Because of my frustration with a stick ( i grew up playing street fighter on super nintendo) I decided to hunt down a fight pad. Sold out everywhere online, so i just started calling stores. Gamecrazy never even got them in my area, almost all gamestops didnt have them, but then i tried one last gamestop close to my work, and they had two of them left for ps3. So I asked for them to save me one, sped down there and picked up a ken fightpad. Got home and played for an hour, im still not great, but definetely way better and much more enjoyable with the fight pad. I was worried the controller would be broken out of the package, from what i had been reading, but so far it works great!
