Stick Options for PS2

Heh heh.

We all wish!

More like $150 minimum, over $200 with shipping charges if you buy it from Japan. Shipping will be at least $50 with decent, insured air mail. This is not a piece of hardware you buy without insurance.

Current currency conversion is 82 yen to the American dollar… as of 3:30 PM EST today and it has a good chance of dropping lower than that. That’s a horrible rate. The Japanese themselves prefer 110-120 yen to the dollar because it means their goods are easier (less expensive) to sell to Americans.

Japanese MSRP is $122 with the current exchange rate. The store owners and exporters (in Asia) who buy that stick are NOT going to charge $122. They’re going to mark them up.

The HRAP 2 SA is a limited edition top of the line joystick.

There was a time you could get these sticks used for around $85 but that was quite a while ago (2008).

Used first-production HRAP 2 SA’s sell for at least $150 now. $200 and up is not unusual.

Even with the new-production, you’re not going to see this stick for less than $150 now. That doesn’t take into account shipping.

Hopefully the US Hori store will have them, and in turn Amazon as well. That way people can get free shipping at a decent price.

im gonna have to because im gonna do a 6 button thing, and i dont wanna mess with button and wiring…
