My PS2 is broken, but I'm probably about to go buy another one today. Fucking Chipp player omg. As long as you have a way to get in contact with Kobe we can play sometime this week. What day do you want to play? You will be spending at least $140 on a stick no matter what, but you will most likely spend $170. Just play pad, you don't HAVE to play stick unless you want to.
Edit.... Or we could just use Alex's PS2......
Also I could sell you my stick I just got for $150, mainly because I do not like the damn faceplate on it. You should check srk first though for sticks to buy.
