2012 Holiday Gift Guide: The 5 Best Arcade Sticks

HORI Fighting EDGE

Price: $200
Compatible platforms: PS3 and Xbox 360
Bearing a weight of eight pounds and foot-by-foot base—it’s safe to call Hori’s offering the beast of all fighting sticks. Now this stick uses Seimitsu arcade parts, which have been claimed to send data faster. The EDGE also includes a touch panel located to the right of the control scheme where the start and select buttons are, as well as a button that locks the fighting stick into “tournament mode” when the panel and PS button are disabled: preventing accidental presses during battles. Siiick!
