PiL,

Get the cabinet and/or joysticks yo!

 

I can't promise that these low prices will stay, but right now, there are a small handful of custom Street Fighter IV cabinets (filled with genuine SFIV boards) available on eBay, starting at $650. UPDATE

These aren't some weird scam knock-offs. The Capcom-sanctioned cabinets...

So could I tell a difference between the two? In one word, yes.

Honestly, I'm not skilled enough at Street Fighter to argue that a controller is getting in my way of beating Matt Buchanan. But blindfolded, I could discern the difference between the two controllers...beyond the Tournament Edition's obvious heftier size.
