Ok so I have not long recieved this from ebay and because of all the hype from these controllers being sold out they have now increased in price on the secondary marker. I managed to get one for £50 which I thought was a good deal until I used it. The reason why I purchased this was so that it can replace my normal xbox controller as the D-pad sucks for fighting games. As soon as I recieved this I tried it on Street Fighter 4 straight away and to my surprise I sort of found it worst than the original controller. The D-pad on the control is similar to the sega saturn one but only worst. Its hard to pull out the moves on this control as when you need to input specific commands the D-pad feels loose and is all one big button and you find yourself doing a dragon punch instead of a hadouken. Whilst it does look great and varies in different style as there is a Ryu, Ken, Chunli, blanka and a rare Akuma. The control is actually quite comfortable and the buttons are good its just the D-pad which is a big let down. There should be a way to connect a PS3 controller to an xbox.
The only reason I would recommend someone to buy this is if they collect street figher stuff and would like this as some sort of memorabilia as they do look great.
Forgot to mention there is also a turbo mode with this controller and you get a little instruction book with it which tells you how to set up the turbo so that you can have it on a fast speed or slow speed, This would proably be good on shooting games.
