the game is freggin PHAT, but 150 is too much for a controller youll use on one game, + the fact that PS2's will probably come down in coming weeks

What do you think guys?

That thing look pretty stupid to me... I really can't picture myself playing with that thing. Plus, it must be really ankward to use IMO.

I have one (Japanese version is cheaper by around US$20).
Using it as a normal controller can be awkward, but using it as a sword controller (as in swinging it like a sword) is pretty good.
It's not that hard to use as a sword controller, I can do critical attacks (issen) with it.
Definitely need more games that support it to be worth that price tag though.

if it's something that released in limited numbers it could go up in value by a good amount in the future.


or not, sometimes it's hard to tell with these things.
