Just letting ppl know, Arcadeshock.com is taking Pre-orders as of March 10th for the Hori Real Arcade Pro EX at regular MSRP ($130) Shipping date is said to be July 2009.
I don't think cost is the only problem. Availability is the other problem. Even fight pads are sold out. If they are in stock, it is usually from mysterious sites that either have no reviews or bad reviews. I'd rather wait than take the chance and be scammed. But the lack of availability is ridiculous. I think I'm going to hit the stickies at shoryuken.com, learn how to connect wires, and make my own joystick. Because by the time I am done doing that the joysticks will still be out of stock.
I do not own a PS3, I own a 360. And even I have to say that Gamespot seems to be a little biased towards the PS3. Honestly, if I were playing a game I would hardly tell the difference between the two.
