This old chestnut :whistling:

Any chance you can scan your receipt craig because every Game i go into have never heard of these being reduced, and show up at £19.99 at the till

so I guess this would be ideal for Streetfighter HD Remix?

was just going to ask that !

ive got the picture can you please let me know how to upload it

thanks for the link

I got this in GAME about 2 months ago for £7.99 so I'm guessing this is the price across the whole UK. The controller itself is a bit s#it tbh. After playing a few arcade games with it I started asking myself why I was bothering since it's actually easier to just use a normal controller. Still, £8 for a controller and 3 games you can hardly complain. These would make good stocking fillers :thumbsup:.

Yes it was £7.99 in Game by Liberty Stadium, Swansea earlier this week.

Looks good voted hot.

I have one of these, and they arent too bad. I do not think however that it would be up to much on SFII because its analogue.....and dissapointingly, the spinner control does not work on Tron, which I was really gutted about....and wasnt really fast enough to be any use on tempest..

Thanks Craig, i'll mosey on down later on and have it out with them :-D

I'm hoping for a good arcade stick to come out with SFIV.

saw them in my local ASDA for £7.00

SFIV is getting its own range of controllers, from joysticks to controllers that dont have analog sticks just a direction pad and the 8 buttons in the correct layout.

As for this stick, rubbish for SF2. Mine didnt even last 4 rounds before it gave up and refused to work anymore

They don't show up at £19.99 at the till and haven't done for at least three months.

this joystick isn't great tbh. i bought is for sf2 but its shape/design didn't allow for smooth play. i guess it is meant for puzzle and simple arcade games.

is the dpad on this much better than the 360 controller's dpad? It looks like it would work better, but does it. This is all I would want this for, as the 360 dpad just doesn't work properly on games, which makes games like MK hard to play. Please let me know. Cheers

It's a -little- bit better, but only by the slimest of margins. It's quite ironic that I gave up on using the proper stick to just using the D-pad on it because it felt a darn sight less twitchy.

Overall the stick isn't brilliant, more a novelty than anything. Getting the games thrown in is a bonus, but in their own right they're not much cop either. Frogger is pretty OK, Astropop is like a weird take on Alleyway from the old skool GB, and Time Pilot is a pretty frenetic (if twitchy) shmupper.

I'd probably be ****** off if I'd paid 400 gamerpoints for each of the games (~ £3.50) but as a bundle this is quite an ok stocking filler.
