AVAILABLE NOW Street Fighter LE Controller Blockbuster $25

[quote name='davidmt']So did you try these yet - I'm wondering how good they are?[/quote]

It's perfect. The lay out is perfect, much like the Saturn pad which is arguably the best fight pad. The quality is perfect, no braking this controller out of frustration because the AI kicks your ass 50 games in a row. You'll have to take a hammer to it crack it. The D-pad sticks out a bit so you don't have to dig your figure inside the controller to get out those shoryukens.

But I'm an arcade stick man, so I wouldn't use it much.
 
Akuma is ONLY available at Blockbuster, its exlusive. You will NOT see these at EB's, GameStops.. Infact, once they sell out of Akuma, thats it. Each store will receive 3.
 
[quote name='Tromack']Shit. I told myself I wouldn't spend any more on games for a long time. But I have gots to gets mes an Akuma.[/quote]

Tell yourself its an accessory/collectable....im telling myself im going out for a nice dinner to cook, when in reality im snaking out to get me one...
 
Those look nice, I'll stop by my local Blockbuster tomorrow to see if they have it (I doubt it though, my BB doesnt even have a Gamerush in it).
 
I just picked my Akuma up. BTW, they also have an exclusive cover varient of the street fighter comic...Great comic, i HIGHLY suggest picking it up!

Also, Mr. Rock, The Street Fighter/BlockBuster friendship is company wide, so i would keep a good look out

Sorry if the controller pics are too big. Just thought I'd be nice and show everyone the controllers.
 
[quote name='marcos']i bought all 3 akuma ones.......waiting for ebay[/quote]

Great. Thanks for bragging about screwing over your fellow CAGers.
 
I just picked up a Ryu Controller for cheap today ($6) thanks to the power of the uber trade in, Drake for XB ($22 in credit). Check your local GameStop to see if they have the game in stock as they sell it for $5.99 used and $6.99 new.

I was hoping to pick up the Akuma controller that I peeped last night while picking up my copy of Pokemon, but it sold quick.
 
those are some fantastic controllers, that all look good but the akuma one looks extra cool. I can't wait to see what the other ones will look like. Anone here nuts enough to be getting all 10 ?

I just with there was some xbox versions coming out.
 
Just picked the Akuma one up at my local blockbuster, thanks slagcoin! I am deciding if I should open it or keep it sealed. I really want to open it to play my Street Fighter with it, but something is telling me not to. Are you guys opening yours? My blockbuster also got on the Star Wars Trilogy box set also, they weren't allowed to sell it yet though. IF they would've sold me that to then today would've been a perfect day, but alas its only a little more then 2 weeks until it comes out.
 
[quote name='DirtyBoB']i got one too, i did the deal were you trade in 2 old accesories and get 25% off a new acc. 19.99 or higher[/quote].

is this deal for blockbusters?? or just gamerush/blockbusters?

Definitely puts the "Ass" in Cheap Ass Gamer don't you think?
 
Honestly the controls aren't that great. The packaging is beautiful though.

They try to imitate the old ASCII fighting pads for the DC/Saturn. Not even close.

The D-Pad is too loose. I brought this up with Nuby when I had them up for display in a tournament we ran late July. To my knowledge that was the final revision and it was never fixed.

::sigh::

Plus I like arcade sticks anyways lol.

I've gone to 3 differetn BB's in Los ANgeles and they all have 5 or more Akuma controllers with more on the way. They are not exclusive, it's just that BB gets them first. www.estarland.com has them but will not sell them until October. You can even find them cheap on Ebay. Don't let people whip you up into a frenzy about something being rare until you check it out for yourself. Now, if you wait until CHristmas or next year, then they WILL be rare (I'm assuming) but for now you can get them easily. The guys At GAmerush were really pushing them on me like they had a whole warehouse full of em that they had to get rid of.
 
I will definately wait for the Xbox controllers and/or arcade stick. But my question is, wasn't there a coupon to get these cheaper about 1 1/2 months ago at GR's?? It was a sheet of coupons with Yu GI oh cards and free Nintendo plush and these controllers right?? Would they still honor those ?
 
since it's an accessories, we can use GGC at bestbuy when it releases. that is just an option
$25 - $5 = $20 :)

but having a BB right outside my house is realllllllllllly tempting..
darn

Nope. What, did you ask the people at Blockbuster "Will you get more if you sell out". Im sure they said yes because so many are un-educated and don't even check emails. what they got is what they got. VERY few stores will receive an extra one or two, that is ONLY if they sell out within 5 days of getting the controllers. BTW, I am talking about the AKUMA one, the RYU one will be available for a while since it is NOT an exclusive.

Well, THEY may be uneducated, but I can tell the difference between RYU and AKUMA. They all had five or more AKUMA controllers. And it's not exclusive, they just got them first. They may be "exclusive" for now but other places on the web will be selling them also.
