Dance Dance Revolution has been more popular on Playstation 2 than X-Box since most PS2 games have a more arcade feel. However X-Box versions (each of them called Ultramix) have unique features that make them stand out. Each Ultramix version have downloadable song packs for the X-Box. You can even use the downloaded song packs from Ultramix 1 into the newer games like Ultramix 3. Ultramix 4 (coming this November) will feature "party mix" nonstop courses simular to the nonstop megamix courses found in Dance Dance Revolution Solo 2000 (a japanese ddr arcade that features 6 panels instead of 4). Officially, there are only the four DDR Ultramix versions for X-Box. All other dance games are more commonly found on personal computer or Playstation 2.

Other dance games available
In The Groove (Playstation 2) The hit game that brought dance gaming to a whole new level. Over 80 songs of unique dance music not found in DDR games.
Dance Factory (Playstation 2) A unique dance game that uses your own CD music to dance to. (not very good to work though, Stepmania for PC does so much better.)
MC Groove Craze (Gamecube) A little known attempt by Mad Catz to bring dance gaming to Gamecube.
Happy Feet (Playstation 2 and Gamecube) a full dance game based on the upcoming movie from Warner Bros.
Stepmania (personal computer) A FREE dance game played to DDR style allowing you to download and install an unlimited number of songs to play on your computer. You can even create songcharts for your own .mp3 or .ogg files!
...and...
If you have a personal computer I strongly suggest you invest in In The Groove for Personal Computer. ITG for PC is truly the most powerful dance game I have ever seen. ITG for PC contains all of the songs for ITG arcade, some songs from ITG 2, and exclusive songs that were planned for the ITG 3 arcade. That is not all. The publisher also has a bit torrent download for their first song pack already released which installs all remaining ITG 2 arcade songs and courses into that game for FREE! In the end 163 official songs in that game alone. Not to mention more modifiers to make the game more challenging, an edit mode that you can make your own stepcharts and import them into the arcade version of In The Groove 2. Marathon and Survival courses which have modifiers that activate in mid gameplay as you play. It gets better, you can upload any Stepmania song folder into the ITG PC making it the only dance game you ever need. It is truly the best dance game of all time.

Your choice ps2 or xbox

I like the PS2 versions better but the Xbox versions are alright.
Also, you could play Stepmania http://www.stepmania.com/ on your computer using a dance pad, buy an adapter for your computer (like this one http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=163&products_id=2701 ) to connect an Xbox Dance pad.
You can play Stepmania for free using your keyboard, using the dance pad or a controller is optional.
