    So, just ordered my stick from Gamesbites and had the same problem as Placebo - the order went through but there was an error on the card. Contacted Live Support straight away and they said that the payment had to be reviewed, did so and confirmed that the order and payment were successful. So I guess we'll see... :)

    Have you got a set of hex (Allen key) screwdrivers and a flat-head screwdriver?

    What I would suggest is to open up the top panel and rewire the quick disconnects so the stick is in Controller Type B:
    X--Y--LB--LT
    A--B--RB--RT

    He wouldn't have to -- the issue he's describing is a well-known Madcatz 360 PCB problem.

    Usually it's the roundhouse button that goes though, not heavy punch, isn't it?

    Ah, you're right.

    Reading comprehension FAIL.

    Instead of going for a full new button, I'd just buy new microswitches -- cheaper & smaller for shipping.

    Could just be a loose quick disconnect or something as well right?

    Ahh that expains alot. My roundhouse button just decides to stop working about once a week.
    Changed qd's and button and it still happens.
    first 4 times i completely changed quick dissconect and it was working again.
    have since found that plugging stick out and back is what makes it work

    Must be a pcb problem so

    **** sake, order cancelled and now it turns out the stick isn't in stock on which is why we were having such trouble ordering it. This is despite both the Black and White version showing as In stock on their website. :rolleyes:

    Just ordered from here and paid via Paypal. Came to £125.39 inc. delivery which is pretty good all things considered. I'll let you know if/when it arrives. :)

    EDIT: *sigh* And they're sold out too as of 2pm. :'(

    I just ordered from here now. It seems to be either here or GameGears :o

    There were 4 available when I ordered and now they're 3 so they win the "At least the website is showing the ****ing stock correctly" award. :)

    Dunno why you're complaining Farz, you already HAVE one of the top sticks.

    Although I can understand that you've caught the fever.

    You'll want to get a custom to outdo Ry by the end of this year, mark my words. ;)

    *edit*

    And if you want to try something different:
    Buy a Qanba stick -- full Sanwa, well-made, heavy.
    Shipping will be killer but at those prices, it's the same deal.

    *edit EDIT*
    SOME of the Qanba sticks are wireless.

    Ended up being €170 and some change when everything was taken into consideration. If you're stuck for money then just go for the Round 2 from Qfonic, but if you want the S then I'd recommend PureBuy.

    Looking to buy my first fightstick. I'd class myself as an intermediate player at fighting games. I tend to beat my friends at them and I hold my own online, though I don't win all the time.

    What would you guys recommend?
    The main fighting game I play is Blazblue: Continuum Shift but also a bit of Tekken 6. I've never been that big of a Street Fighter person.

    > Inb4 ****storm. :p

    Also for someone who's never played the MvC series, would you recommend buying 3?

    Madcatz Standard edition if you don't have money, Madcatz Tournament Edition if you do.

    It's just a classy piece of equipment. There's alternatives but they're not really "better".

    MvC3 is great fun imo.
