the regular stick was supposed to be $80, but they're going for around $150 on ebay. i don't think you're going to find one anywhere except on ebay so if you want one really bad you better get ready to pay a hefty price

I can imagine they are sold out right now all over the place other than EBAY which is an extremely inflated price. I broke my 360 controller today playing too much street fighter iv kinda sucks the B button jams on me know I am really pissed. I want the joystick pad it would be beautiful to own we all want it.

On this site you can buy custom made arcade sticks compatible with the 360 but they'll cost you around the same price as the Mad Catz SF4 fightstick. I'm planning on saving and buying the Mad Catz one on Ebay if still available by then.If not, then I'll buy one of those in the link.

ya i really want one too. does anyone know the price of the tournament stick. its the bigger model and i think the video review gs did said it was like the best one. i saw there was 2 models a slightly bigger one and then a smaller one which both really looked good? so if anyone knows it would be great.

im still checking ebay and some of these guys want 240 plus shipping. its too much to spend right now

im in the same boat as you. i would probably get the madcatz one but those also look pretty good. i so want the tournament stick from madcatz. its bigger, but looks and probably is so much better than the reg. edition of the arcade stick!

i called everywhere a few days up until launch and no one had any. Then on launch day while i was at work I walked into a game crazy and just picked one up easy as that. I was pretty happy. Too bad DOW2 for pc is taking up all my time right now!

well i dont have a collectors one but from what i hear Sanwa parts are the holy grail of arcade stic components where as my $80 one has a square stopper on the joystick that makes quarter half and full circles feel akward to the point my arcade stick is sitting in my closet already

The TE Fight Stick is made by MadCatz the only real differance is the buttons and the joystick.The TE Fight Stick has SANWA buttons and joystick where the Fight Stick has MadCatz buttons and joystick.

My brother makes those, and they're generally less than $80 total. He imports the buttons from Japan, wires it up, makes a case, top graphic art, and lays it with a nice smooth piece of fibre glass (?). When it's done, I swear he bought it (he's a perfectionist).

He's never sold one before (only uses them w/ friends and tournaments), but I could ask if he's willing to make a few in bulk and eBay them out for ~$100.

Hopefully I can convince him to make one for me...:)
