Limited Edition Madcatz FightSticks

Somebody at Madcatz sure likes orange or has an infatuation with all things Tic-Tac! The new orange-themed limited edition of the highly acclaimed Madcatz Tournament Edition Fightsticks have been released - and only available at Comic Con. Here's what a Madcatz rep had to say about the new theme:

"When we set out creating the Limited Edition artwork we knew that we had to create an impactful design that was radically different from the previous imagery and color schemes."

Dunno what about that screamed "ORANGE, SPLASH MORE ORANGE!" to the artwork designers at Madcatz, but I don't really think orange is that "radically different from the previous imagery and colour schemes". Radically different I would expect would be like a snakeskin, or glowing neon green or a Paris Hilton diamante encrusted theme (ala her signature Ninty DS), instead of a bright orange which is barely 50nm in wavelength away in the colour spectrum from the previous stick's crimson red, but whatever =p At least they made a damned good stick!

The bad news is that with only 500 of the stick made (250 for PS3 and another 250 for Xbox 360), us commoners have slim-to-none chance of picking up one of these limited editions, unless you're prepared to pay a seriously inflated price for one on eGay.

There's also limited edition joypads available with the new Tic-Tac orange colour scheme, but who cares! Those are only for chumps who only possess barely enough co-ordination for two fingers on each hand ;)
