Had I known this before, I wouldn’t have bought this Pelican.
Yarr. We’ll see.
Coming in september? …but wouldn’t Gamestop or EB have already put up info on this stick? Although EB announced Hori’s FFXI’s Vana’diel clock.
September? If that is true then this is straight-up awesome.
If I have the money at the time I will pick one up.
DOH… :looney:
Yeah I’m with nothingxs I would’ve held off trading in the games I used to buy the Pelican and got the Hori if I knew about this. Only ended paying $15 for it tho’ but still. If the Hori is still coming out for sure and supports the Xbox headset and has the three inputs for each system(like the Pelican) I’ll go ahead and get one anyway, I can still trade in SSX3 and see how much I can get for that.
Isn’t the Hori ps2 only?
And that is the best smiley, EVER! :looney:
Yes, the japanese one is PS2 only.
ps2 only as in no psx/ps1 compatibility?
Good stuff…and I was just about to waste my money and import that. Thanks markman. :tup:

Here is what I can say…
Hori of Japan and www.VGONetwork.com will be bringing two of the most sought after products in Japan to the US!
First off is the Final Fantasy XI: Online Vanadiel World Clock. It’s a neat item which displays both local time and the actual game time in Vanadiel so you’ll never miss anything going on in your FF world!
A special for the first 20 people to preorder the clock, it will be $39.99 with a FREE BradyGames Final Fantasy XI: Online Strategy Guide and free USPS Priority Mail(2-3 days) shipping! There are other shipping options, if you’d like UPS it’s 5 dollars more, or UPS 2nd day air it’s $13 more. Every order after that though is still a steal at $45.99 with free USPS priority mail shipping! You can’t beat that price anywhere, this is direct from Hori to you, courtesy of Hori and VGONetwork. Other sites sell this clock for upwards of $100.00 USD! Check ebay, it’s insane, just get it direct!
And the deal everyone is looking forward to… the Hori Real Arcade Pro Fighting Stick is coming! It’s going to be $84.99… wait for it… FREE SHIPPING! That’s for the first 20 preorders… After that, it will still be one hell of a deal, $90 with free USPS priority mail! More details on the Real Arcade Pro when it’s closer to sale time. The Final Fantasy Clock will go on sale first, support Hori and show then that the US crowd needs their products!
If this goes well, we will see future Hori products… !
Look for more info soon at www.vgonetwork.com !
DOH :looney: again. Oh well I guess my next stick will be from Dreaded Fist :nunchuck:
Tell me when your taking preorders. I would like to be one out of the 20 to save $5. 
You can put me down for a Hori when the time comes.
Hey, I got a question, Markman. Will these hori sticks be distrubuted by one company (probably online) or can we got to our local gamestop, ebgames, or best buy and pick one up?
So…anyword on a specific release date?
– Master KaijinJin –
Whoa! That price is way too steep for my budget. You think maybe Hori would consider releasing their other products besides Hori Real Arcade Pro Fighting Stick? Like this one perhaps?
In any case, Ill try and make forth the effort in purchasing this stick, both because of their top quality and support. It definitely wont be anytime soon, however. T.T
Well, if you consider the overseas shipping charge, that stick is going to run you at least $75.00. You also have to consider that the real arcade pro is the latest edition and the top of the line of hori arcade products, so it is probably going to be worth the wait and extra ten dollars to buy. But I guess if you want to save $10, it’s cool.
Isn’t the purpose of Hori releasing their products to the US consumer so that we won’t have to pay outrageous overseas shipping costs?
Very true. I couldn’t even phantom the idea that a stick so expensive from a company with such good reputation would suck. I am just bitter about not having enough money to purchase Hori Real Arcade Pro Fighting Stick anytime soon. -_-
So…anyword on a specific release date. I want this stick bad.

Does anyone have pics of this arcade stick?

That’s a link with the Real Arcade Pro on it. Looks pretty tight. Keep coming with the info, I’ll definitely be grabbing one of these.
