the music I own can be brought in a small pocket 
this means the 1000's will be cheaper

I think the real advatage of this is the "RecordBox" software.
Laidback Luke talks abouts it... pretty much you prepare hot cues, loops etc for each of your tracks before hand...
The rest of these guys are all about the 4beat loop and shit...

Angelo & Ingrosso
Roger Sanchez

hehehe...JZ was the main guy behind this just as he was for the DJM 800
Those are awesome videos! Makes me want one (2 really) even more!
Anybody else miss their vinyls as much as Eddie does?? lol 
Loop looks nice hopefully pioneer finally has got it seamless with one touch. Still no loop move though or even an 8 count auto loop. I find an 8 count loop way more useful than the 4
