Mad Catz’s line of Xbox 360 Street Fighter IV fight pad controllers, regularly priced at $40, can now be had for only $20 at eStarland.com. Until July 20th, if you enter the promo code “360FIGHT” when purchasing one of the four available fight pads, the price will be slashed in half.
If you want a better fighting game experience but can’t afford one of the high-end arcade sticks, the fight pads are a great option, more so at this low price. They are wired, but the improved D-pad is totally worth paying for. It’s also great for 2D XBLA titles like Bionic Commando Rearmed and Mega Man 9 and 10 — games that, to me, don’t play so well with the crummy D-pad on the standard 360 controller.
These are the available fight pads:
Ryu Fight Pad
Ken Fight Pad
Akuma Fight Pad
Chun-Li Fight Pad

How come this offer is only for 360 owners? 🙁
I wanted to get one for my ps3..
Do you know if this controller will be $20 for the PS3?
I’m not sure, it’s up to eStarland. I guess their stock only allowed for the 360 pads. I’d prefer a PS3 one myself.
Actually, searching around eStarland already has their PS3 fight pads marked down to $25-27.
