HORI Pro Fighting Stick... helps keep thumbs blister free!

Personal gloating moment: after obtaining the rank of "Veteran" in Virtua Fighter 5's Quest Mode, my thumbs are killing me. But it was worth it. Still worth it, since every character I fight now tries to demote my rank. Anyway, we got an e-mail from a fan who bought the HORI Pro Fighting Stick in one form or another. Granted, his board and stick seem to be a lot larger than the one offered by Amazon, but if you're really into fighting games and really against the SIXAXIS D-pad, it's probably worthwhile. I'm used to the D-pad now, especially the extra-handy shoulder buttons that help me with hitting two or three buttons at the same time. If you've got VF5, how are you guys faring? What character have you taken under your wing?

[thanks a lot, Chairman!]
