What do you mean?

He probably means a fightstick that works on a PS3 and 360. First time I've heard of one, but it's what I'm deducing from his post.

VirtualCosmic

No I haven't, but it looks terrible. Especially the layout of the buttons to the stick and it most likely uses knockoff buttons and stick. The general rule of thumb is that any fightstick that costs less than $50 new isn't worth buying.

WTF-AKUMA-HAX

Heh, probably not a good idea to take design ques from an XBOX 1 console.

Please go in thinking with the mantra "you get what you pay for"

Here's a link down to tech talk's big thread, buyer's guide:

That has got to be the ugliest and most non-ergonomic design I've seen for an arcade stick in a long time.

Bakuhakubasugasu

Better off buying a WWE brawl stick for like $40-50 bones and modding it out. That thing looks horrendous.

I like how it's called

NEW ARCADE FIGHTING STICK USB for XBOX 360 Consoles

GordonsBeard

Hooooly shit this stick wins all sticks of every year of all years.
This is probably better suited to the Tech forum.

I like everything about your post, including how you called it an ARCADE STICK!

Kratos

just buy a ps2 controller with a usb converter best pad for playing fighters imo

Getting into the fighting genre in this gen(especially on a 360 is expensive) no way people can buy those expensive sticks then buy the games,the ps3 players have more options when it comes to sticks but us 360 owners are stuck with crappy pads or buying expensive fightsticks.I hope microsoft really looks into making there controllers more fighting games freindly on there next console.

VirtualCosmic

Agreed, the Xbox 360 controllers do suck for fighting games. The ps3 dual shock 3 controllers are way better out of the box for fighting game players who use pad. On the stick front there is just about as many options for Xbox 360 players as there is for ps3 players with Matcatz,Hori and Eightarc/Qanba offering just about the same number of fightsticks for either console. On the price point issue it is possible to buy used good quality Madcatz TE sticks for the 360 for 70-90 dollars now. Some Madcatz SE/Brawl sticks for the 360 with all the parts changed out to sanwa parts on the used market can be had for less than that if you wait and look for a deal.

PS3 players are playing on the exact same expensive arcade sticks as XBox 360 players.

If you go to places like amazon they number of ps3 budget fightsticks are far greater the xbox,

The only budget fightstick on amazon for the 360 is that brawlstick on there which 41 bucks by third party seller.,you then have to buy more parts to make it playable.

Trouble Brewing

While sure, the brawlstick needs modding to bring in up to arcade standard, it's much better out of the box than any of those other sticks you linked (none of which are fightsticks, btw). Not only are they all basically garbage, but if you want to mod them to arcade standard they require significantly more work than a brawlstick.

Out of all of these, only two are really worth anything because they're easily modable (Mayflash and Playtech), the rest are flat out trash unless you want to spend time and money modifying them. You want a stick, pony up the $100+ for a real stick with decent parts or get a budget MadCatz that you can easily upgrade with nothing but a Phillips in less than an hour.

DONT BUY CHEAP STICKS


(unless its a budget TE or HORI being clucked)

Terry Bogarde

my advice to you is do not buy a cheap stick because its cheap and looks good. I made that mistake when i was new and went through hell. There is that white hori stick with Sanwa parts that is fairly priced, i forgot the name. I agree a cross platform will be the best choice though

Papinguim

I just got a WWE Brawlstick. It's like the SE SFIV Stick and you can easily swap out the art and parts. It's the same price as that stick you put there, except WAY better.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_9?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=wwe+brawl+stick&sprefix=wwe+brawl%2Caps%2C0

If you need a PS3 stick, it's $30. For 360, it's $40.

ugo_2u

I believe thats the best price you can get bro and its made by madcatz

Oresplendent1

One point I'd like to make is if you're short on cash try looking for used joysticks on craigslist. Of course this strategy works better if you're near a major metropolitan area. I managed to score a Madcatz TE for 80 and an SE for 25. TE's you don't have to mod but an SE is easy to mod and you should. The rub is don't spend the money you wanted to save on parts, because once again don't buy cheap parts. There's a reason why most online retailers readily sell Sanwa and Seimitsu parts. Very good parts and not terribly expensive.

Necrotrophic

if you dont have a lot of money, try building your own stick

Sleazoid

I love how it says "For Xbox 360" on the stick itself. This is quite possibly the most hilariously awful looking stick I've ever seen.

I would second the recommendation that you get yourself a WWE Brawl stick. You might have zero interest in pro-wrestling (the art can be changed to something more of your liking), but it is far and away the pinnacle of budget sticks.

Papinguim

"Must have for Streeter Fighter" Ha!

That usually ends up costing more in the end.

Get some Sanwa/Seimitsu parts for this.
