YESASIA will no longer be selling IIDX controllers..... >_<
I e-mailed Yesasia asking when (and if) they'll ever restock their IIDX Controllers, and they finally replied to me today. This is what they said:
Dear Customer,
Referring to your email dated 28 September, we are sorry to inform you that
all items marked "Out of Stock" are no longer available. We have received
confirmation from our suppliers that they have discontinued the production
of this item.
So there you have it. No longer do we have a nice cheap place to get IIDX controllers. Looks like it's 100+ no matter what from now on.... _________________

Yeah, cause we all know $123.30 (with standard EMS shipping) is ALOT cheaper than $85 (free shipping at Yesasia)
Sure, 79.95 is an awesome price for one. But you gotta figure in SHIPPING. That's why Yesasia was great - they offered free shipping. Sure, it was slow, but it gave you a DAMN nice price for a IIDX controller  _________________

Well, I'm here to save the day for all of you. www.gamebaz.com is IIDX controller for around $80 bucks all the time. They range from $77.99-82.99 depends on the day pretty much. They are from Hong Kong and shipping is $10 dollars. I got my IIDX 4th Style from them less than a month ago. Highly recommended, super friendly, quick response for e-mails and everything. Any other questions just ask. |

I didn't use EMS shipping, i just used basic shipping without a tracking number and it took 7 days to get here in michigan. I look at it like if you can wait a few extra days to save a few extra dollars why not. |

Where are you getting this 10 dollar shipping from?
The lowest shipping Gamebaz is offering brings the price to 115. That's the "Air Parcel - USA/Puero Rico" shipping method. ALL the other shipping methods bring the price to AT LEAST 125. _________________

(btw I already got my IIDX controller, so this is just to inform people)
Ok, I e-mailed Gamebaz about shipping, and here's what they sent me:
jeffrey@compert.com wrote: | Dear Friend,
Thanks for your e-mail below. =)
The controller's weight fall into the 2.5kg interval. The cheapest way to ship the item to USA is via insured air parcel, which is about US$35. Based on our records, we have nevered ship the BM IIDX controller with shipping charge of US$10, was he / she (they're referring to Hellacious, whom I told them got it for $10 shipping) referring to a PS2 game? |
So that $10 might have been an error by Gamebaz or something, Hella. Or maybe, as they said in their e-mail, you might have been confusing that with the shipping charge of your 4th Style.
Either way, I guess with the end of Yesasia's stock, there's no more places to get IIDX controllers for under $100. Although I got mine for a clean $115 from TGA without having to wait for it in the mail  _________________

Awesomness, I e-mailed them about if they had the IIDX controller in-stock. Cause I had to contact them for availability, along with many other games on the site.
Just asking cause I haven't recieved an e-mail back yet.
Thanks again though, puts me at a bit of ease. Since my 5th Style came in the mail today. So I'm itching to play! |

Do the beatmania, drummania, and guitar freaks controllers work on the pc emulators as long as you have a psx to usb adapter? |

I'm thinking about getting Guitar Freaks and Drummania soon, but for Guitar Freaks, which controller is better? The preowned Konami one an Toysnjoys or the 3rd party one at RedOctane. This question or related ones have problably been asked a million times...so don't I feel dumb. _________________

wow i didnt know IIDX controllers were so expensive still. I thought the 6900 yen(about $63) for a new one at yodobashi camera was too expensive! _________________

This has probably been asked before, how good (compared to the Konami controllers) are the 3rd party controllers for Drummania and Guitar Freaks?

How exactly do you mod up a IIDX controller? I know insert some type of spacer under the key to make it more responsive, but how do you go about doing that? |
