I need a human M.U.L.E.

Anyone in the UK up for bringing a Competition Pro USB joystick (red flavour, of coz) to BITLite next week? The shops I've found either don't ship to mainland Europe, or charge a massive 8 quid postage. And that's just silly for a ten quid product. In return you will of coz receive cash compensation for the cost&shipping and the eternal grattitude of yours truly.

It's available from http://www.core-digital.co.uk/product_i ... cts_id=543 (as recommended by Kenz) or via eBay UK: http://tinyurl.com/775at

When I get things sorted out, I'll look into getting it for you.

Ah grand, but I'm just wondering; how does "when I get things sorted out" fit in with "bring it to Manchester next week"?

If only Waz didn't pick this week to be on holiday I could have bugged him for it, seing as I'm crashing at Zaw Towers for the weekend.

Well, hopefully, I'll be sorted for Monday... Or before then... And hopefully the delivery time is before Saturday next, lol

Oh goodie! =) I recall Kenz mentioning something about Core Digital having it his way in a day or so a while back, so that should be well doable.

Mind you, if Sod's law still has anything to say some Retrovisioner will prolly set up a shoppe(care to comment Mark?) and sell them over the counter at the event. If not, then I guess everyone will just have to make do with Chris' CDs and Bogs Sanxioned T-shirt. =)

If that's the case, then I'll order one on Monday, hell... I'm half-tempted to get one myself now!

I've been a victim of Sod's Law many a time. Anyway, I'm gonna have to order it/them on Monday to take into account it may take longer than a day to arrive, so if anyone is thinking of selling them, they'd better say so before Monday afternoon/evening.

Ive got the USB comp pro here, and I dont recommend it. although initial thoughts were this is great, the actual stick is a long way off from the original AND YOU CANT PLAY HYPER SPORTS WITH IT. Gah!
Its too slow.

Looks great on the computer table though, Id give it that.

I'm in a position to order it now if you still want it?

If you're getting it from Core Digital, sure thing.

StormKeeper · Post by **StormKeeper** » 06/09/2005 - 22:13

Right, I'll order it tomorrow then.

I've got two of them yesterday and I can't notice any delay, plays really well on winvice. The only notable difference to my original Competition Pro: the stick is rotatable, but that doesn't really bother me.

Looks like I can't order it today =/

Damnation. Forget about it then. I'll try my luck at it being available at Retrovision.

StormKeeper · Post by **StormKeeper** » 07/09/2005 - 9:18

I'm going to give it a try later on this afternoon and then that would be my last try.

StormKeeper · Post by **StormKeeper** » 07/09/2005 - 15:49

Success!

Anyway, it'll arrive within the next 2-5 days, it seems.
