good luck finding one.... but since you are going to the mecca why dont you get something better (... thats not made by mad crapz) like a HRAP-SA. it has exactly the same parts but with a much better reputation, they are rare and expensive here but you should be able to get one out there.
fyi, i just modded my regular HRAP3 with all white sanwa buttons (just like the HRAP-SA or the SF4 FightStick TE) last night and it makes a world of difference (will post pics later). when i first got my HRAP3 i loved it but after a couple of weeks i started to loathe the crappy hori buttons. they felt like crap, when pushed down they still felt raised, they were loose and rotated and moved around, they were loud and had a mushy feeling (feels like they dampened your button press, kind of like a resistance) that sometimes messed with doing ultra combos. anyways i love the new buttons they are easily 10x better, they are quieter, more responsive, have a shorter throw, when depressed the button is completely flat (doesnt feel raised or convex), its now easier to do 3 button ultra combos.
also i was playing some dude last night who was pretty good with zangief and abel. when playing someone skilled with zangief its always a tuff match but i can usually keep it close and make the battles go back and forth but this guys abel drove me crazy. i hate playing against abel, he's not big ang bulky like zangief but he has all the throws, can roll through fireballs and his stupid three hit move hits high and then low so you have to be on top of this when you are on the defense.
guess what its friday the 13th (again, the 2nd of 3 times this year), anyone picking up resident evil 5 ??? i havent really played the demo too much but the game looks awesome and challenging. cant wait to hit up gamestop and grab my copy!
