    This may be of interest for those thinking the stick is bland. I stumbled across this when I saw markman mention a full plexcover on his blog on cag. With some searching I found this post on shoryuken:

    Which lead to here:

    I haven't picked up one yet, but I'm considering it, especially if I can find a nice piece of art to put in there.

    Considering Amazon's still selling both the 360 and PS3 SF4 models and has them in stock, it seems like no one's missed out on them yet.

    I really like my normal madcatz fightstick. Some of the buttons are getting wonky now so I'm gonna have to replace them. It kinda makes me with I went for one of these bigger ones so I wouldn't have to bother.

    Also to be fair, this marketing of it is still ill-conceived, preposterously-executed, and ranker than Shabba.

    You mean running around the living room with my arms extended in front of "Project Natal" just won't cut it, huh? Microsoft moves toward no controllers, and Logitech moves toward an entire living room full of them: These boys need to duke it out and reach a conclusion because I am so confused.

    In reply to XCM Rumble Joystick Gives PS3 the Quakes
    I dunno, I intentionally disable rumble for fighting games. And, at least for street fighter, I don't really see the point in having memory buttons. I mean, with the input leniency in SF4, no single move is particularly difficult to pull off, and longer strings of moves is risky if the first one gets blocked.
