Recent Purchases and Good Finds

Seems like this thread went semi off topic for a minute there. Trying to swing it back. Here’s some discounts on arcade sticks at Fry’s this week:

Atrox Arcade Stick for Xbox One - $159.00 + Free Shipping

Real Arcade Pro N Hayabusa Arcade Fight Stick - PlayStation 4 - $159.99 + Free Shipping

I just saw this good deal for anyone who’s looking for a ps3/ps4/PC stick and hasn’t pulled the trigger yet. I have one myself, they were extremely easy to put sanwa buttons in.
I might pull the trigger on a second, I haven’t decided.

Deal is only good till Saturday.

Hope someone capitalizes on this deal.

I picked these up from Barnes & Noble yesterday:
TOMY Nintendo Controller Keychains

Pro Tip: These are in solid red gashapon containers, but not in dispensers. It’s supposed to be random which of the five controllers you get. But if you take your phone camera and place it into one of the small holes you can see what’s inside.

Gamestop screwed up or something because the PS4 Panthera is $99. https://www.gamestop.com/ps4/accessories/razer-panthera-arcade-stick/139468

This is not surprising, as today is Black Friday in the US. Lots of sales to be had, @Evolution169 …which means stiff competition. Sometimes retailers (reacting to those competitors) further drop sale prices mid-day with hopes to increase profits/liquidate inventory.

That said: is the Panthera even worth $99?

Well I mean if you are looking to buy a stick with Sanwa hardware, it’s a good price. I haven’t seen anything else that low, but I haven’t looked around much either.

Arcade Shock is selling Qanba joysticks at a discount too for Black Friday/Cyber Monday. They have the Obsidian for $170 before shipping and the Dragon for $260. There’s also a deal on the Red VLX too for $10 less than the Dragon; which is an absolute steal (the Red VLX is normally a $350 stick). Those are better deals to me than the Panthera imo; which I wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole because of Razer’s hit or miss build quality.

That’s a $70 difference and a pretty weak black friday discount when he regular price is $200.The Obsidian does look pretty sweet though.

Razer still hasn’t got their sticks to a decent build level?

I’ve not used any Razer peripherals in sometime, on PC their hardware is of a really bad build quality and really leaves something to be desired.

Then how you can judge a stick you haven’t try once?

He’s not judging Razer sticks. He’s judging their other stuff.

And he’s basically on point.

Razer has a reputation for terrible products that break in a few months.

And as Someone who got the Atrox, its fine for the first year, but then the plastic case started to crack and snap on alot of people.
For me the ejection button cover always break off.
