Hori Fighting Sticks ps3

Just a quick heads up that (not sure if competitor) the UK "rainforest" site has them in stock at £29.99.

Been looking everywhere for somewhere which had these in stock for a decent price getting ready for street fighter.

If you need a stick these should give you good value If you dont want to spend stupid money on the official Madcats SF4 sticks. The madcatz £150 stick looks very nice but their £70 one doesnt use arcade parts and costs over twice as much as entry level hori stick.

the the hori fighting stick doesnt use arcade parts either, its all their own parts but £30 is a pretty decent price considering how rare they are at the moment

still waiting for a reviews on the normal edition madcatz stick before i get one though if they are £70 everywhere i may give that a miss

. £70 for an entry level stick would be insane considering you can import a decent hori for a little more

yes its all hori parts but figured the parts would probably be about the same quality (if not better) than the entry level madcatz, and for the price it seemed like a bargain.

May be brave and try to swap out buttons/joystick and try to get hands on some sanwa parts but heard its harder to mod these sticks as buttons are soldered to PCB.

TBH the stock stick/buttons will be probably good enough for my cack hands anyway!

Seen some shocking prices lately for these on ebay/etc and anywhere which actually had these in stock, one was as high as £80.

Cheers for the heads up! Just saved me £20 probably in comparision to the ebay one i was considering...
