Where can I buy this arcade stick?

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-m-4 ... -3a6j.html

It was available in many websites, but seems it became impossible to find in a short time :(

Of course, I only want it brand new.

Hope someone will help me

Japan auction (yahoo). You'll probably need a proxy service like shoppingmalljapan.com

my buddy andsuchisdeath has this stick. i've used it a few times for ps2 cave shmups. the joystick itself is very nice, but the hori buttons aren't great. i think he said he got it for 100 bucks from some guy who was selling a bunch of them a while back.
it sure is pretty. :wink:
Side note: I played Arcana Heart 3 last night and had fun.

There's none on Yahoo Japan. Cheapest I saw was 17,700 yen. So, not really worth it, in comparison to what you could get for cheaper.
I haven't actively browsed/used this forum in many years and it's no longer an accurate representation of me.

I have retired from genre-specific content creation after 13 years, but I'll always love this little genre in my own personal way.

Yeah it's been about a year since these were flooded on eBay for $90, now it seems like only a few remain with inflated price... I'm also looking for a PS1/2 HRAP, one went for $50 the other week but the seller didn't seem trustworthy and would provide pics.

I'm not sure what PS2 options there are now... but you could get a MadCatz SE or TE and add a PS2-compatible PCB to it. It would probably end up cheaper than trying to get an older HRAP shipped to you from Japan.
