A few months back EB Games' website accidentally leaked information about an arcade stick for the Xbox 360. Due to some production hiccups we should finally have the Arcade GameStick next month. The joystick will include Xbox Live Arcade games Frogger, Time Pilot and Astropop. The joystick includes all the buttons found on the Xbox 360 controller, including the rumble feature and it can connect through USB to a PC. The MSRP is $49.99 USD.

It's about time this thing comes out. Playing a lot of the classic games on Xbox Live feels horribly awkward because the games were designed in a time pre-thumbsticks -- five minutes with Street Fighter II makes that abundantly clear. Now as long as the thing is made well and we can bang our joystick around like in the good old days without it snapping off, we'll be quite happy -- 'cause nobody likes to see their joystick snap off.

It just looks too cramped to me.

yes it does, and with four buttons in front and the other two button not there really doesn't give it a assuring feel. hopefully this is just a concept and not the real deal.

I'll get it to play Halo on.
