Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix addicts, pay attention: Hori's Real Arcade Pro EX SE arcade stick is as solid a controller as you'll find for the Xbox 360, but it'll cost you.

This chunk of an arcade machine really is just that, with the stick, buttons and components coming from Seimitsu, a company that supplies the guts to the actual arcade machines that get worn down with teenager sweat. Hell, this thing weighs nearly six pounds!

Combine that fact with this being a limited edition object, and you get a $151 pricetag (plus import costs, as this is Japan-only). But if you want arcade quality in your living room, there's not much else out there to match this.
