Available in Japan this March for the equivalent of $330, the Hori Real Arcade Pro Premium VLX is the biggest fightstick yet (and probably ever) for the Xbox 360 (http://gizmodo.com/tag/xbox360/) and PS3.
Modeled after the actual Taito Street Fighter IV (http://gizmodo.com/tag/streetfighteriv/) arcade cabinet, the controller features Sanwa buttons along with a flip up panel that allows you to rewire/configure the device as you see fit.
And let me be the first to say, if you have this ridiculous joystick at home, nobody, and I mean nobody, better be defeating you at Street Fighter. Like, if Yoshiki Okamoto shows up at your house, he loses. All night.
