PS3 Fighting Stick 3

The release of PS3 Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection on the Playstation Online Store was a welcome surprise last week. The game would have been sweeter if we had a Fighting Stick on hand to play around with but beggars can't be choosers. As the default supplier of gaming accessories for the Japanese marketplace, Hori rushes to the fore with the Fighting Stick 3 which looks a lot like previous sticks in the lineage. Thick, sturdy, and fitted with candy colored buttons, the Fighting Stick 3 is a digital controller which connects to the PS3 by way of USB cable.
The standard face and trigger buttons are located in two rows across the face of the base while the following buttons span the top portion of the stick: TURBO, HOME, L3, R3, SELECT, and START. Three gradations of turbo-fire are available with speeds of 5, 12, and 20 shots per second. Preorders are welcome to ship on or around February 8, 2007.
