Not until the next batch come out in 4-6 weeks.

If you're desperate, get a Hori Real Arcade Pro + Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons from AkihabaraShop.jp

Ah, the Elecom/Mayflash stick.
SDTekken link.
Chinese-made, not completely atrocious (for the price), but there are better out there - MarkMan gives it a pithy D-rating.

At the low-end, I'd try to get a Saulabi stick, or try to find a cheap Hori.

are all the arcade sticks wired, just out of interest?

i was looking at this one



any good

I want one for the ps3

All good commercial sticks are wired, either because they're afraid of input lag (theoretically, this is BS), or because it would increase the cost of the stick by another €5-10.

Also, that's a Hori Fighting Stick 3.
It's not bad, but like all cheap Horis the buttons seem to have a horrible tendency to die pretty suddenly.

what would you advice K.O.Kiki

(somthing that wont break the bank)

Honestly, as a first stick the Hori FS3 isn't a bad idea.
If you Play-Asia had them in stock (and shipping... well, haven't checked that yet), for a cheap stick I could also recommend the Saulabi stick -- it's a Korean bat top, so if you've ever tried the Tekken 5 machines in Dr. Quirkey's, that's what it would feel like.

But with arcade sticks, you get what you pay for.
If they were available ANYWHERE, I would say get a MadCatz standard edition stick; after that, you're in the realm of HRAPs & customs.

I have been loving this game Getting a real arcade style stick is a great idea, I'm going to check prices now.

Ah, forgot to mention this:
Saulabi sticks are weird, because they're Korean.
This means they use a rubber ring instead of a metal spring (like US/JP sticks) for resistance; and so sometimes the stick will be crap, other times it will be awesome.

Gonna have to hit up my new contact in Korea for "proper" KR sticks soon...

Got myself the XBox 360 version of that one, it's a nice stick to use and not of too bad quality either, Hori is a renowned manufacturer in Asia for that sort of stuff. Will have to see though how durable it is using it for a while, but it definately does the trick for now being a rather casual player.
Got it on release day from Gamestop here in Galway for 54 quid, not sure if they still sell them as I had to pre-order it. Personally I wouldn't spend much more that that on this stick, it's worth the money I guess but still it's a budget option compared to all the Hori Real Arcade's and Fightstick Tournament Editions out there.
