How the hell

[iMagneto]

sucks to use a pad, anyone know where i can get some sticks?

If you're in Auckland, my friend's shop in IMAX called Livewire is getting a new stock of HORI sticks this week.

If you're elsewhere, Gamesman or whats its name might sell them.

Where is imax, up queen street?
And how much are the sticks

They dont for a credit card transaction, but they do for a bank transaction.

Ah, yeah... didn't think about a non-credit card option :/

I preordered a 360 one, so... I hope so? D:

They're getting both in for sure :3 Does the hori stick use the standard sanwa buttons?

No. Hori EXs have neither Sanwa sticks nor buttons,
the HRAP has a Sanwa stick but hori buttons.

So just to clarify.  

This week the Livewire shop located in the IMAX building will be getting Hori Xbox 360 sticks?

If so how much are they and when can I go get one?

[HoneyBadger]

My friend is checking them out this lunchtime so I'll post then if nobody else does beforehand

[zos'la]

how good are these sticks?
I goign to check them out later...
I want one for my PC when sf4 comes out. Tehy ARE PC compatable right -.-

[!DIABLO GTR!]

Livewire is located near the Sputnik bar in METRO (previously IMAX) beside the Civic centre along Queenstreet.

I'm not sure if they have any XBAWK 360 Horis in stock. But I'm pretty sure they will stock up on the fighting stick 3 and tank sized ones.

small ones cost ~ $90
tank ones will cost ~ $160

Dammit, and i JUST shelled out the $400 for a TE stick.

Since i can't afford one of these, who wants to loan me a stick until my TE one arrives?

Did you order a stick or nuclear warhead parts?

I emailed them and here are the responses:

There will be 2 brands The mad cats street fighter one will be around $399.90 RRP And the Hori Arcade sticks will be $200 ish Thanks Regard
