It seems a little strange to want a super gun for SF3rd right now, when the PS2 version is out this month, and an online version is out early next year. Plus I'm sure that there are going to be display issues, somebody else confirm this line of thought, since the super is likely going to output arcade resolutions and how is your TV going to handle to them. This is a possible headache.
Now I've never used one, but I have pics of boxes that look fundamentaly simple, but not necessarily the best option, especially now. Also, anybody know if CPS3 pcbs die after a awhile like the CPS2's did, due to a battery for ROM running down? It's been a while since I read up on this stuff.
Cool ass collectors item, yes. But how practical is it with these concerns and imminent console releases?
Now I agree that MAS comes off as unprofessional, which is why I wrote a buyer's guide, but it's not exactly hard to call them up and order. Phone orders are last decade, but still easy. I mean, when I called up and the lady had to come inside because her daughter was making too much noise in the yard for her to hear what button layout I wanted I was like, "Do I want to drop $250 down these people?" But I still got my stick the next week, exactly how I wanted it.
Overall, MAS was a hell of a lot better buying experience than ordering off Red Octane, let me tell you. I may be alone on this one, but those fuckers screwed me in shipping. I was pissed at RO.
