Gold is 50/50 with most people.
Like... Some people prefer girls. Some prefer guys.
Just sayin.

Also, for anyone ordering.
There are only 500 keychains made available for this online promo. After that, they're DONE.
I could do it for you for free. As long as you do the same for me if their should ever be anything I want from your part of town. Good trade off right? Never hurts to have good connections. lolPatrick Roy said:Wanna be my friend?

Yoshichan said:So after spending over 200 dollars on mostly shitty sticks in Japan these two past weeks because of desperation of a new stick (I cant try them out in the stores so I need to buy them and notice for myself that they suck arse), Im glad I can take my trip back home and order one of these fine Madcatz sticks.
Wait, what?
Getting so pissed.
For fucks sake, Ive pretty much searched Akihabara for 1 whole week (6 plus hours a day) without finding any of those... but I THINK I saw the first one, but it was wireless... is it supposed to be wireless?)_dementia said:Yoshi, in Japan if you see this:

or this (good luck):
buy them. They're the best Japanese sticks for PS3. Stay away from anything else.
Hori Real Arcade Pro V3-SA, Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 SA, and Sega Virtua Stick High Grade, if you want the names.
No, it's wired. You probably saw the new Hori wireless stick which is just an unbranded version of the one that came in the Tekken 6 LE.Yoshichan said:For fucks sake, Ive pretty much searched Akihabara for 1 whole week (6 plus hours a day) without finding any of those... but I THINK I saw the first one, but it was wireless... is it supposed to be wireless?)

PS2 sticks are becoming more and more scarce, so the aftermarket prices are rising.SonOfABeep said:What's a good, not $200 PS2 stick I can still buy?
Or is it easier to mod one of my 360/PS3 madcatz sticks? I also have a homemade 360 stick.

Memory is foggy (and someone will correct me), but I believe EX Buttons (or stick, can't remember) are soldered on and not using quick disconnects.

Go to Yodobashi Camera. That's where I found my hrap v3-sa. Btw, they sell out pretty quick. If it's not in stock, check back a few days later.Yoshichan said:For fucks sake, Ive pretty much searched Akihabara for 1 whole week (6 plus hours a day) without finding any of those... but I THINK I saw the first one, but it was wireless... is it supposed to be wireless?)
Kimosabae said:All right guys. How can I go about getting an Arcade Stick with the stick on the right side and the buttons on the left? I'm now fully convinced this is the only way I can use an arcade stick.
Also, the right microswitch on my 360 TE is now inconsistent in reading inputs. Anyone know if there's a way to fix this?
I got it from there. I am very dissatisfied by it. And it cost me a fortune.leehom said:Go to Yodobashi Camera. That's where I found my hrap v3-sa. Btw, they sell out pretty quick. If it's not in stock, check back a few days later.
I only paid about 12,000 yen for mine. Which is a good price imo. The only joystick I would consider costing a fortune would be the 30,000 yen VLX. If I was a collector, I would w/o hesitation purchase a couple of them.Yoshichan said:I got it from there. I am very dissatisfied by it. And it cost me a fortune.
CryptiK said:Ok.. no replies. After looking around at some sticks I decided I might just make my own. Now I went through the OP and most links to the tutorials are dead.. Now has anyone got a great tutorial on making Sticks similar to the SSFIV TE sticks? Also a great place to buy parts in Aus?
Shadow780 said:Nice, the VLX is for sale on HORIUSA now~
Have you considered a freight forwarder such asCryptiK said:Hey guys I have been getting into fighting games lately Street Fighter Tekken etc and Can't wait for Marvel vs Capcom anyway I was looking around at fight sticks and they are damn expensive(Australia) I was wondering if I could get some advice on a "good" cheap fight stick for PS3 for basically all fighting games.. Im not well off so I cant go and pay $300 (AUD) for a SSFIV TE stick so I was wondering if there was any good cheap ones.
PS I have never owned a fight stick and only used one a couple of time in the Aus Arcades but its either I get one or I stop playing fighting games as my fingers blister too easy on the controller.
yeah Im not spending $200 on a stick.moonbeam said:Have you considered a freight forwarder such as

I haven't used them myself so I can't vouch for them... I got my TE stick from JB HiFi for $AU250 before I knew about shipito.
Start with a Madcatz Xbox 360 TE stick and mod a multi-cthulhu in there and you're looking at as low as $150 (assuming you get the TE on sale)vocab said:How much would an all in one PS3/PS2/PC/360/Wii TE stick cost me? Is it even possible?
I wish my TE worked on my PC ffs.
