However, expect yours to have a CD-ROM, warranty / quickstart instructions and so on. We had a review sample to prepare this piece, so it wasn't boxed in the finished packaging, and didn't have anything in the box except a mains adaptor (better quality build than most, and with Pioneer's name on it rather than a generic example), a USB cable and the unit itself.

However, this review will nonetheless focus more on the Pioneer hardware than the Serato DJ software we've got a full Serato DJ software review which you can read alongside this review. This is because the other DJ controllers that will in time work with the software haven't yet been added to it. That's even more the case with this one, as it is currently the only controller that works with Serato DJ.
It is to an extent impossible to review any DJ controller without talking about the software it runs / comes with. So you've got the build quality of the Numark NS6, the performance controls of the revolutionary Novation Twitch and later the Vestax VCI-380, the proper four-channel standalone mixer and hardware filters of the Vestax VCI-400, and a full-strength, highly capable "in the box" software solution fully tuned to make the most of the controller's features (as with the Traktor Kontrol S4). It's as if Pioneer's designers sat down with Serato and said: "Let's take the best bits of every DJ controller out there, and incorporate them into one controller, without compromise." Better, they seem to have done for a price which, while high, is not extortionately so. The good news is that it is pretty much an awesome success.
Both this controller and the software are launched today, and so the controller is plainly a big deal for both companies. (Update: Also take a look at the Pioneer DDJ-SZ). The Pioneer DDJ-SX is the first DJ controller designed for Serato DJ, the new DJ software from, yup, Serato.
