the only "better" sticks out there for the ps3 are the HRAP3SA (comes with sanwa buttons) and the SF4 tournament edition stick (again with sanwa buttons). both of these will run you $200+ after taxes, to me the sanwa buttons were not worth the $70 difference in price.
the "best" option is the most expensive option and is a custom built stick. built to your specs, liking, playing style, etc. this is really only for tournament players.
all in all if you get the HRAP3 i think you will be more than happy... get it for $99USD from amazon.com (not .ca) and get free shipping to a US address. check out the reviews, the one by Matt Warner is pretty good...

i like this one too, its not too in depth but really puts the SF4 standard edition stick in its place. it really is just an over priced $50 stick built for casual gamers...
good luck! |
thanks!!! that made up my choice. so everywhere's Collector Edition is sold out?
