Although MarkMans project is a bit more ambitious, we do have some information on new sticks on our site: http://www.iplaywinner.com/stock-gallery/
It's a work in progress but we should have mod tutorials and more reviews etc at some point.
I think there is a real need for a full on arcade stick site at this point though. I know there are some out there right now, but I think the overall format on some of these sites could be done a little better to make them more accessible.

MarkMan, need new info. Lots of people will be tempted at that price for the EX.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
Busted this out this morning to play a lil' SFII:T on my OG XBOX. This is one fine-ass stick. Reminded me why I love bat tops so much.

Okay stick-age, I think the Mad Catz SFIV stick pretty much sold me on the idea of getting an arcade perfect experience at home. I've come to accept that a wired controller is also a necessity.
Having surfed though this and many other threads, I still have a couple of questions, clarifications:
1. For the best experience, I would want Sanwa stick and Sanwa buttons, right?
2. Is such a stick available today or is SFIV the first one? I haven't seen any sticks with Sanwa buttons so far. If so, where?
3. I would assume buying for Xbox 360 is a better choice, as all the fighting games go there, as are Pac-Man, Ikaruga and according to Edge even Thunder Force IV. Is this the right assumption?

There are a few sticks out there that have Sanwa stick/buttons.
The Virtua Stick High Grade (PS3), Hori Real Arcade PRO 2 SA (PS2), and the Hori Real Arcade PRO SA (PS2) are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head.
The Mad Catz SF4 premium stick will also have Sanwa stick/buttons, and while I won't/can't say what else at this time. It will have a ton of features/details that haven't been seen before in retail arcade stick offerings.
More details real soon.

Sounds awesome, like said your work on the SFIV premium is what inspired me to get an arcade stick finally. That said, you need to get on with it and ship it already, I'd buy one right now. I'm sure Capcom won't mind if you bet the game to the market by a quarter! What's your take on Arcade-in-a-box by the way?

Are there any plans for an EU release for your sexy sticks?

I think Arcade In A Box is great... not just AIAB though, lots of custom arcade stick makers I hold in high regard (finkle, TMO, Byrdo, etc.)...
BTW, if you guys haven't seen TMO's new venture yet...
http://norrisarcadesticks.com
MarkMan approved.
Lots of nice cases ready for those who want a DIY solution but don't want to make their own case.

Ah, I see. I was just curious that's all.
From the picture, it doesn't look like the stick installed is a Seimitsu stick (just ball top)...
It looks like the stock HRAP Sanwa JLF in there still lol...

Oh yea, quick survey. Remember that project I was talking about awhile ago?
What sounds better?

That would probably get the most hits from browser searches. And the name is what it would be.
BTW, when are the SFIV sticks being released in Europe? I have wanted a good stick for the longest, and told the wife it is my number 1 list item for Christmas. But which one to get.....he he

stickandmove.com would be good if some advertising douches hadn't already nabbed it. I would have been content if it was a boxing site.

Hori Real Arcade PRO 3 SA, Really?!
Remember the old Hori Real Arcade PRO 3 SA that Hori cancelled well over a year ago? Looks like it is BACK, but this time with a new look. Hori is planning on releasing this special Sanwa edition of their Real Arcade PRO line on December 18th in Japan. Available Exclusively HORISTORE for 10,000 Yen ($103.11 USD). Click below for more details on the product.

A lot of people have asked me about where they can purchase an HRAP EX.
Renchi.com now has them in stock again but now they've dramatically rasied the price (add another ~$40 for shipping too).
I'd suggest you preorder yours on Amazon to get a much better price and free shipping, tbh. You'd have to wait until December 29, but it's worth it considering the alternative.

Those should be fine. Just make sure to use snap in, because the screw in versions sometimes end up too close together and don't fit too well. You can also use 30mm Seimitsu.
You don't need any other parts either. Just some basic tools to unscrew the bottom plate, and maybe a small flat head screw driver to remove the disconnects from the buttons.

Sweet, thanks for the help guys. You know, my first Hori stick was the HRAP 2 SA with all-Sanwa parts, and I expected a similar button feel from this PS3 stick, but I can totally tell the difference between the Sanwa buttons on the SA and the Hori buttons on the standard stick. I'm tempted to just buy the PS3 HRAP SA coming next month instead of modding this one and just selling the white HRAP3, but I'm already buying the USA release 360 HRAP EX in December, and I'm jobless right now, so I gotta draw the line somewhere.
This arcade stick buying business can get addicting.

God damnit. I should've waited and ordered the stick from Renchi at the same time as _dementia ordered his.
2 weeks before the Renchi resupply happened, I ordered mine from snk-capcom, paid the stick in advance and now they're not getting the sticks before the US supply. Fucking hell, I would be playing Raiden IV with a HRAP EX by now!!!
FUCK! >_<
Or a torture if you're in the 360 camp.

I got my all-sanwa PS3/X360 Arcade-In-A-Box stick 2 weeks ago and I'm really happy with my purchase. It was quite expensive but I can't feel bad about that because the build quality is sooo top notch, and very sturdy, and the artwork finish is excellent.
Awesome product...Thanks AIAB
Sorry about the cam quality, I know it's shit
