Wow, great deal. Build of the stick makes it worth it at $150.

People who're reluctant to take the offer since they don't play fighting games should consider one for arcade/shmups as well. I don't do much fighting games myself, but this has made some XBLA titles a real treat to play.

Just the SE stick is a decent entry point to try out arcade controls, and it has an easy upgrade path if you get more serious in the future. I think it's a much better option than a Hori EX2.

Even though I know the arguement is about price, just want to say that the TE is just as modable, but of course ups the cost. Outside of price, its more dependant on how big/heavy you want the base stick to be/where you can play/etc.

I keep reminding myself that I need to get a correct screwdriver/hexkey for my TE so I can switch to the bat top and button colors I ordered awhile ago.

Hmm... I got my Amazon 50% coupon yesterday and was about to pull the trigger when this showed up. I'm not sure if I want to just pre-order Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition for practically free (150 - 75 - 15 - 10, plus the gift card) and buy the TE stick for $125... or buy my stick today for about 10 bucks + have it by Friday... hmm...

I guess I'll be buying my TE stick on Amazon... and tomorrow, they'll probably price match... damn it...

If you're thinking about modding a SE, just get the TE, because it will save you a lot of time and effort.

My bro modded his SE with Sanwa parts and it was a PITA. The buttons didn't fit perfectly so he had to sand the button holes to get them to fit right. Even after he did that there was some minor warping on the art when the buttons finally snapped it. Also, the quick disconnects were a pain in the ass to remove. He actually broke one of the them while trying to get it off the stock buttons.

I am just going to buy a stick from arcade in a box (sometime in the distant future) so that I can use it on my 360, PS3 (and play PS2 games). Those sticks are confirmed (by ign.com) to be Backwards compatible with PS2 games running on a 60 gig PS3.

Is there a way to get the PS3 version to work with the 360 for at least the arcade games?

Buy just sent me an e-mail telling me they have shipped my stick. Maybe it wont take 7-9 days to get to me.

Need another PCB and some soldering skills from what I've read on dual modding.

Xbox stick to work on ps3 is easy but ps3 to work on xbox is kind of a pain.

Pretty good deal considering these went for $400-500 on ebay not too long ago...but I decided to go with a Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 SA stick, that I ordered from Japan. Hori sticks compared to a Madcatz design, no question. Yes the TE has Sanwa parts and is pretty solid and built well - but if you want authentic arcade fight stick - go with a Hori, you won't regret it!

can you really do that? how??

Yeah, how?!? 'Cause if you can, I'd get one-I just want to be able to hit all three platforms, not two out of three :-/

Back to original price :(.

Got mine today! This was a great deal, and I'm finally going to keep this one. I got a few already, but had to ebay them. So glad that I can finally keep this one, now that the market is saturated.

Got mine today too. Wow, what a solid stick.

Too bad I can't use it till I get my Cthulhu =(

i dont know if anyone knows but whats the difference between the sf4 te stick and the hori real arcade pro 3-sa edition for the ps3 that is coming out in october? its about a 30 dollar difference and ive done some research and they all use roughly the same parts... so is one better than another?

No, they are both equally great. They have the same parts and you will be happy with the one you choose.

I have both sticks...actually the PS2 version of that HRAP (same damn thing).
