KONAMI has released 17 home versions of beatmania IIDX: 15 on the Sony PlayStation 2 game console, one on PC, and one on mobile devices. The PS2 games are stored on DVD, and can be bought with a controller that matches the arcade version very closely. The controller's key insert is detachable, so the player may attach it as preferred on the left or the right side of the turntable. 14 home versions, from [[CS 3rd style|3rd style]] through [[CS EMPRESS|16 EMPRESS+PREMIUM BEST]], were released in Japan between 2000-2009. The series' sole North American release, simply titled [[CS USA|beatmania]], loosely uses [[CS 9th style|9th style CS]] as the source of its interface and system BGM, but contains a completely different songlist.
