Now that I own two fighting games (Soul Calibur IV and Super Street Fighter IV) and intend to pick up at least one more in the future (BlazBlue Continuum Shift), I find myself wanting an arcade fighting stick for the PS3.
I'll likely wait until Black Friday sales to buy one IF I buy one, but I wanted to ask for input from the more experienced fighting game fans among us well in advance.
I'd like to get an arcade stick that does NOT have character-specific or game-specific art on it, but if the price is right, I could probably overlook the art.
A side note: I owned an ASCIIWARE Sega Genesis SG-6 Arcade Stick back in my teenage days and loved it. Playing Super Street Fighter II on the Genesis with that controller remains one of my favorite fighting game experiences. It's going to be hard to measure up to that memory.
...Man, I wish my parents hadn't sold my video game stuff.
EDIT: By the way, are there any current-gen multiplatform arcade sticks? I'd love to find a stick that works on the PS3, Wii (for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom), and PC.
EDIT#2: Oh man, this would be awesome. Too bad it's $130 plus the expense of adapters.
