« HORI: Real Arcade PRO 3 SA (PS3) and Real Arcade PRO EX-SE (XBOX360) »

by Authorhaunts | DateThursday, September 10, 2009 at 4:10AM | in

  

Tired of modding that worn out wooden box you bought on SRK back in 2001 that somewhat resembles a joystick? Well, you're in luck -- both the HRAP3 SA (PS3) and HRAP EX SE (XBOX360) are both up for pre-order on Amazon.com and will be available on October 19th. If you're looking for a new stick, both these sticks are well worth the investment.

Both sticks are more or less special edition Real Arcade Pros with genuine Japanese arcade parts built into both. The Real Arcade Pro 3 SA for PS3 comes with full Sanwa parts while the Real Arcade Pro EX-SE for XBOX360 is full Seimitsu.

So, what's the difference between Sanwa and Seimitsu parts? At this point, most players have probably got their hands on a MadCatz Tournament Edition stick and the joystick in the TE is a Sanwa. A Seimitsu stick has a tighter throw than the Sanwa so if you find the TE sticks a bit too loose for your tastes you may want to check out the HRAP EX-SE for the 360.

For the Harp3 you can always open it up and pull the spring to make as stiff as the seimitsu stick. i pull the spring once every other month. And haunts where you been for the sessions.

O yeah don't forget the TE sticks don't work with PS2 fighting games, but the Harp will.

@Denny

Thats a good point about the HRAP3 being able to play PS2 games.. And I thought BJ wasnt having sessions anymore!

@Thrust

HAH! I was actually thinking about an old wooden P360 stick I had for years but yours works too. :P

We've been moving the sessions around to other people's places.
