thanks for the heads up casey.

i had a link to eb here but they charge tax and 10$ shipping, so it would be 120$ shipped

gamestop only charges 3$ shipping and no tax, so buy from them ^^

gamestop dropped the price as well and I think you can get it shipped cheaper from them

I think that experiment has already been tried and confirmed with the fishing controller.

Other than the design and the fact that it doesn't have a reel handle on the side, is this controller any different from the fishing controller? It only records the swinging motion, right? So you could get the same experience using a fishing controller while playing.

i believe the fishing controllers 'swing' only activates 1 button, i believe the katanas 'swing' can activate 2 buttons depending on which way you swing it.

I was kind of joking. I don't have a PS2, so I couldn't try this. I do have the Dreamcast fishing controller, and you're right; that only seemed to activate one button. I did try using it to play Soul Calibur, and it actually worked a little.

It only activates one buttone, square. I had one but returned it defective because it kept dropping the signal. Nice coincidence, I can pretty much get a free game with the difference in price now.

Game Crazy has these for $99.99 as well. Not sure how many Game Crazys actually have these left though.
