The feel is just different when you're playing what was originally an arcade game using a gamepad-controlled console. If you're a gamer looking for that authentic arcade analog stick experience, then you might want to take a gander at the Mad Catz Arcade GameStick for Xbox 360.

The Mad Catz Arcade GameStick for Xbox 360 - which is officially licensed by Microsoft - gives gamers the best possible experience for the Xbox Live Arcade. Its sleek design compliments the Xbox 360 console perfectly, and since the joystick and thumbstick are interchangeable, the design also makes the Mad Catz ArcadeStick perfect for both right- and left-handed gamers.

The ArcadeStick also has full 360° spinner control, giving gamers the ability to play dedicated spinner gamers. It's fully compatible with PC USB, works with all Xbox 360 games, and comes with a two-year warranty. To further sweeten the deal, it also includes a free Xbox Live Gold Trial membership and online redemption codes for three Full Version Xbox Live Arcade games (Frogger, Timepilot, and Astropop).

The Mad Catz Arcade GameStick is scheduled for release on December 5 according to EB Games, carrying with it a price tag of US$ 59.99. Check out the images below to see it in all its glory.
