Hori Fighting Commader Pro 3 [Fightpad] Question

[StarGalaxy37]

Okay, I don't know how to go about asking this, but I'm interested in purchasing this product above in order to play Marvel vs Capcom 3 and the soon to be released Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 [The PS3 ver.] cause lets face it the D-Pad on the PS3 controller is terrible to play with. I was first gonna initially buy the MadCatz SFIV Fightpad but I've been told it can be faulty and even break easily...as compared to the Hori one above [Has gotten greater reviews]

As I said I was set on getting this but they said the Hori Fightpad was gonna be released in the US on the 26th of August in Gamestop now I was hoping to buy it in-store but after checking the site and was about to click "Check Availability" until i realized it just says "New" and nothing else. PlayStation3 Fighting Commander 3 Pro for PlayStation 3 | GameStop Does that mean I have to order it online [I lack the ability to do so -_-']

Yeah there's no check availability option there so it may be an online-only product. Try calling your local gamestop retailer first.

If they don't have it just buy it online...

I recommend looking around playasia because they also sell the FC3 pro:
Buy HORI Fighting Commander 3 Pro (PS3) - Play-Asia.com

And the original fighting commander 3 is also for sale there (which I have, btw :P):
Buy Fighting Commander 3 (blue) (PS3) - Play-Asia.com

And as for the madcatz pads...

The first wave of madcatz pads (released with vanilla SF4) are the faulty ones you're talking about, the second wave of pads (released with SSF4) seem to not have this problem.

Hope this helps

EDIT: I completely didn't see that part that you were unable to order online...

In that case I recommend getting a paypal account if you can
