Recommended XBOX joysticks?
 
I'm thinking about getting an XBOX, mainly for DOA3 (loved DOA2), but I'm a little concerned about the joysticks available. I can't see myself ever playing a fighting game on a gamepad, and the joysticks available for the XBOX don't seem all that good as far as I've found.

Can anyone recommend a good fighting game arcade-style joystick for the XBOX? Or perhaps (even better) is there an adapter available that allows me to use my PSX/PS2 joysticks on an XBOX?

No adapter for a PS2 controller yet.

There is an arcade controller being released at the end of this month.

Something like that?

that's a bad stick
 
Flay, that picture looks like the "Arcade-fighter joystick" from Electro-source. They also make the same joystick for the PS2. Several people have written reviews for it at ebgames.com, and they are mostly bad. I've also seen the joystick at a B&M store, and you can tell it's a bad stick just by looking at it. Really cheap (in both senses of the word).

Aren't there any quality joysticks out there for XBOX? Maybe I'll just have to wait. :(

Yeah, it's pretty bad. I have the one for the PS / PS2. The stick is very stiff and the buttons feel cheap. You can do better for $20, well at least on the PS / PS2. Options for the Xbox are not really there yet.

Will they ever have light guns for upcoming games such as "House of the Dead 3"???
