If only they did blank ones. It'd be great for 2D XBLA games and the upcoming Mega Drive Collection (even if the X button would be better where the RT is).

Sucks that most XBLA games don't allow control remapping though. Worse still, SamSho II does... but not for ranked matches, wtf?!?

Would be nice if they came out with blank ones with swappable configurations via a switch or something.

OMG am I dreaming? When the hell did they announce they were making game pads that are basically Sega Saturn controllers? That was hands down one of the best controllers for 2D fighting games. I'm excited! =)

You have to buy $75 worth of stuff to get the free shipping. Worked fine for me when I ordered 2 Tournament edition sticks.

I agree, a blanka pad does suit the 360 green.

Hmm... PS3 description says they are 2.4 Ghz Wireless controllers, which I likely would believe requires a USB dongle. Any confirmation on this?

Also... they will not turn the system on, they work with PS1 games but not PS2 games, and they have no rumble.

Anyone have a chance to try these yet? I am considering a buy, but am a little leery of the Mad Catz brand.

This a Capcom day? Noticed on Amazon that Devil May Cry 4 (for the 360) is $20 today instead of $30. Its their deal of the day. Not too bad if you want to play some DMC!

No code pop-up for me and my pop-up blocker was off.

But whatever, I pre-ordered SF4 and an SF4 gamepad which qualified me for free shipping. The shipping would have been $10. My subtotal is just under $100, so I got my 10% off anyway.

It filters based on where the post originated from. If a post is written on the Xbox back end and pushed to other platforms the comments are "housed" on the Xbox side. This puts an end to those pesky times we post the same thing 2-3 times across the network.

I think you'd still have the advantage, well with them not being able to aim and all.

I hate to ask (usually because it always goes sour) but are there any difference between the PS3 and 360 versions of these pads? I still havent decided what version of the game I am getting and this could help. For example do both have to use a USB reciever or just the PS3 ones? Also can the 360 pads turn on the console like a regular controller? Thanks for the help!

PS3 fightpad is wireless with USB dongle; 360 is wired. Don't know if either one can turn on the console.
