People never got excited about Pelican accessories until their PS2 to PS3 converter hit store shelves, and now they are coveted items on eBay. I look forward to seeing what Mad Catz has in store for us!

It's good that arcade sticks are being released... let's just hope they're top-notch quality. I wonder what kind of RE5 accessory Mad Catz will come up with. I was thinking about getting that Pelican PS2 to PS3 converter at one point but apparently the controllers don't have rumble through it so I decided to pass on them.
Hey Masa, what system do you think you're getting SFIV for? If you don't have both systems you should take a look at this Stacker 2 contest going on where you can win a PS3 or Xbox 360... right now there are less than 250 entrants, and all you have to do is design a 6 Hour Power t-shirt (which is surprisingly easy to do online). Check out the contest details here: http://www.brickfish.com/Entertainment/Stacker2?tab=overview
By the way, I hope you don't mind me commenting on the site. I work with 6HP so let me know if you have any questions about the contest or their drink. Definitely let me know if you decide to enter, and I'll vote for your design. Same goes to any of the site's readers. Good luck if you decide to enter.
