You'll need a promo code from the daily exclusive email, but it says In-store and Online.

I was hoping for a Fighting Edge for PS4 before I bit on a new stick this gen, but that's really tempting...
How does one get this promo code? I've never had a reason to look into it before.

You have to register for their daily email deals in person.
You'll get the email and code every day. 99% of the "deals" aren't worth the time and effort, but every once in a while, they put some great stuff up there. There's also fairly frequent discounts on PS+/XBLG time cards and credit.
Picked this up. Great deal and love that it has a touch pad!
Sign up for their weekly ads here if you're interested
Anyone mod one of these for art? How are the stock buttons?
Now to learn how to use a stick again...I was all about the fightpad last gen

Microsoft announced today, during the Killer Instinct Season 3 reveal, that all sticks will work on Windows 10 when KI launches (in March...maybe?...that's when season 3 starts at least.)
I'm waiting on my art to arrive, but it seems simple enough. Unscrew the base, unscrew the baseplate, peel off the plastic art to reveal the screw holes, put your new art on and screw on the plexi from the top.
Button plungers are wider relative their cup than Sanwa, and to me it feels like it has less throw distance, though I could be completely wrong about that. Feels different, but still a completely functional set of buttons. They only seem to come in black, however, so if you want different colors you pretty much have to switch.
Great deal. You can call and they'll give you a working promo code if you just signed up today.

I can't imagine every using an analog stick, but maybe some people do?
D-pad only in my case.

Welp, considering I'm on the opposite side of the country from the nearest store, that doesn't look like it's happening.
You can order online w/ free shipping. You can also register for the email promos online. The code they email you immediately won't work the first day, but just call and they'll give you one that does.

Thanks, definitely in for some white bezels and a white side panel. I am tempted on black but the smoke panels I have already look black so maybe.
Actually, you can sign up by email and you get a code right away. You have to call in your order though for online orders in order to use that code and "activate" it. I know because I got up to that point but talked myself out of ordering this. It's a really good deal and I am so tempted but dammit I already have a vlx. I think I have an addiction ugh.
Out of curiosity, do you find it hard to do quarter circle motions and such with the D-pad?

No, but half circles can sometimes not feel right

I'm quite busy at work and don't think I can spare the time to call in. Don't suppose I could use your code?

Welp I know where Im going right now.

Great deal, was $120 at frys with that coupon a few weeks ago as well. Super tempted...
I use to play SF on earlier consoles way back to the SNES era. There was no analog stick back then, only dpad. I feel like there's more effort to get moves to come out on the stick too, so that's why I always use Dpad

Got mine.
Can't wait to get her home and break her in (after work of course).

UGH! Why wasn't this a few days ago? I just bought from Hori directly and have it shipping to me.
Oh well, it's only a $40-50 difference, but still. >:|
Yep, same boat. Thought about getting this one and returning the other, but after jumping through the hoops to get the code and eating the return shipping fees, ehhhhhhhh...
Here is a custom iL Competition build I finished up.

Is this NA?
Available for shipping only online when I add to cart.
Fry's often runs out of online stock really fast on good deals.
Darn, and I just bought a Mad Catz TE 2
It's supposed to be pretty good. And for that price it's a steal.

OK that's what I needed! Picking it up!
Also it's easy to switch out right? I have a set of sanwa stick plus seimitsu buttons. It's all quick connects, no soldering right?
Switching out is supposed to be pretty easy. And yeah, no soldering is needed. just remove the wires from the built in buttons, unplug them, then connect the wires to the new buttons and plug them in.
Thank you!

I snagged one for in-store pick-up since online is sold out :[
Need a stick for PS4 and who knows when a viable solution to use my old 360 Fight Stick and my PS1/PS2 Stick will come around.
I have a feeling I will need to swap the stick and buttons though.

As of 3:30 there is one new hori rap 4 at the frys in Burbank. When I went up to the cashier, the price changed back to $150. He asked the supervisor and they let me buy it this one time for $99. The deal is dead now I guess?
Okay cool, thanks!
Yeah I tried the demo of SF3 on PS3 and used the analog stick. Safe to say that I had no idea what I was doing.

D pad all the way for me. Analog stick doesn't feel right but I seen people feel fine about it.
Cool. That's what the consensus seems to have been favoring.

If you play a grappler is it possible to use both? I imagine it would be easier to pull off standing 720s that way.
Can you be more specific?
