I ended up with your old controller it looks like Raekwon! It works great with the PS3!

It was a little used up though. It would have been...oh, I dunno, polite of it's last owner to have let me know that 3 buttons didn't work on the 1st player side. The stick was grinding too. Nothing a little WD40 and some wire reconnecting didn't solve! It works great now!

I'm headed to SML later today to see if I can pick me up some Hori brand competition sticks. They apparently are the exact stick we all grew up on playing Street Fighter in the arcade! Should cost me all of $20-30 for those, and about 10 mins of my time to swap out the current ones.

Anyways, I gave the X-Arcade stick a good test yesterday with buddies, and we had a ton of fun! Got it all hooked up to a projector, my PS3, and an old (used to be useless) PC for some MAME!
