I think we should sticky a topic like this for quick bargains(?) on trademe:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Gaming/Joysticks-gamepads/auction-358556764.htm (sold it already!)

[Pinolicious]

good stuff, would totally go for it if it was a ps3 stick

but I can see how this can benefit peeps for future bargains like this

BAM!

if the payment for the pinball repair wasn't next weeks i would so jump on this.

awesome find, I think the dimm auction the guy has will be interesting for all you can play naomi hacks on naomi boards...we'll see.

[amendonz]

trademe took the 3s board down, not sure why, maybe the NO CD hack is illegal? don't worry tho, i am in communication and will know tomorrow if i have it......had to borrow some $$ off my flatmate.

thats right homies, i might have a cp3 3 strike pcb. omg omg omg omg

[rugdoctor]

be weary of what pajoey said, if you remove the ram, then you loose it all...make sure you get the cdrom and the cdcopy of 3s

[amendonz]

won't be removing a thing mate. once its in the cab thats most likely where it'l stay, have no desire to play any other cps3 games anyway.

[rugdoctor]

mean stick at great price

OOOHHH Are they easy to mod? I don't know much about sticks but could I simply install PS360 PCB into it so that it works for well PS3 and Xbox?

EDIT: Sorry if any of you guys were interested in it because I bought it  Also thanks Rugdoctor for the heads up, I've always wanted an HRAP (even though it's PS2, I'm still happy  )).

EDIT2: LOL adding an extra ) to  gives it a red tongue lol

[rugdoctor]

roomy and easily modded with pcb of choice (i have 5 of them), just a small labyrinth of screws and nuts to negotiate with to open up the top plate, but after that is all quick disconnects,so matter of snip and tuck into the ps360. hmmm...keep the ps2 pcb, cause it might come in handy. The buttons will be mushy horis, but the stick is stock jlf so swap a few buttons and you will have a mint stick. Be aware the plate wont accomodate a ls-32 without serious metal work, so swap out the jlf spring for a seimitsu one for a stiffer stick, no homo.

Glad I made your day ))

[Nick4now]

JLF is definitely all good. Hori buttons are fine since they register when I want them to but I will swap them out for sanwas eventually ($5 a button on TM if iirc).

Now gotta figure out whether I should either buy a pcb or 2 lagless converters (a ps3 and 360 converter) depending which one is cheaper 

Thanks again mate, I'm looking forward to receiving my hrap  .

TVC Wii stick for under $80.  Note that you need to use the wii remotes to make this work.
