I have a fightpad on the 360 but it's probably not going to work with a PS3. So yeah… Torn between getting it on PS3 and 360...
Turn to the dark side...and by dark side, I mean ps3 :lol:

I do not like versus fighting games but I do have a question for all of you guys who know this stuff. I just bought a 360 SF stick today but I also saw the SSF stick at GS which was about $100 more than the one I bought. What is the difference between the arcade sticks?

Sorry for the hijack. A quick one sentence answer is probably good. :D

The more expensive one has real arcade parts (Sanwa if I remember right), and they're easy to replace. The other stick has Hori parts and they aren't as easily swapped out. Hori parts really aren't bad at all, they just aren't as good.

Put me down for the 360! I actually already have it pre-ordered on Amazon.com. I would go for the PS3 version, but if I bought a PS3 right now my wife may actually kill me. :lol:

I wanted a stick but they're just too expensive, I do use the Saturn usb pad though. That thing is awesome

boo! get the PS3 version. You know you want one anyway, and this is as good an excuse as any! Do what I do: tell the wife that you "traded" for it...

I'm in either system Xbox or PS3. We could have side tourneys with a rule for all vanilla SF4 players that they have to use new characters. God knows I'm ready for some new things in this game. I chose to main Balrog in SF4. Not a bad way to learn execution and timing as he is not the hardest or easiest in the cast. I win a lot, but now its really boring and Balrog's options are very limited after so much time to learn his setups. Time to level up someone new!

Well it isn't entirely a lie - I often sell stuff and then buy stuff, so not everything that shows up in the mailbox is a straight trade. But if I spend a little too much on something, I can just chalk it up to to stuff I already sold or plan to sell in the future....
