Recent Purchases and Good Finds

I rolled the dice on $7 as well, thanks for the find, but fingers crossed too tho.

Is it bad that this is my favorite thread on SRK? I don’t have pics right now but I just scored a old style HRAP (full sanwa, MC Cthulhu+impV2+XB360pcb, detachable ethernet neutrik) for $40. I don’t think he knew what he had because he only used it on a ps3. Great spare stick plus I already had ethernet converted PS2 and DC cables.

Very nice find on the used section there to help other people out. I often forget to check the used section for good deals on Amazon.

Nah dude, I love checking this thread all the time whenever it gets updated as well (especially with people helping others find good deals).

For those looking for the Nintendo Switch, Game stop is taking preorders for their next shipment on console bundles.

What kind of PCB does that mini Hori have? Is it any good? I don’t see $7, I see $8 + shipping which isn’t bad.

from a video I saw it looks decent enough for a padhack, specially when you compare it to the ds4 which iirc had very little input lag. also, there’s no perfect west to test anyway.

They wouldn’t let me do a console only pre-order at the 3 Gamestops I checked in the SF Bay Area today.

But they were selling $500 $449.99 death bundles for the grey controller one again for units shipping out on April 5th.

P.S.
Folks can pre-order the Tekken 7 Mad Catz TE2+ (Red Version Only) and both versions of the Hori RAP Type N looking ones.
They didn’t have a SKU in the system yet for the Hori RAP. 4 Kai looking stick for the Switch :’(

  • Edit -
    Slept on it, and broke myself this morning for the pre-order. At first I wanted the version that had the Neon Red & Blue Joy-Con’s, but after thinking about it, I came to my senses that the grey one was just as good/wouldn’t draw as much attention when I used it at work or on the subway. I also pre-order’ed USFII TFC.

Yeah the preorders Game Stop is doing isn’t for Console only units. Bundles only.
The Bundle I got instead of getting 1-2-Switch comes with The Zelda Strategy Guide and Shovel Knight.

I think these Bundles and not doing console only is to stop or slow down people who just flip the console on eBay.
There Switch consoles selling on eBay thats more than the bundles here.

Just watch out for those “third-party sellers” on Amazon. They have been having a crazy amount of scammers in the last few months. You see $200+ items selling for $50. I’ve already had an issue with one (wasn’t even that good of a deal), he kept sending fake tracking numbers and Amazon wanted me to wait it out but I gave them hell and got my refund.

I have a feeling we’re gonna see a lot of MadCatz in this thread due to possible liquidation.

Heres to hoping they find a stash of hidden TE panels and bezels to sell us.

Tournament Edition 2+ for PS4 & PS3 currently on sale for just $199 for a limited time at Frys.

http://frys.com/product/8717781?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

Because Fry’s can’t send back product to a company that no longer exist and they want to clear out their Inventory.
Fry’s will take less of a lost clearance the sticks out then having them sit in their backrooms collecting dust.
Product not moving is money lost.

I’m holding out for a firesale should one happen. I don’t need another stick but kind of liking the te2 shell.

Atrox Arcade Stick for Xbox One on sale for $169.99

This is my Hori VLX. I’ve had it for a while but recently got the Jasen’s customs Hitbox panel for it and a Brook UFB. I went to a local sign shop and had them print my graphic with a pic of me and my CFN on a sticky piece of laminated vinyl. Pretty cool eh?

I can’t see how Madcatz’ demise will affect the prices of their existing products. Its clear to all that once said product is in the hands of the consumer and the personalisation process begins, pretty much every stick becomes unique. What I’m trying to point out is, the demand for aftermarket parts, sticks, buttons, blah, etc., for Madcatz products is so healthy, that owning one isn’t a daunting prospect at all. This very site, and every member herein is testament to that. And every respectable store owner will know this. If I ran a game store, I’d be buying cheap from source and selling at retail. Standard business practice.

Good news boys it’s happening. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dvideogames&field-keywords=MADCATZ+side+panels got a few different Madcatz TE,TES side panels on Amazon w/ prime shipping too!

Oh man, I wish they still had flat panels in a white or black. Good lookin’ out!

Match those sides with a new bezel (while they last)
