KONAMI has also released home versions of the game, with 15 releases for the PlayStation 2 console and one Windows port. Fourteen versions of the PS2 game are available in Japan, while one is available in the US. The game is stored in a DVD media, 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. The home versions do not exactly match the arcade versions, but are very similar.  To date, home versions of [[CS 3rd style|3rd style]] through [[CS EMPRESS|EMPRESS]] have been released in Japan; the US release is titled simply [[CS USA|beatmania]] and does not correspond to an arcade version at all.
