Playing fighting games on a controller is bad enough to begin with, but the Xbox 360 controller's lousy d-pad has been giving hardcore fans of the genre headaches since the console released. It's terrible.

Thankfully, Arcade-in-a-box has heard the screams of frustration, and has come up with an answer. As of now, they are offering Xbox 360 owners authentic single and dual-player arcade sticks. At $149 for the bare bones version, they're pricey, but hardcore fighting fans will probably agree that its a small price for online dominance once Virtua Fighter 5 hits.
