Are these really our only options?

When it comes to arcade sticks for the XBOX 360, there are only two options, the Hori DOA4 arcade stick which is too small to be effective and has a short joystick, and the $165 Arcade-in-a-box stick. Given that fighting games are finally making a comeback, I find that the new Street Fighter games are nearly unplayable due to the 360 controller. Using the left bumper for a hard punch simply isn't the most efficient of ways to attack and Microsoft should create a peripheral for the XBOX 360 that is an affordable and efficient arcade stick.

I'm not entirely sure why Microsoft didn't get into this market themselves back in 2005, but we, the players are certainly suffering for that decision now.
