Mad Catz Street Fighter X Tekken sticks up for pre-order at $160
After we got our hands on Mad Catz' Street Fighter X Tekken controllers earlier this year, and now the company has made them official. So far, the only controllers to be revealed are the FightStick PRO joysticks we saw at E3, though presumably the line will also include FightPads and possibly less professional sticks.
Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the FightStick PRO are currently available for pre-order at $160 each. A release date wasn't announced, though Spring 2012 is probably a pretty good bet.
