PS3 Virtua Fighter 5 Joystick

One week after Virtua Fighter 5 ships to market in Japan, a special Virtua Fighter joystick joins the party. The stick follows the design principles of the early Hori Playstation controllers with an expansive base and buttons that are arranged in neat rows. The construction material has not been disclosed yet but based on the photo, we're guessing the controller features a PVC base and a laminated metallic top that's bolted down with four lugs on each corner. Please note the VF5 joystick connects to the PS3 by way of USB cable and does not support wireless play.
Pricing is set at JPY7200 or US$88 from NCS. The price reflects the high cost of importing heavy controllers with overnight service from Nihon.
