Street Fighter 4 - 360/PS3 - Feb 09 *$77 from cdwow*

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Meh. If its cheap(ish), does its job, and lasts me 6 months - a year (I dont see why it wouldnt) then im not too fussed. Unless you reckon it wont last that long?

Fuck. Looks like I'll have to import a pad from Play-Asia, or something. Their standard 360 stick is $100USD though, so I'm not too sure where else I should try.

Is looking like the option im gonna go for. $80 US, so $150 NZ, plus whatever postage is. Still pretty expensive.

Don't buy this, it's shit. The black HRAP (which a friend of mine, HeartNana, bought) is also pretty shitty because it uses a fake JLF and Hori buttons, soldered to the PCB.

The SFIV sticks are basically the only option, and the SFIV pad is basically the only worthwhile 360 controller. I'll probably get the pad first and the sticks later. I just finished modding a HRAP1 which I received from Japan, so I'm not in the mood to mod anything further right now.

I dont know anything about sticks, but how come it's shit? Is that stick the same as the DOA4 version?

We should probably organise an NZism bulk order of some of the madcatz sticks at some point to save some shipping costs - although not sure if the local shipping will be exhorbitant to the point it's not worthwhile...

Shoryuken is down, so I can't bring up any kinds of specifics here. I'm fairly certain that the DOA4 clone (much like the DOA4 stick itself) has buttons soldered to the PCB (ie. Namco stick), and just random parts. The only other alternative is the black HRAP, which is only available from Japan, and it uses a fake JLF and Hori buttons which are soldered.

Only other 360 controller alternative is the Hori one they put out, which I bought and I don't think much of. Better off waiting for these sticks/pads, really.

Newsflash:

For any of you guys on a tight budget (and I'm sure many of you are!), firstgames.co.nz is selling SFIV for $98 incl shipping! It's an import version, but should be exactly the same as the NZ local release. I think you'll get it on the 22nd, so two days later, but you'll save $40.

I bought rock band 2 from them, and was impressed with the service, so am very happy to recommend it to you guys.

I just preordered my Collectors Edition yesterday, I'm psyched! I'm sure fluxcore already knows this from my ranting on another NZ game site haha.

I'm not worried about the price. I still want to know what the exclusive DLC is though.

Do you know what region/version they are getting??

[fluxcore]

Yeah, not sure actually - I assume the 360 version wil be UK, not sure about PS3. Send an email to the guy, he's pretty good from my dealings.
