Well, damn it I better hop on this soon then! Can anyone confirm this 100% for sure?!?
I thought this was common knowledge. The VLX isn’t as large as the actual Vewlix panel, and of course arcade panels will not drop in like the HSS-0130. There’s no real reason for it to be any larger though, and I find it to be a pretty perfect size for home play.
Luckily I went a little crazy on amazon two weeks ago…
Well, since nobody did it I figured I’d do it…I got an answer directly from the horses mouth! Here’s their reply to my email (only took them 11-hrs to respond & that’s probably due to the different time zone!):
"Dear Jimmy,
Thank you for contacting HORI USA. We apologize for the delay of our response. In regards to the Xbox 360 Real Arcade Pro. EX Premium VLX and PlayStation3 Real Arcade Pro. 3 Premium VLX, these product are unfortunately out of stock as of right now, but scheduled to restock by the end of this month. We would appreciate it if you could check back again on our website for availability of the product. Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions. Thank you very much.

I bought one earlier this week anyway but I don’t regret it even after confirming it’s not out of production. Just wanted to clarify for those peeps that are still on the fence about buying due to the rumors.
Sweeeet. Crank those bad boys out, Hori 
psst and dont change the design please.
What would be very cool of Hori would be to include 2 or 4 White Sanwa OBSF-30 and 2 Sanwa OBSM-30 with each VLX.
amazon has both in stock.
Any current news on where to find the 360 version? It seems out of stock everywhere.
i also been looking for over a month, haven’t seen them anywhere except ebay unfortunately.
Wow, the VLX is huge! It looks like it would be ideal placed across your lap, no chance of it scooting off one leg, etc. I’ve got a Marvel vs Capcom 2 stick which I love- how does it compare to that VLX?
Much wider & twice the weight! Like the McDonald’s commercials, “I’m lovin’ it!”
Does anyone know if production has stopped or not for this stick? I’m planning on getting one and it doesn’t seem like I can find it…
you will need to purchase from amazon.co.jp via an agent that will export it to you
btw its the newer blue vlx, aka diamond
So the original is gone, but there’s an alternate version that amazon sells? I’m fine with that. It’s just that I’m having trouble finding it on amazon.co.jp…
Nevermind. Thanks for telling me :]
Hope you have over $500…
People have paid over $600 to own these things so far!
And we thought that the first edition release was expensive!
i still got a couple
so hit me up if you guys are interested !!
1 new ps3 - 450
1 used xbox - 300 (very good condition)
