Okay, now sold out online.
Seems like a nice cheapie arcade stick (weird button layout though) for playing fighting games, connects via the USB port of the Xbox 360 (not sure about PS3).
The Xbox 360 edition is sold out online, so I had to go instore to buy it.

    i bought the ps3 one and successfuly used with MAME on PC. Its the same process of using PS3 controller on PC. I used a program called "motioninjoy". I used it with win 7 64 bit following this instruction.

    Other replies suggest it's usable on the PC, but just be aware that this joystick unit has a square gate/restrictor plate - I went along to Big W and tried it out last time it was on special and I was thinking of getting it for a MAME setup.

    [I like to play classic space games under MAME, so I much prefer an octagonal gate, but plenty of people seem to be happy with square gates for fighting games…]

  Just picked up the last two boxed PS3 units from the Brisbane City store :D

  Curiously, there is an unboxed on there with no ball on the stick. in the same place for the same price…

  There is one PS3 unit in Carindale QLD, I just took two.

  I know these are not cream of the crop Fighting Sticks but for $25 they are a deal. If you play MAME games you can always mod these sticks with better quality buttons, the frame alone is easily worth $25.

  Bought 2 of these today for the xbox 360 from Warringah Mall, NSW. Sorry, they were the last two (lucky me!). Woot woot!!!
