Hello people!
I hope the new year is treating you well.
So, I'm just curious about your opinions about the special arcade sticks and controllersthat are coming out for Street Fighter IV.
I don't know if you've discussed them before, you probably have, but I couldn't find any thread about it so here I'm starting this one. My apologies in case of a repetition of previously discussed topics.
I usually don't use arcade sticks. Mostly because it's kind of hard to get good ones here but also because I don't compete on high level so I'm relatively happy with a crappy 360 controller.
But since I'm a fan of the fighting genre I thought it was time I bought an arcade stick so I pre-ordered the
Street Fighter IV FightSticks Tournament Edition from MadCatz.
I was just wondering what some of you arcade fans think about it, and the other soon-to-be available controllers. Maybe some of you have even got your hands on some of them?
Like, what's the quality like, the price, the design, are these sticks cross compatible with PS3/360, are the controllers as good as the Sega Saturn controllers etc.
In case you don't know about these nice little objects, here's a link to gamespot with pictures and all that

Have a nice day!
