What's a better stick, this one or the Hori Real Arcade Pro?

It's all a matter of opinion I have the Mad Catz TE 1 and love it and a buddy of mine has the HORI RAP which he loves. I have used both and honestly feel you can't go wrong with either one.

Updated OP. Next deal: Alpha Protocol - $36.99

Bleh, $30 would have been good.

aren't they basically the same thing? same parts?

Ugh. Hasn't AP been $39.99 standard at GS for a while now?

Anything $30 or below, I'd have bitten... this, not so much. Not surprised at the price, but this is the one I had the most hope for out of this sale in terms of an actual deal.

I prefer that one to the new Super Street Fighter IV TE stick, especially since it has a nice binding on the edges, which makes it a bit more comfortable and slick. I tried both sticks, and while they have the same components (more or less), the one featured on Amazon's Goldbox feels a lot slicker and higher quality than the new one. Still, you can't go wrong with any of them since they are pretty high quality sticks, and considering the high price of getting a custom arcade stick, you get the highest value for your dollar at $95.00 (and you can always mod it to your liking).

Gold Box deals have to be pretty decent for me to bite, since I pay almost 10% in tax.

I was thinking it was going to be $19.99 or maybe $25 but at $37 not so much.

Alpha Protocol will be $19 here shortly.

seriously. Do you know anything about games. I am surprised you probably expect Transformers WFC for $9.99, and any other new releases for $19.99. hey, why dont you sell me your games for $4.99 each. I prefer new Xbox 360 games and new PS3 games. Come on I know this is cheap ass gamer but you demand broke ass gamer

just finished metro 2033 the other day. i really dug the game but it may not be for everyone. if your on the fence buy it.

it can easily be 1k'd in a day or two. but there is some dlc coming out for it soon with another 250 points which may make it have a bit more replayability.

Dude, just settle down. I think you're just mad because Gold Box isn't having a sale on question marks.

All that hyperbole is quite unnecessary. Try to have a modicum of sense and realize the comment was justified -- Alpha Protocol isn't exactly a "killer-app" or anything so expecting an ok-ish game to drop down in price doesn't in turn mean someone doesn't know anything about games.

Anyway, I'm kind of surprised with the turnout (save for Prince of Persia; that game has been dropping like a rock since release). I was kind of hoping for Alan Wake since that's really the only game there that I don't have.

Decent price for transformers. Going to wait for it to hit 20 or 30 though.

Is there a Rich Ass Gamer site? One that can tell you what the best deals are for the $30 games that third party sellers are selling on Amazon or Half.com for $75?

Can't justify biting on Alpha Protocol for $35. I would have bitten for $20. But I'll grab it at some point, maybe two months from now it will be at my price level. This game tanked so hard it's a lock to be heavily discounted shortly.

Next: Splinter Cell Conviction - $36.99

Come on Dark Void. *crosses fingers*
