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.

Anyone that turns a classic machine, into a MAME machine, or any new game, should be shot on general principle.

Just wondering, would be better to atleast provide a "default" explanation for the reason of removal just to avoid giving people who click on a link to a post the old "404 page not found" error

I got my TE stick for 325 off craigslist, and my standard for 150. Now madcatz is releasing more :P GREAT

2) Word on SRK is that the SE fightsticks are dropping like flies. If you get one, it's bets for you to mod it as soon as possible.

The problem with these setups for me, as is the case for many other reviewers, is the spacing between the buttons and the joystick -- much too close for my taste. That said, ultimately, you cannot go wrong, especially as compared to stock controllers.
I'm going to be embarking on the building of my own wireless stick for PS3 using the above-mentioned parts and a Sixaxis PCB. I'm really looking forward to it. If you're interested, check out my Tweets @gtangjr, or via the #SFIV hash.
It's a easy-to-medium difficulty project that will likely cost the same as the MadCatz TE, but I don't have to wig out trying to find one, and I don't have to deal with eBay or Craigslist, paying more than it's worth.

Look under joysticks and pushbuttons.
(I do not work for them, but they have been extremely helpful, so consider this a reference, not a plug.) :-)
GOOD LUCK!

As for wired vs. wireless, the reason it isn't wireless is because MadCatz didn't want to pay the Microsoft licensing fees to license the wireless tech. (The PS3 side would be simply that Bluetooth is hard...).

just like any gaming mouse, wired is just better

The point being that it's not a seamless experience the moment you're sending information to a server. There should be no discernible difference between wireless and non for this purpose.
Perhaps while playing the regular game, there might be an issue; but I assure you, only Matt Buchanan could tell.

It's not likely there will be any noticeable additional lag (speaking in terms of the average player, mind you) with wireless sticks in normal non-interference-based conditions.
And learn some respect, champ.
02/28/09
I understand what you're saying, but just because there's lag / latency in any online match doesn't mean we want to add to it with input lag from a wireless controller.

That said, the more and more I play SFIV online, the shittier and shittier the multiplayer experience is. I think it's already gotten to that bursting point. There was one match I had where the fight started, the screen stuttered and without any visible intervention on my opponent's part, I all of a sudden had 40% of my life missing. It's as though he was playing against a still-standing character on his end.
My Internet connection is not the greatest by far, but by no means is it a slouch. I get 5000 down, 650 up, and a ping of about 20ms in my informal tests. In chatting with folks online, I'm told I have between four and five SFIV bars shown. Plus, I only play those with at least three bars. So for me, even though I've been playing SF for literally 19 years, even at the competitive level when I was a teenager, wireless is fine for this purpose. It's inexact no matter how we slice it.

"...and the gaming world went nuts.
In any case, what is your point? The sticks have been hugely popular among gamers, considering the massive popularity of SF, not to mention the popularity of arcade-style sticks, in general, among fighter fans.
