They're worth much more than the US dollar. As of now 99.99 GBP would be 192.85 USD.

Not to mention how much you'll get molested on shipping charges for overseas transfer...

Im excited as after nearly 3 months on order they arrived. fortunately its only now ive reached the limits of my ability on softpads... I've unwrapped one and it seems ok so far. I won't be able to try them out until my lunch hour i think but we shall see.

More news as events warrant. Ill give a review, bearing in mind I can only compare them to the arcade EM2 nearby as Ive not played on any other metal/hard mats

PS, Im in the uk - got two pads for Â£179.46 including delivery. I blame logic3 for the delay...

well. I really like them.

Downsides:

1) the cable to the ps2 goes from the bottom right hand side of the pad outwards, not at the front. this makes putting them close together for double awkward, or if i wanted to make a divider too.

2) no edge around the outside (but then i knew that, Im personally not bothered)

3) the travel on each pad before they register seems a bit farther than the arcade

BUT i think they are ace except for one very real problem...

both pads have independantly had all their buttons stop responding (including the start + select on the side) halfway through songs. one pad did this once, the other about 5 or 6 times. Unplugging either end of the cable and reapplying it fixed it immediately - Ive sent an email to logic3 about this. if they dont offer anything satisfactory then I'll have to send them back asap while under mail order protection which is a pain.

I thought I read somewhere else about other pads cutting out midgame but I cant seem to find it to see if its a pad or ps2 problem. If you can help me on this I would be very grateful

I'm probably going to be getting one of these later this week. (unless i find a way of getting a CF or an Afterburner delivered to the UK for a decent price)

They look alright but i'm kinda concerned about what i've been hearing of the pads cutting out. Near enough every reveiw i've seen mentions problems with this.
I've also heard that it loses responsiveness pretty quickly after heavy use.

Though for the price (i've found one at Â£90) it seems like a pretty good deal.

I think i'll buy one this week and see how it goes.
If it breaks or acts up, i'll take it back and save up another Â£200+ to get an Afterburner delivered over here (postage actually costs more than the mat itself!).

If it works well for me, i'll save up for a second one so i can try my hand (well... feet) at doubles mode.

I'll let you know how i get on with it later this week.

Well, i finally got one

Managed to get the last one in the City, the only store i know that sells them (argos) had sold out in 3 out of 4 shops and wasn't restocking them again. I got the last one in the 4th shop so i'm pretty lucky to have it

It may not be the best one around but i LOVE it so far!

I've only had it for about 6 days now and it's showed no faults yet and that's after a LOT of heavy use!

With my old mat (The big ugly plastic one with circular buttons, i forgot what it's called) it was a big struggle to get through a lot of 8+ footer levels which i can normally do easily in the arcades.

With this mat, i can do a LOT better than i can in arcades!
The buttons sink a little more than the arcade mats but it's easy to get used to and i've actually found that they're more sensitive than any of the arcade machines around here.
This mat now allows me to get through most 9 footer levels pretty easily.

I've been working on getting through MAX300 on heavy for AGES now but i didn't stand a chance with it on my old mat, the buttons just weren't sensitive enough for it. I could only try it properly in arcades and VERY rarely passed it.

Within 2 days of getting this mat, i managed to get AA on it!

Then less that 4 minutes after, I followed that up with an A, even with dead legs.
I can also get AA on Sakura now which i could never do on my old mat.

I'm very happy with this mat and for just Â£90, i think it's definately worth the money.
I'll hopefully be getting a second one when i can afford it (and if they're still around over here) so i can try out doubles mode.
