I went to the LA Times website and looked at the Fry's ad.

HERE

Don't know if it's only for the LA area.

Too bad the duel stick is not on sale. This stick only comes with a PC adapter. The console adapters are sold separately.

For about $20 each. I think it's a good deal, more so for the lifetime warranty. Supposedly they'll have adapters for the PS3, XBOX2, GC Next, so that this is a really solid buy.

I plan to call Frys when it opens at 10am to see if they have it.

BTW Joshic I can pick one up for you if you would pay the $49.99 + 7.25% NV tax, shipping and, if paying by Paypal, the fee that Paypal adds on top for me to receive payments. Let me know within the next 2 hours please Should be around $70 for the whole thing.

I went to a local store (Anaheim, California), and they had it for $50. I bought it right away, and considering buying another one since the twin stick is $150. I've been keeping my eye on this stick for a long time, and was wavering between it and a MASS stick. Awesome joystick, i needed one to replace the Agetec DC stick a friend stole.

Ebay is a great place to get console adaptors for cheap.

And in reality, the only arcade stick available for the Gamecube.

how about the specials they have at Best Buy for the SC2 and arcade stick combo?

That X Arcade Stick deal must be just that store, it's regular price on the website.

It's $99 at the Las Vegas Fry's, Decker But I'm picking it up online! The $4 shipping is about what tax would have been anyway!

I was in Fry's in City of Industry and they had cabinets too! I was pretty surprised. I may have to pick one up soon.

I saw that too...for $1000 it's a little overpriced. For less than $100 you can nail an empty cabinet at an arcade auction.

Anyone know where you can buy the Dreamcast adapter? They don't seem to sell the adapters on the x-arcade site, and outpost doesn't have them. The Fry's I went to this morning didn't even have Xbox connectors, much less Dreamcast ones.

And another thing... are there dedicated single joystick connectors? The only ones they had were for the two player ones, which work fine, but leave a second controller dongle hanging...
