I have the Hori Fighting Stick EX2 for 360 and I love it. Always able to perform any move with no problem. And it's easy to get working on the PC so it's great for MAME too. But after a year, it's begun giving me problems. The controller does not work period unless the wire is bent a certain way. (had to tape the wire to the bottom of the stick to get it to say bent to the necessary position) And the A button randomly becomes unresponsive. It's a shame this is happening right before SF4 comes out cause I'm not sure how to fix it and I won't have the money for a new stick till tax returns. Here's to hoping I can win Round 3 (or at least Round 2) of GameStop's SF4 tourney. I had been wondering if the MadCatz sticks were square or cirlce gate. I could never adjust to stick because I had inconstancy with any command involving a diagonal. But then when I found out that sticks are also made with a square-gate instead of circle, I happily gave that a try and have found it to be so much more precise than using a d-pad. However, I am very very very disappointed that MadCatz didn't at least try to make a stick that could work on BOTH PS3 and 360. I would pay $200 even $250 for their TE stick if it did. I wanna get the TE stick, but I am planning on buying a PS3 with tax returns. But I don't wanna be playing on a half-broken 360 stick till then. Either way, they should've made it work on both systems cause that's something would have been really really appreciated in tourney play. Hopefully someone figures out a simple and painless way to mod it to do so. dbd333, you're an idiot. Between your oh so creative name and truly insightful remarks and clear knowledge of the content you talk about, you're way less respect-worthy than said annoying Halo players and what you think of "hardcore fighting game nerds". You're just mad cause you're living in your mom's basement waiting for your birthday and christmas to get your next game or accessory while we have the money to buy our $100+ stuff whenever.

This isn't hardware comparison. It's software comparison. Yes, the 360 version of Fallout 3 looks better. But that's only cause they didn't work as hard to take advantage of the PS3's massive extra power. The PS3 has more potential. There's no doubt about it. We just haven't seen game companies reach that point yet.
