yeah that usually seems to be the case. I'll be ordering from him next time I need anything.
And Oldsage, I was just pointing those items out.. didn't mean it as yelling at you or anything.

Even though I'm very interested in the Happs Universal because of it's 4/8 way switching, the Competition is a bit cheaper, and it looks like the "bat" on the controller might be a bit longer, which would be a plus IMO. It looks like it's all around a very "industry standard" controller. But I've got to decide if a saving a few bucks and getting a longer "bat" is worth loosing 4/8 way switchability for. Hmm... :\

well that will really depend on your gameplaying? What games do you play?
If you want machine "to play them all" you need a dedicated 4way IMO... or a 49way which people have been raving about lately.
If you are a classics guy who will once and a while play newer fighters and the like... you will NEED a dedicated 4way.
If you are a newer game player, with the occasional game of pacman or frogger every now and then, you could probably get away with just 8ways.
It really depends on what you think you'll play. There is no doubt that PacMan plays better on a 4way compared to an 8way IMHO, but if you're only gonna play a 4way classic once a month, you won't care. If you're going for a highscore, or are addicted to teh classics, you'll be sorry you don't have a 4way.

I would not recommend the universals for anything other then the classics... No fighters and similar 8-way games... Also, the stick is tiny - not suitable as a general purpose stick... If you want a general purpose 4/8-way switchable stick, go with either a J-Stik or a Super...

As far as i know, you are absolutely right... But those eBay bundle deals are of even lesser quality then X-Gaming's products... So yeah, Happ is the best way to go... If you don't mind the outrageous prices... If ponyboy can get you a good deal and you feel safe ordering from him, go ahead... I personally do NOT like sending money via mail or my credit card number through email... But that's just me...
BTW, i think you might be able to get better prices directly from XGaming.com then through eBay... Not sure though...
