Retro Joystic Coming to Xbox 360

[wraggster]

Not only are the first party controllers for Xbox 360 coming fast and furious, third party manufacturers are also getting into the game. This time, Mad Catz is putting out a retro arcade joystick controller for the 360. It's got the same amount of buttons as a regular 360 controller, except instead of a stanadard left analog stick it has an arcade stick.

It's, conveniently enough, called the ArcadeStick, and should be released October 1 for $70. We're not sure if it's going to be wireless, but it should make Pac Man and Frogger more fun to play on Xbox Live Arcade.

So many buttons, now if they all did the same thing it would be truly retro, remember those sticks folks?

I have an X-arcade 2 player joystick. You can get different conectors for it to link up to ps2/pc/xbox. but i am waiting for a xbox 360 interface for this as it uses real arcade components.
