milkage

This might seem like a small thing to some, but if you think about it milkage always starts off small.

First you pay $10 extra for a joystick. Oh Wait!!!!!

Then you pay extra for a usb charger for your wireless controller. Oh Wait!!!!

Then you pay extra for an annual subscription of non-dedicated server online. Oh Wait!!!!!!

Then you pay extra for a wireless adapter. Oh Wait!!!!!!

and so on............

Ya know being a 360 only owner sucks sometime.:(

P.S. The guy says in the vid that these madcatz joysticks are better than hori joysticks. Hmmmmmm.......

Um if you're talking about controllers then all you need to do is mention the Dual Shock 3. Regardless of which the additional liscence fee is why the controller costs $10 more. But hell I went and got the Tournament Edition which was $150 for either platform anyways.

Yeah, except we can't switch names for Cows and Lemmings... would be too confusing. I never use those terms, anyway.

It's more on the 360 because of Licensing issues...

Same i ordered my tournament edition as well, i was going to buy 2 of them but im kinda low on cash :P and i also held on (and used it of course) and i felt no difference between it and any joystick i have already.

You can't possibly be comparing something as niche as a fighting stick to XBL can you? :?

I thought it was cool...LOL. Anyways, the PS3 is better value. Everything on the X360 has to be licenced by MS, try using ordinary USB devices...good luck!!!

Might be because the 360 Fight stick works with both 360 and PC while the PS3 one only works on PS3.

Probably because its worth it, vs a useless controller for 60 or 70 bucks i dont know why people would buy this thing it certainly isnt going to make you a better player

first post wins. that's really all it comes down to. it was one of MS' ways of controlling the peripheral market. less junk hardware on the 360. it's a trade-off.

Where does it say that? My Arcade pro 3 works for my PS3 and PC so I don't see why the PS3 version of this doesn't work for the PC.

Thats what people were saying when I looked around for reviews, it was all "eww knock off parts, you'll break it easily" and stuff for comments. But they were also saying its hard to do certain motions and buttons arent so great but so far its been working fine.

Basically I always wanted an arcade stick since i play quite a few fighting games, but I was always turned off it since as I was learning I sucked with them, so I'd end up losing even against friends who sucked, but with more online in fighters recently, I decided to go for it. So I don't know much in terms of quality, I heard Hori was decent in the past and got the FS3 for $50..

It's awesome, don't change it! I almost blew the coffee I was drinking out of my nose when I saw that "thing" :lol:

Oh and to the topic: Who needs those joysticks anyway? I can play with a regular thumb pad just fine.

You seriously need to remove that sig cause I can't read your post, it's just so distracting.
