Looking for MadCatz 360 controller? Where they at?

Has anyone been able to find a "MadCatz Game Pad Pro" in-store or online (ships to Ontario)? Hopefully at a non-obscene price (ebay prices don't seem particularly affordable). The updated version of this controller with the 'turbo' functionality would be preferred


I would love to get a new controller with a functional d-pad and have heard nothing but good things about this controller!

It's the controller that this article is about if you're unsure what I'm talking about:

I don't think it's around anymore since MS upped their policy on third party accessories. You could always wait til around January for the SF4 Mad Catz fighter pad if that's what you want the pad for.
 
[quote name='sh10151']speaking SF, does anyone know if any Canadian retailers will be selling the official MadCatz SFIV control sticks?[/quote]

If the usual trend follows (on cool shit like the Ace Combat 6 joystick kit) retailers will have one or two and EB with have a few more.
 
The MadCatz fighter pad looks pretty good.
However I got two problems with it so far.

Firstly, waiting until mid-february is kind of a turn off
Secondly, I usually prefer standard 'cross-shaped' d-pads. I would have to wait until reviews of this controller hit in february and even then it might suck!

In the meantime I guess I'll have to continue poking around craigslist or kijiji or something!

- oh yes, before i forget - This is indeed for HD remix, though I don't think it would hurt with some classic fare (Megaman 9, bionic commando)
 
I think the Blanka one caters more to the realistic crowd of gamers; reclusive freaks. Nyuck nyuck I'll be getting that one! :D:D:D
 
I have one of these. They were all over Wal-mart. The D-pad is ok, but really the controller sucks pretty bad.
Pros:
- Turbo -- main pro for me...good for leaving the game on for some achievements lol
- feels pretty durable... a good controller for just messing around in single player games for short periods of time if you don't want to wear out your good first party controller.
- decent control pad I guess...but then again I've never had any problems with first party control pads either.
Cons:
- VERY small for your hands...and my hands aren't that big. Unless you consider your hands to be very small it will probably feel lousy
- The grips are crap...they just make the controller more uncomfortable.
- Difficult to aim with for any shooter...very high and unpredictable responsiveness for some reason.
- Overall everything just feels.....much worse than a first party controller.

Anyway, i basically just use it for leaving the 360 on and as a controller to throw around so my good one doesnt wear out. I'd recommend it for a small kid who you don't want busting up something more valuable :D
