The only difference is that there is SC IV art on it. It's a good mid-grade stick. If you're more serious about your fighting/arcade games, you should look into getting a high quality stick. Look into getting a Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 (HRAP3). I got one about a month ago and it's unbelieveable. I also modded the balltop, and the buttons (Sanwa). Here are the before and after photos.

Stick also comes in Black or White
AFTER

Of if you can wait, I'd recommend waiting for the Street Fighter IV sticks coming out later in the year.

Where did you pick up the Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 Stick, and how much was it? Is that available officially in the US, or did you get it from Play-Asia.com or something? It's a really nice looking stick. Also, do you know when the SF IV sticks from Mad Catz are supposed to be released? I've had Mad Catz controllers before, I've never seen them release an arcade stick. I might wait for the Street Fighter sticks, but I'm inclined to trust Hori's expertise with them. The SC artwork on the sticks looks really good though.

I have one and it works well for me. Maybe I'm not "Hardcore" enough but I have no desire to spend 100+ on a stick.

Which stick are you referring to thats over $100? I only see them listed for $50 or less.

That one.

Thats weird as it looks exactly the same as the one on Amazon for $50. Whats the difference between the two?

The one on Amazon isn't the Pro model. I'm not sure of the exact specifications though.

Got my stick from FedEx yesterday and it's a good stick. The button layout takes getting used to but the build is nice. The cord is 9 feet and that's perfect for my setup. Probably won't get another one though because I want to SF IV one. For $42 it's a great buy.

play-asia sells the Real Pro. 129.99 I beleive. I may pick one up depending on the reviews the SFIV stick gets.
