  Bought 2 of em early last year. Cost $50 ea. Nice, solid & responsive stick, work with PC too via Xpadder.

  If you're really serious about the quality of the fight stick I would advise against the one KuroNeko has suggested. The build quality is quite cheap and the buttons require some force for proper input. Also the stick wears out after a few months of usage, think N64 era: Remember how the controllers would get loose? It's pretty much that effect.

  Here's some tips:

  The gate which controls the functional movement of KuroNeko's recommended stick is square - meaning it is best suited for charge-based characters, such as Guile who utilise straight movements.

  Octagonal gates, which, as the name implies, features 8 sides are best for fluid characters who demand accurate semi-circles or 360 motions, such as Zangief or Ryu.

  Get a product with sanwa parts. These are the universally accepted buttons for competitive play and are frequently installed in arcades. Any tournament edition made by MadCatz is quite good for the experience it yields, and it has been on discount in the past.

  TLDR; Keep your eye on this. This is exactly what you want, its build quality is excellent and it is ridiculously, ridiculously cheap.

  I got the Xbox version of this.

  Gamesmen - Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Fighting Stick for PlayStation 3
  Postage is probably around $10.

  Uses real Japanese arcade parts (Sanwa). The button placement is purely for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom though, so the button placement might be strange for different games. If you like, you could physically change the button layout.

  This isn't an issue in Streetfighter where you can assign specific buttons.
  Also read some reviews of the stick to see what its like.

  Thanks for all the reply guys. Honestly I was thinking I won't get any reply since it's such an old game.

  bossmode, I did saw the one you mentioned but it appears to be out of stock and EB games told me they won't be getting anymore stock. I wished I saw it when the offer first came on.

  I'll be keeping an eye on the Gamesmen stick, hopefully the price for that will drop soon.

  If you're still looking for a fight stick, Gamesmen have the Hori Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 XB360/PS3 for $115 shipped right now. Great price for a solid stick with Sanwa parts.
