It was discussed in a thread a few weeks ago. I'm just wondering if someone has gotten it, and what's it like.

[Soi]

Hopefully I'll have one this week. I'll post impressions when I get it.

[Saurian]

Bruv you know GameFocus has some? Steve can get them in I was told and it works out cheaper than importing.

Just waiting on some cash so I can get mine >_<

[Geezer]

How much are they at GameFocus?

[Saurian]

I havent been down myself but I was told by a friend who passed by there that they are around ?45.

[Siri]

Is your friend serious Saur? Christ, I might as well get my arse up to london by train at the weekend or something if that's correct. that's a blinding price for them

[Saurian]

Dont make the trip yet - I'll go over myself tomorrow and find out for certain.

[Geezer]

OMFG, ?45!!! Thats cheaper than Yesasia and Play-Asia by far once you factor in shipping

I was put off this stick due to its high price and high shipping price, but if this price is correct I have to get one

[Geezer]

I just called and they don't have any yet
I asked about price and the guy said they could be pushing ?100

[Saurian]

Sorry about that people - (makes mental note not to take what others say as fact )

[Geezer]

I thought it was too good to be true but I still got all excited

?100 does sound more like a reasonable resale price considering the stick is $80 iirc and weighs 2.6kg, so they have to take care of their own costs and then make enough for it to be worthwile

Got mine today. It's kinda like a supersized version of the Japanese Virtua Stick. Shape is very similar and so are the buttons and stick. The stiffness of the stick is also pretty much the same (not very stiff). Suits me fine because the Virtua Stick is my favourite stick and I prefer the looser feel of it compared to for example the Dreamcast stick. A positive thing is also that the mirror surface on the unit doesn't start to look smudgy right after the first time placing your hand on it.

[Siri]

?100

I'll just keep the train fare then :P Although it is a decent resale price as Geezer said, it still shows that it's better off importing on your own. Still, I'll hear a couple of views about the stick before I make any painful transactions in the future, wether(sp?) it be ?75 or up to ?100.

Mine has been delayed shipping-wise until 8th August (Yesasia)

Mr Ono, I got mine ordered from yesasia and there's no mention a date when I'll get it at all...
