I was in J and R here in NYC on Saturday and what appeared before my eyes
, but stack of the Hot Rod and x-Arcade controllers. They were each about $150. That seems like a substantial savings off the direct price plus no shipping charge if you buy in-store. Next month will be another support downtown Manhattan no sale-tax period and that sweetens the deal even more. You can also get the
X-arcade through J and R's website as well as an x-arcade tp PS2 adapter , but the Hot Rod doesn't seem to be listed, yet.
