Picked up a Hori Wii Stick for Ā£16 on ebay, due to a bunch of scratches on the front. Only wanted it for modding so didn’t mind.
…Turns out it still had the peel-away scratch protector on it and it’s brand f*cking new haha win!

Although now it’s too shiny to pull it apart…so might have to find another one…

Like new Black Fighting Commander PSX pad

^^ Is that TWO L1 & R1’s?! ^^

nope, did not come with the original box :frowning:

I scored 2 RockCandy 360 pads on eBay for $13 shipped. One with a bad cable adapter (swapping cables anyway) and one with a bad rumble motor (Who needs em?).

I grabbed a 360 Slim with a broken disc drive off Ebay for 27 bucks, and a power cord for 10 bucks more. It was at a pawn shop an hour away from me, so they were cool with me driving down to pick it up.
No hard drive, but I threw in a 16gb flash drive i had sitting around and now I’m playing Ultra on the chosen platform. I just didn’t want to pay $110 bucks for a refurbished one from Gamestop, so I’m 100% happy right now.

That is the reason I had to click Disagree on your post.

Getting a working console for $27 Cool. Being a ā€œchosenā€ console, I doubt it.
P.S. Xbox 360 being the console of choice at Evo is a BS move

I’ve been playing on PS3 and PC. Not having to sit at the VS screen for 30 seconds waiting for a match to load is incredible. And PC netplay being what it is, 360 is where it’s at right now. If the PC netplay gets fixed, then I’m hopping back, of course.

I hear several people say this happens,but I have never ever encountered it on any of the times I’ve played on PS3. I’ve never seen one version take longer to load than the other. And even if it did that just sounds like a gross exaggeration.

Yes. They can be used simultaneously, works great for games that use a block button.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PS3-USED-HORI-HRAP-V3-SA-JOYSTICK-FOR-PARTS-BUT-WORKING-/161415323508

Full set of Seimitsu buttons, JLF, PS3 V3 PCB, in a beat up HRAP V3 shell for $25 + shipping.

It’s an okay deal if you’re in the US, but probably a great one if you’re in Canada.

Just got one of these guys from one of my stores for $15

Needs to be cleaned up a bit and worked on (up and down don’t register, other than that it works fine). Not bad for a lazy hobby stick to play with.

Good deal, the se case is nice to work with.
