I went to the Mad Catz suite during CES last month.

Edit: Here's a link to the article I wrote about it.

Hori has a good arcade stick.

horiiii

Do you have any links? I might actually just shell out for the $150 stick since it might come in handy. That or I could just grab that other X360 controller in your link. Any news on the d-pad performance?

anyone know where to get the old saturn arcade stick modded to work with USB?

i still have one of those dual ones
they are still probably the best since its made by the same company that made the real arcade cabinets

I just tried it and they won't let me.

i really want to preorder from Future Shop because i have a gift card i want to use up.

are you trying to order the PS3 version? if so it is sold out online at both FS and BB, so you cant pre-order that way anymore. you will have to hit up the store first thing on the release date.

also check out EB and Walmart, you might be able to pre-order from them in person.

dude do you happen to have another one of those for sale? that dual unit looks awesome!!!

anyways there are two ways to do this... the risky and might not work way...

and the easy way... use a saturn > ps2 converter and then a ps2 > usb converter...

i have some seriously hardcore SF2 friends... my turn usually doesnt last long.

yup. my buddies and I are hardcore street fighter players

ps3, since i like the d-pad better. im not shitting out $100 for the arcade stick.

so is it gonna be out on the 17th or 19th?

PS mutha fukin 3 but i voted PC

Here's the Xbox 360 version. http://www.assoc-amazon.ca/e/ir?t=be...5&a=B000V02P6Q

And here's the PS3 version. http://www.assoc-amazon.ca/e/ir?t=vg...5&a=B000MWE3BI

So I got the game yesterday and played it for about 6 hours.

My first impression: it's just not as deep as 3rd Strike... and the Ultra Combo concept is like the ulimate equalizer...

how'd you get your hands on it so early? I thought it was set for release on feb 17th?

Also, anyone out there know someone who's reselling their TE fightstick? Should've pre-ordered but for some reason I forgot until I saw this thread.

PS3 FTW

he got it early cause he's a pirate ARRRRRRRGGGG

it was leaked on the net for 360

its been out for a few days already in HK/Japan

No dude, I live in Asia... came out on the 12th. Stores were selling it on the 11th at night.

Joysticks for the 360 are sold out EVERYWHERE in Hong Kong... can't find one... unless you pay a premium for them

so we getting it on 17th or 19th?
futureshop have it advertise as 19th

or is it once again, canadians got screwed cuz of those quebec fucks?

fuck I heard that the PS3 version has no AA, and only 640p during those super combo cut scenes, while the 360 version has 2aa and 720p all the way? Also my friends are telling me that the PS3 version takes 15secs to load w/o install, and 5 sec with install per game?

Is this true, if anyone managed to get a PS3 copy, is that a big deal?

I really dont want to play SF4 on 360 controller, but if the PS3 version is significantly worse than the 360 one, I will pay for a joystick +360

if i recall correctly the sfIV arcade cabinets don't have AA either, so I doubt the PS3 version will look worse than the actual arcade cabinets. Maybe not as buttery smooth as 2xAA would on the 360 but still i'm sure it's not exactly going to be bad enough to warrant getting it for the other system if you've already decided to get it for the ps3.

Also, I read that during the supers it does dynamically scale to 630p or what not, but I don't think that's a big issue either, I mean looking at the screen shots the game doesn't look particularly better or worse between systems.

For me the motivating factors are, the ps3 controller, free online and well all my friends are getting it for the ps3 as well lol.


edit:

Also found out you can do this with the ps3:(easy custom in game sound track)
