Not that new, many stores have them restocked since last month. I got me one from a local gamestop over a month ago. They do go fast though.

I really wish these were a bit cheaper. They look sweet and I want to buy two of them for some sweet home tourney parties.

Just got mine at a local GameStop. At first I wasn't really into the square gate, but as I pretty much only play charge characters I quickly got used to it. I can see where an octagonal gate would be much better for certain characters though. Luckily you can get them for about $10 shipped on eBay and switching them out is pretty easy.

Why isn't there a bluetooth pad?

First, I've NEVER been a fan of MadCatz products, I've never had much success with them, from their flimsy carry cases, to their el cheapo pads (the fury.., from the early PS2 days..).

Plus, this whole half ass compatibility scares me. Why can't we get a real pad, working on bluetooth?

Is this some licensing issue?

Heh, I ordered one of these when they were first announced with some coupon for $130. That was like 6 months ago, and I completely forgot about it and it shipped like 3 days ago. Of course, I no longer need it anymore. Go figure.

The fight pads are available on MadCatz's website though, don't know why they say they are still out of stock.

... Why does the 360 one cost more?

I think it's because MS requires third party to make jacks for their headsets.

I was at one of the Best Buys in Miami this past weekend, and i saw the fight pads for the 360 there. I saw Ryu and Chun Li. Just thought I'd put it out there for those that are still searching.

I ordered a Fightpad from Amazon yesterday and I'll have it today. Hopefully it will allow me to actually play the game. Using the Xbox 360 controller on this game is unbearable. Why is it that I'm able to play all other fighting games but Street Fighter without issue?

Why do these things have to cost well over 50 dollars? 150 dollars! Just for prestige? Holy crap.

Top-of-the-line Japanese arcade parts aren't exactly cheap, you know.

Just so everybody knows, the fightsticks aren't fully compatible with PC. Some work, some don't. Apparently, if your USB port has the proper chip, it works. Look on shoryuken forums for more info.

That's one good thing about living in Arkansas, there's rarely a high demand for anything gaming related. I've been able to pick up two fightpads on separate occasions at the local Best Buy. At least there's one good thing...

For 360 that is.

These are ridiculously over priced, coupled with the fact that I have to pay for the exuberant postal and shipping fee which is more than the stick itself from some online stores. For the price of the ordinary stick plus the shipping it's way over the price of the Championship Edition stick without the postage.

A dilemma, really. :(

I've been waiting for local ones to hit the shelves in my country, but none have so far...

About now, my 360 D-pad has worn off nicely to cater to my playing stile, and it serves it's purpose. However crap it used to be. While I still can't do all of the moves, especially combos, it'll have to do for now.

I don't want to pick up the fighting pad, because of the bad reviews I've been reading and for a pad with just a bit of rubber and plastic, it's an extravagant price to cough up on those reasons alone.

I have two 360 fightpads and have no complaints. You may want to consider that some people might give lower scores to the pads just because they are not as "l33t" as the sticks.
