IIDX controllers (Japanese) $49.90 at play-asia

[yyr]

I'm placing an order for Wii component cables, trying to use my coupons but don't have $50 in my order. So I'm looking around for other stuff and BAM! I run into this.

I know that the US bundles are cheaper, but I also know that some of you prefer the Japanese controller. I've never seen them this cheap, and these are brand-new.

I'm not sure how much shipping will cost. Due to the size, it might be $10-15, so maybe buddy up with someone and buy two.

It's true that some people may prefer the Japanese KOC controller for IIDX, but the BM US version is reputed to be better over all.

Keys on US Ver don't stuck in the middle without customizing unlike Japanese one...

My PC-PS controller using printer port doesn't recognize US Ver, though...

It's about time they started selling this controller for the price it's had in Japan for the last 2 years. Personally, I say use the control board from this to build an ASC or for the tradein deal with Desktop Arcade. As mentioned on here, the US controllers don't work too well on PC.

Old news is ooooooooooooooold. They marked it down to $49.90 over a month ago.

They're not $50 in Japan, they're more like $40. Haha.

Still a good price though.

Um yeah... And if you looked at the coupon, you saw that it said $50 and over, not $49.99 and over. Sorry, it's one penny too short. Trust me, I tried to get it.

Oh, and shipping, you have a choice of I think $35 or $45. It's really lame, but if you don't believe me, go over there and try to buy one.

If th shipping is lower, PLEASE tell me what it is. This is one of those cases where as far as shipping, i'd like to be proved wrong. Maybe it was just that way for the holidays. I don't know.

So, did anyone try to buy one? If so, how was the shipping? I just know it was that much (if not more) whn I tried to get one.

Oh, and yeah. This is kind of ald news. Good news but old news.
