But as useful as those guides are, I wasn't interested in building a pair (tried that awhile ago...ergh) I was just curious if anyone had one for sale to buy, I'm assuming I'd be in the right (if not only) place that would have such a thing, I recognize that those beauties no one would probably sell, but it was worth a try
Ah, I see. Well, I was suggesting building your own since they are rare, and actually I've only ever seen a couple besides mine.
I've only seen one or two of these (it might have been the same guy), modded for DC, for sale... ever. They were on Yahoo! Japan Auctions, IIRC priced at ¥50,000 (they didn't sell). That price was somewhat high if everything was used, even factoring in labor. A used HSS-0130 is about ¥12,000, DC Twin Sticks ¥8,000 (just for the PCB), and a used control panel with everything working and with harnesses is ¥10,000+. Nowadays the pricing would be somewhat higher for Xbox 360... the control panel might go for upwards of ¥20,000, and a pre-modded control pad with compatible harness is probably close to ¥10,000. Note that all prices are without shipping.
Really the only realistic option is to try obtaining the various parts and assembling it, or providing the parts to someone to assemble (though the only difficult assembly step is modding a controller PCB to be compatible, the rest mostly just fits together). The hardest part of course is finding the parts.
) so it's hard to find at a store, and it's not available online. When I bought mine, it was the last one they had.
