hdtv? pressure sensitive buttons? memory slots ontop (looks like xbox?)... yeah... they aren't making this for us... its for the $$ money makers $$ that have money and don't seem to know better. |

You are right, but it would be a nice tool to screw with. Maybe a few will pop online used in a few months. |

I actually saw the Jr. and the 2 this past weekend. First let me say that the analog controls suck. These are not full sized joysticks like you are used to. They actually resemble mid eighties IBM joysticks. They stick up maybe an inch above the board. The button configuration is layed out for x-box or PS2 and is, in a word, confusing. The buttons were borderline unresponsive at least far less responses than anything I've ever seen. I don't mean they wouldn't trigger something, but they felt sluggish. The arcade style joysticks felt looser than even any Happs ultimates I've used, but I'm pretty sure they were ultimates so they couldn't really be any looser. The monitor was a PC monitor and the bezel did not cover it up completely so forget true arcade experience. The real kicker of course is the price. ..$3-4K here in the ATL..If I remember correctly. Certainly not any less than that. The only real positive was the attempt to account for all the controls on a PS2/x-box joystick. the problem was execution. and really unless you have massive hands, there is no way you could control the analog sticks with you thumbs and press any buttons. it was one or the other. Oh that layout just sucks. Of course no spinner or trackball either. |

ok this isn't the analog joystic they have on the board, but its close in size and appearance |

Thanks for the info! Maybe not a good solution after all. |
