    My fight stick recently broke so I am in the market for a new one. I currently play SFIV on PS3, however the online community for PS3 seems to have shrunk and the connections are not great. My next fight stick will be a commitment to PS3 or 360. What platform should I commit to?

    I would say 360 cause the community isn't shrinking. And are you getting a regular stick or a tournament edition.

    according to justin wong the ps3 version lags. however supposedly the ps3 players are better at fighting games. but you can hook up the te sfiv arcade stick to a pc. do you go to any local play sessions? I do, and everyone else there uses 360 so it's an obvious choice for me

    You can use the PS3 sticks on a PC in case you get nostalgic and want to play other past fighters with friends. If the 360 stick can do that too there would be no difference then. Also, SSF4 is coming up so I'm pretty sure it will invigorate the community again.

    @Linkyshinks: Do you use a Hori? I use a modded SE, but I was thinking of wasting even more cash on another stick. What are your opinions on it?

    I got both the hori and the TE stick for ps3. TE is definitely better, but Hori is good too. 
     
    The  nice thing is they both work on the computer, I leave the Hori as my computer main and the TE as my SF4 main.

    I recommend the TE for 360. I also have the Hori EX2, but the a couple of the buttons don't feel as responsive for some reason. :(

    We all know that the ps3 version issues, Justin Wong is not the first to point it out. I was more curious about you saying the ps3 has better players...where the hell did that come from? Shit, I played Sabin yesterday in championship mode!!

    I'd suggest a TE for the 360, the stick itself is rock solid and you'll find more online gamers on Xbox Live.

    Most players are on 360, I think that's a given. This goes for tournament level players as well, we can make a silly list comparing the two if you really want to go there.

    it can. the appeal people get when choosing sticks is that a PC stick can work on a PS3 with little to no trouble while its impossible for a PC designed stick to work on a 360.
