Looks like a win to me, then. Thanks, TC!

I've made quite a few orders with them and have never had any problems... the new stuff comes sealed and shipped securely and the used stuff was always in good condition.
You usually have to play the waiting game but sometimes they have some great deals on used consoles (always check the listings though, as some may not include the cables, while others will come with all sorts of accessories and games)

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Went ahead and ordered one.
Neuro, I find it's hard to do much better than the SFIV TE's, but I picked up the LE of Tekken 6 on a whim the other day to try out the wireless stick, and was pleasantly surprised. It's super light (which can be good or bad, depending on playstyle.) but it's working well for my fightnights.

Hey neuropunk, I posted in this thread a deal for 20% off both the 360 and PS3 TE round 2 fightsticks

By the way OP, you should probably mention in the title that the stick is new, I would also post the shipping charge there as well

[quote name='scarhawk']Neuro, just mod it. Don't pay $150 for an equivalent stick when you can pay about $40. As for this deal, I'd jump if it wasn't a Hori stick. Don't get me wrong though, I have a Hori stick and it's pretty good but I don't want another one.[/QUOTE]
If this is the TvC stick it's definitely a Madcatz stick, not a Hori.

Argh, wanted to get 2 & mod them, but shipping kills it for me. Two 
ing cents off from being able to use the $5of$50 coupon
. 
They don't seem to combine shipping for multiple items, and the cheapest filler item I could find was actually more than DOUBLE its cost to ship that alone.
Good deal if you're getting just one, but now I wish I had picked them up when Madcatz was doing a B1G1 sale.
*Edit*They are indeed Madcatz sticks, not the other Hori stick that's available for Wii.

Equivalent stick for $40? How?
Sanwa joystick, balltop, and 6 buttons is about $50 from LizardLick. Then you need a cabinet + pcb which is ~$30 cheapest.
Factor in the extra labor and the inferior form factor and I'd rather have a TE that goes on sale for $100.

Been thinking of using my $120 Amazon credit and buying one of those, and then trading back the game for $10, making it only $50 credit.
You recommend the LE Tekken 6 with fightstick then?

I'm definitely a fan, and you can't really beat it for the price and accessibility. I won't place the quality over a custom build or some of the TEs, but it's working great for me with BlazBlue, MvC2, and SSF4.

It's one of the lowest tier sticks but it really depends how serious you are. Obviously it isn't fair to compare it to a stick twice as expensive. I'd rather save my money for a better product, but that's just me. The Tekken 6 art book is fairly good for a collector's edition so that's a plus if you are into that.
Lastly, you should double check if the LE game can be traded back. It might have a different UPC than the normal versions.

Oh, I didn't think of that. Thank you. Just figured it was the normal game in a LE box.
Oh and I have a TE fightstick for PS3, but I really don't want to spend another $150 on a stick. Wonder how much it would cost to mod it to work also with a 360. Would the best way to do that is with a Cthulhu board?

It's a great stick for the price & the best stick for the Wii. BTW, you can also get these on eBay auctions (if that site gets sold out) for $25 - $35 shipped (brand new). IMO, these are easily worth $50 - $60 but that's just me. They were $80 when they were 1st released in Jan. 2010. They're a Sanwa spring (

Nope. You want a Cthulhu to mod a 360 stick for working with PS3. =|
Best way to mod a PS3 stick with 360 support is to grab an Imp board (available at any retailer with Cthulhus in stock), then grab a 360 PCB of your choosing (I -highly- recommend the Fightpads for this. They're much nicer to mod than any other pad out there) and have fun soldering. The gist of dual modding is that you link every button to both boards (so, LP is connected to the LP on both PS3 and 360 PCBs, etc for every button) and then you bridge the ground between PCBs and the voltage line between PCBs.
Much more detailed (and also highly recommended) tutorials can be found in the 'Tech Talk' section of Shoryuken forums.

well I dont know of any other wii sticks out there that are as nice as this one. I can just easily swap out the springs for the buttons.
not unless theres an adapter out in which I can use my pro 3 sa from my ps3 on my wii?

Same, I also just got this mayflash adapter from amazon that lets you use these badboys on a ps3. Works pretty well during my test and according to a thread on SRK, and it's tons cheaper that a TE and a little better than an SE.
