man... my hands really hurt after playing fighting games on my Playstation, i just remembered that i saw some arcade joysticks during the EGX05 (tekken 5) where do you guys get them? or at least do you know where i can get one somewhere in the city or any other place? thanks

oh btw the joysticks i found in harvey norman is so expensive, i mean they're nice and have life time warranty but for 200 bucks for a single one? no money for that! Evil or Very Mad

X-Arcade is what you want. It is used at UTS every friday from 12-7 at the concourse. Wait. The semester is over, so you will have to wait until next year for live demostrations. Very Happy

man... i don't care about the quality as long as they are good enough and let me play tekken, last probably for some years Very Happy

xgamers have a lifetime warranty joystick, but hey i'm not the type who likes to smash on the joystick that often (hopefully), even a cheap joystick will do for me as long as they are sensitive enough for fighting games.

got one from ebay :p 47 bucks including delivery from melbourne, quite small but good enough, accidently dropped it once (actually more like flying across the room) and still works fine

what brand? i also dunno this is like one of those cheap ones, not high grade like the ones u see in EGX
