I know I will be at least renting it for PS2 and will be getting it for PC.
Here is an Excerpt from Gamespot:
As part of its annual editor's day, THQ showed Britney's Dance Beat for the PlayStation 2. The game will feature many of Britney's songs, including timeless classics like "Baby One More Time," "Oops! I Did It Again," and "Stronger." Players will also be able to unlock extras such as music videos, interviews, and backstage footage featuring the star herself. The previous rhythm game featuring Britney Spears--called Stepping Selection--was available only in Japan.
Britney's Dance Beat will be available on store shelves this spring.
and other one:
It should come as no surprise that the most popular kiosk at a press event recently held by THQ in Las Vegas was the one displaying Britney's Dance Beat, a rhythm game that features everyone's favorite pop star, Britney Spears. What was surprising, however, was that Britney's Dance Beat wasn't a faceless clone developed just to cash in on the hype surrounding the 20-year-old singer--Dance Beat actually looks as good as, if not better than, a lot of the current crop of similar games.
The game is currently in development at Metro, the maker of the popular Bust A Groove 2 dancing game for the PlayStation 2. In fact, Dance Beat can best be described as a cross between the Bust A Groove games and Dance Dance Revolution--with a healthy dose of Britney tossed in, of course. In fact, all of the music in the game consists of Britney's songs, including "Stronger" and "Oops! I Did it Again." The beats are timed to a small circular interface in the lower half of the screen. Much like a clock, this interface has eight equally spaced notations and a hand that completes one revolution every few seconds. The four different PlayStation 2 button icons will appear along these notations a few seconds before the hand passes over them, and as it does, you'll have to tap the corresponding button to successfully dance to the beat. The game complicates this process by switching icons at the last second or by forcing you to execute button/directional-pad combinations.

Interestingly enough, there's actually a plot of sorts to Britney's Dance Beat. You play as one of five generic dancers in the game, and you'll have to strut your stuff across numerous auditions to make the cut as one of Britney's tour dancers. As you progress through the game, you'll unlock hidden stages, more songs, backstage videos, and unique interactive concert footage that'll let you take full control of the camera and pan it in a full 360 degrees at any time. Eventually, you'll also get to play as Britney herself.

I'm looking forward to the backstage video and interactive concert footage. That's cool how you can take control of the camera, you know that took some doing to set that up! Playing As Britney will be sweet too!
The graphics are on par with similar PlayStation 2 games, although the motion-captured animations of all the dancers are quite impressive. There doesn't seem to be any jerking between different animations and dance moves, and the entire game looks like it's running at a smooth 60fps. Several special effects like sparks and pyrotechnics accent the overall look of Dance Beat nicely as well. The game is scheduled to ship sometime in April, although THQ might hold off on releasing it for a few weeks beyond that to coincide with Britney Spears' upcoming tour.
I know PC games pretty well and 60fps is pretty good. It will most likely come out in May like Swany said because they mention how it might be held off to coincide with her tour. Hey goldie, should have gotten your bf a PS2! lol. 
Can't wait for the Game to Come out!.. Update: I found some more info from Gamers.com
With a mind-boggling blend of gameplay and video, it's...Britney's Dance Beat. Which was actually pretty solid, I must admit (it's essentially Bust-A-Groove with a splash of Britney). The Two-player mode is especially cool: 10-string combos send an attack to your opponent, which moves around the patterns on their meter and forces them to adjust quickly. I also like the circular orientation of the command bar--it makes it easier to take in the commands at glance so that you might actually be able to watch what's going on on the screen.
As for Britney herself...well, in-game she looks seriously creepy, but the motion-captured dance moves look pretty authentic. There's also a mode you can unlock which basically demos the game using the Britney model, "leaving," said the THQ representative demoing the game, "your hands free to do whatever you need to do." Dance Beat comes out in Spring, but it may be delayed a bit to coincide with the start of her next tour.
Some of the info is the same but it speaks of a 'demo' mode that you can unlock which will allow you to watch Britney just dance. hehe that will be sweet!
