It's made with "real" Suzo-Happ parts, although Happ parts have gotten noticeably cheaper since they started manufacturing their own stuff rather than just licensing it from IL.
Preferences aside, what's in this stick is better than what's in a Mad Catz BrawlStick or a Street Fighter SE, but...
^ I thought about this, too. In the end I decided for 10 bucks it was worth it for me to have a physical copy of the game.
Ideally, Sony will offer 2 or 3 choices for our free game, since I assume lots of PS3 owners own Infamous already.
Not only is there a steel book, but the UK LE version came with a slick little 7 inch statue of the main character:

Additionally, the direct download of the pc version is $6.95 right now on amazon.
Just a FYI in case anyone would rather have it on pc, or doesn't have a wii but wants to get in on the deal and try out this great game.
In my case, I would simply rather pay cash for something than put it on a credit card. Not that I don't pay off my credit cards every month, but one less thing on the bill is one less thing on the bill.
When I went to my local, they had but one copy of Valkyria Chronicles left, and ample supply of everything else. V.C. will be the game that sells out at basically every store, is my guess, as it really is far and away the best deal of this sale.
Word. The hurdle with the Habu is the firmare upgrade if you want to do it. It's a juggling act to be sure. Once you get everything squared away an hour later, the thing is fantastic. 'Til your scroll wheel breaks 2 weeks later...
I'm gonna wait for all the reviews, since all things being equal I'd rather own a 360 baseball game since most of my friends own 360's not PS3's. However, if The Show prooves to be that much better, like it was last year, I'll be getting it for PS3 and just playing games a little less often...
This sale is off the chain.
Europa III plus both expansions for $19.90? Are you kidding!? Yes please.
Quake Wars for $5.90? Yes please.
I'd also get No More Heroes for $15 if I didn't already own it.
Why isn't everyone talking about grabbing STALKER for $7.90? That game is beyond tremendous and beyond underappreciated.
I hope the reason no one has mentioned it yet is because everyone already has it...
UT3 for $10 bucks is a great deal, too.
