Program all you want! I'll still beat you in SF3 online.
ye sure, why dont you bring that attitude over to 2df of ggpo. Im waiting.
This thing i would not put in my loungeroom but if i were to make an arcade machine (with mame32) i would definitely put it in.
I will clarify for anyone interested in playing arcade games online mainly Street Fighter.
FreePlay [2df] is a meeting ground where you can chat with and challenge other players from around the world to play in a wide selection of arcade games [but mainly SF3] with minimal, often undetectable lag. [and GGPO is the same but with more players]

fine.
I'll be waiting in that laggy-choopy-as-fuck-2df-shit you call a game server.
Great for playing at night. Does it come with a Parent Detector?
I think it comes with the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack.
Oh good lord. The only thing that's going to dominate is your retinas. Black electrical tape works really well for this crap.
What works even better is the manufacturer not arbitrarily driving up the cost of the device through extremely poor and, for the most part, controversial design choices. For my fighting sticks, I choose unbridled quality over flair any day of the week. There is no reason a device such as this should even consider serving a dual-purpose as a makeshift runway.
You can never have too much lens flare...
How much for it without all the annoying ass blue leds?
Not much, but you have to wait till someone broke it and sell it on eBay.
You should read the article.
Just turn the damn lights off. Problem solved.
FTA:
"Vibrant Blue LEDs...These can be turned on and off with the press of a button."
@Temple
We're all wrong! "without" is nowhere equal to "off", reread kal326's comment. if you want to buy a computer WITHOUT a monitor, doesn't mean a computer with a monitor that can be turned OFF fits your bill.
Yeah, but if the parts aren't made from genuine arcade components like the Mad Catz and the Hori sticks are, this isn't as good. Then again, the price is considerably cheaper so I suppose it balances out.
No offense to the stick makers, Great Job. But for tournament play, the Start and Select Buttons are in the worst possible spot. If anyone ever mashed out on the buttons, they'll definitely hit the start button to pause the game and forfeit a match.
Start and Select is indeed in one of the worst possible spots they could have put it. Surely the classy blue LEDs and likely super-high build quality balance out this minor problem? :p
Guaranteed to increase your e-penis size.
Left-handers rejoice :(
I hate joysticks on the left side, even though they have become the standard.
You get yourself a lefty version by rotating the base, and remapping buttons & axes.
i'm a righty but i prefer my joysticks on the left,so i hope the leave like this or at least have it as an option
Nice Lights. Other then that I woud prefer a more sleek style.
Nice LEDs. That would go great in the 98 Civic I had in High School. I live my life one quarter terabyte at a time.
you just HAD to throw that in, huh.
should be awesome for SF IV
I'll stick with a FightStick Tournament Edition or HRAP3, thanks.
if they made it bigger i could dance on it.
Sell one without the LEDs for half the price.
The lights CAN be turned off, according to the write up. But the deal killer to me is having to PLUG IT IN. Whay the hell would I want to do that when the stock wireless controller gives me great response time? I'm not a competitive gamer or anything... but I'm not gonna pay premium for a plug in controller.
Anyone know if this could be used for the PC?
"Needs more LED"
"How much LED can it get?"
"I LED it slide"
"It's like Lite-Brite only with more stick"
