If you have the urge to spend even more than $120 for DJ Hero, we’ve got great news. When the game launches, you’ll have the option of picking up the “Renegade Edition” of the game, which includes a special turntable, a hardshell case that converts into a stand and a two-disc CD set of Jay-Z and Eminem music that features some previously unreleased tracks. Not that this comes as a complete surprise.

Now, we could take or leave the CDs (Music that you don’t pretend to play? What, is it for babies?) but the case/stand actually sounds pretty slick. Here’s hoping the price (which we have no clue on, naturally) is right.

Young Jeezy told MTV News he’s spoken to Vick and is happy to see the former Atlanta Falcon playing again.

“That’s my dude,” ATL native Jeezy told us on his tour bus during the Young Money Presents: America’s Most Wanted Music Festival launch in Scranton, Pennsylvania. “I just talked to Michael Vick. Welcome back. I’mma just be real. I’m not saying this to be funny. I know ‘em all, from Pacman Jones to Michael Vick. Sometimes keeping it real becomes keeping it dumb. It’s hard enough in that position that they in. You can’t keep a good dude down. He bounced back. We gonna wish him the best and tell him to stay out the strip club unless you’re rolling with me.”

Jeezy thinks that keeping Vick out until week six, almost halfway through the NFL regular season, is too harsh of a penalty.

“But you know what, I got dogs, so I feel the pet owners,” Continue reading this post…
