Title: Which is better out of these two???
Post by: MistaTCR on October 16, 2009, 11:24:59 AM

Hey guys, I've decided to purchase either one of these:

I've never had a real arcade stick, it would be my first.
Out of those two, what's the difference??

http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Real-Arcade-Fighting-Stick-3/dp/B001GDQRZM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1255644873&sr=8-5

http://www.amazon.com/Real-Arcade-Pro-3-SA-Playstation-3/dp/B002FL0T8U/ref=pd_sim_vg_4

I like the silver solely based that it looks nicer.

Any suggestions on other sticks?? Thanks in advance!

The second one is an HRAP3-SA (SA means Sanwa) ... which is pretty much the pinnacle of Arcade parts. SA in a heartbeat!

^ What he says is true. You'd only end up swapping the hori stock parts for either Sanwa or Seimitsu. Later on you may want to try Seimitsu buttons cause they offer more feedback. Also, if we ship two of these things, do we save on shipping? Cause I want one too ><

Hrm, depending on shipping costs, might be cheaper to buy the hrap3 from firstgames http://www.firstgames.co.nz/shop/playstation3/playstation3real-arcade-pro3fi for $240.

I agree! I want one, but the missus won't let me buy any more sticks :(

Also... the last I checked, Amazon doesn't ship sticks internationally... has this changed ?

Hehe, I like the second one too! Didn't know that SA meant that, thanks for the info.

Smoof, if you really want one let me know cause a relative is gonna ship it over for me.

Hey Mista TCR could you hook me up too? Looking at this if I calculated correctly should cost $161.16 approx are there any other costs to consider? If this is about right then I'm pretty sure I could convince my wife : ) Been on the pad too long myself and need to evolve my game.
