    Well as a comparrision when I bought my VF5 EX2 I paid ?20 new from Gamestation about 2 years ago.

    I paid ?25 collected for a DOA4 stick last June.

    Also my local Game have brand new EX2's for ?35 so I would say ?20 is about the best really

    Unfortunatley with the arrival of the superior Madcatz stuff the standard EX2 just doesnt cut the mustard.

      I paid £50 for a VF5 EX2 back in the day. And £100 including customs charges for a Hori Rap lol.

        What do you reckon is a resonable price to sell it for or should I put it on ebay?
        I think one sold here a month or so ago for ?90. I'd be very interested if you ever stick that bad boy up for sale here!

          I had a doa4 stick too. £70 from game focus. in my defence, I traded a ds lite for it that had cost me a fiver. so in a sense the stick was a fiver. Sold it to a mate for £35 about two years ago. Regretted it straight away but ah well, I'm just such a good guy. it's so nice and colourful. I'd recommend putting stuff like rare and out of print in the auction. yum

            Blazblue TE sticks...



            Mad Catz once again proves its mastery of slapping new graphics onto existing products with the Blazblue: Continuum Shift Tournament Edition joystick, sold exclusively through Aksys Games at $199.99 a pop.

              Still $200 is a bit steep.

                PS3 one looks nice, 360 one doesn't.

                  http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-...k/Product.html - Found this on play.com for a decent enough price, especially considering it works with PS3 and 360 out of the box.

                  By all accounts the stick and buttons are poor but I have a few spare Sanwa parts laying about the house. I have 6 pink and 2 red buttons, shame I dont have the full 8 I need in one colour

                  Anyone have 2 pink or 6 red buttons? I'm thinking maybe a Viewtiful Joe artwork would look very nice on that.

                    why do they have to coulour the button for the 360, it just makes the stick look tacky when compared to the ps3 unit. arent letter labels enough?

                      Its a condition that microsoft stipulate. Any third party pads od stick must have the four face buttons coloured the same as the official pad. Sucks ass!

                        Well thats odd because my Hori Tekken 6 Wireless stick doesnt have them...all are coloured Dark Grey



                        So why others do it the ghey way is beyond me...obviously there are ways around it.

                            Your right, I cant believe I typed that while looking at my round one TE with its all white buttons!

                            I think I must have miss read that somewhere. However my RAP EX-SE has the coloured buttons. Hmmm.

                              That said it could be a stipulation for sticks in other territories...like you mentioned the RAP EX-SE has them & thats Jpn only...those Blaz sticks are US & they have them.

                              Perhaps they arent so strict here in blighty

                                I'm guessing that, as long as the ABXY button labels are coloured (like they are on that Tekken stick, and the MadCatz ones), the buttons themselves don't have to be.
