Official HORI RAP Premium VLX (VEWLIX) - VX (360); V3 (PS3) - Arcade Stick Thread

Sooooo - how do I get one of these in the UK without paying a months salary :wink:

Anyone know if I can find one of these in Canada? thx!

Hori sent me another one of these. Yay.

These boxes take up way more room than any other stick in my collection X_X.

VLX count at 6.

4 PS3 and 2 Xbox 360. :smiley:

MarkMan, why does HORI send them to you?? (yes, I’m jealous) I want to review them as well, can’t HORI send me 15 VLX sticks?

johnnywashngo, I sent HORI an e-mail a month ago, asking of I can buy a VLX from them through HORI-shop USA or JPN. The European division of HORI replied and told me I can’t. They said the only way to get one from Europe is through a Japanese proxy shop or a web shop which buys them in Japan. That’s why I got one from nin-nin-game.fr. It’s very expensive (?359 + ?85 shipping = ?444 = 557 USD) but there’s no other way for us momentarily. We can only buy them for twice the price. $300 including shipping for US-customers is a very good deal. Akihabarashop.jp doesn’t have them for over 2 months now.

got a bunch of stuff that my 300 dollars should go to. computer needs to be fixed, oven needs repair, car, tv all need major attention.

anyway, just ordered one of these bad boys instead!!!

Ugh…I really want one. But it is so hard to justify. Anyone have words of encouragement to push me over the edge? Can anyone vouch for the construction of this? Arrrrrrgh.

Same kind of situation here but I did the same…hope I’m not too late on the preorder.

Nope no words of encouragement. Don’t buy one. That will leave one extra for me later so I can sell it for $500 once they sell out.

seriously, there has to be a market in europe for this. I’m curious of how many they’re going to produce for the US-market, just to get an idea how that ā€œrealisticā€ for western europe. (I mean last time I said I need one now because it’s never coming to europe was for the 1st round jp hrap ex, and guess what, since then we got hori in the uk, the hrap ex, hrap ex se, blazeblue hrap etc)

Does anybody know if these are common ground yet? I just bought one at Evo but don’t have any tools to check it.

they are selling it at evo?

yeah, bought mine today for 269.99 now just have to get it on the plane back home.

no need to post about the common ground…i read a few posts and it is

I saw that Arturo Sanchez (Sabin) was using the VLX on the stream. He was using that on his lap.

got order confirmation

I hope this controller works with PC no problem too.

for that much money it better mow your fuckin’ lawn.

It surely can flatten your grass

Placed an order for the xbox version. I don’t know why i did it because I already have 4 TE’s dual modded, 2 Wii TvsC sticks, HRAP 3 and HRAP EX-SE. i wonder if I should have waited and buy it later for less money but if this things are limited then they’ll probably cost more. Oh well, we’ll see.

I am so tempted to order one. I’m wondering if I should wait until EVO 2011 and hope Hori offers a small discount for it.

Does anyone know if I’ll be able to dual mod this sucker with a Chimp board?

My prediction, in 2011 the only place you will be able to get one is on ebay or the trading outlet here for an inflated price of $400+. This thing isn’t even sold at Gamestop and Hori has a track record of not re-releasing expensive shit like this, just the budget stuff. Try to find the Virtua On Twinsticks.
