I've never used the more expensive sticks out there, but the Virtua Stick definately fits my needs.

I just picked up a green controller this week for the Dreamcast that was a little different, as it has "Millennium 2000" written on it. It's rather lovely and was in amazing condition considering it had no box and was at a boot sale:

Didn't think I'd like a green controller but it has a nice, emerald like quality to it. Love the Sega logo they've printed on the circuit board, too. :D

As for Saturn arcade sticks, I have one called Fighting Stick SS by Hori. I'm not a arcade stick connoisseur but I think it's fantastic, far better than Sega's official one.

Mixed reviews, eh? Twenty bucks wouldn't be a big loss if I didn't like it and would be a solid buy if I did. I'm still undecided.

Yikes! I only see one Hori Fighting Stick for Saturn on ebay- a mere $118 out the door. :shock: I'm sure it's awesome but way out of my league.

Nice green controller though. I want one of those too!

Wow, it's worth that much? Looks like I got a bargain there when I got mine then.

Oh, and add me to the list of people who wouldn't recommended the Virtua Stick. I've still got one and the stick feels way too soft moving it about and doesn't appear to use very good parts like the Hori stick. Wish i could think of some cheaper good ones for you, mate.
