Decisions, decisions... (spin-off from my old stick thread)

Post by IsshunSengeki » Sun Apr 10, 2011 12:58

This is a spin-off thread from my old thread, 'Time for a new arcade stick... o'clock.'
I've given up on building an arcade stick at the moment, because a mental cost-benefit analysis has told me that it's better to spend money and get something that's guaranteed to work. As such, I've resorted to looking at Play-Asia.

I figured that it's not such a bad idea to get another Hori stick, but I don't feel like getting another EX2. So, I've found two.
Hori Real Arcade PRO VX.SA

Hori Fighting Stick VX
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-dd- ... -3u0y.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

VX is cheaper, but HRAP is... well... it's a HRAP. They're pretty good (from what I know). And this one is modelled after a Viewlix control panel.

What do you guys think?

I am actually quite drawn to the VX-SA. They actually have a HRAP Premium stick over there, but it's about $300. I mean, I like fighting games, but I'm not Umehara serious. :P

... why don't you just buy a SFIV round 1 TE stick? Same parts and should be cheaper!

And buy it through Orochinagi's store
http://orochinagi.com/store" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
so I can get 10 cents or something to help with running costs.

At the moment, our store seems to show UK items but should also show US items - let me know if it doesn't.

Otherwise if those are your final choices, then go with the VX SA - good parts means longer lasting use

Actually, current exchange rates show that 149.99 pounds is about $232 AU. Sorry, I'll find some other way to contribute, Gunny. :D
It seems like it's the VX-SA. Don't fail me this time, Hori!
