I just bought two from them two weeks ago and those pads are brand new

word up, i hope i have the same luck... i just ordered two controllers myself.
normally i wouldn't order from a place like this... but i took a chance based on your recommendation.

thanks for the link! i tried searching the site for other items... but the search sucked and so did the menus.

I found TurboExpress ($240).
And 2 HuCard games (Jack Nicklaus and something else... overpriced... but if they are brand new I guess it isn't too bad).

How did you find the DUO pads, anyway? Did I miss an obvious category somewhere?

I just ordered two controllers myself. All I own personally is one regular Duo pad and an NEC avenue pad plus a white PC engine Duo Tap (which works fine with my US Duo) so I can use the extra controllers.

Added in edit: Not that I need it but I found a Duo Tap on their site
http://www.gameexpress.com/product_detail.cfm?UPC=092218000026 though the picture is of a Turbo Tap.

thanks dan. i sent them a follow-up note to add the duo tap ($7 is nice) to my order. I also asked them to provide info on any and all TG-16 / DUO / PCE items... I guess I'll hear from them next week.

i have repaired tons of turbo pads over the years (usually just cleaning the contacts and removing gunk does the trick)... but I decided treat myself to some new pads for once.

i personally prefer Hori fighting commanderPC pad for PCE.

^ as do I! I'll send you $11.99 for commanderPC and $11.99 for AVE 6 pads first thing tomorrow. How much will shipping be?

he he sorry none for sale mate... :p
these are the ones i'm using as you can see from my dirty finger prints all over them...

The Hori pad looks nice, the Avenue pad 6 that I have has kind of a loose directional pad, it works but because it's somewhat flimsy compared to the standard Duo Pad.

Very nice deal there... I tried hard to resist, but could do it, put in an order for 2 controllers and a duo tap.

Just too sweet of a deal.

I've ordered from Gamexpress before and I have no problem with them.

I just typed Duo in the search and found the pad

Just thought you guys might interest in new Duo controller

esteban · « **Reply #10 on:** April 20, 2005, 12:40:31 PM »

thanks Liquid Snake. My order (2 controllers) has already shipped and should be here in a few days. I haven't had new controllers in.... forever!

the only sucky thing: I emailed them twice about expanding my order (to include turbotap)... but they never responded and just shipped my order.

Yeah I bought a new controller from them last year. They were selling Dynastic Hero there but it was sold out. I bet it was going for a normal price too but some hardcore fan snatched it while he could. I was hoping I'd be that person since a lot of people don't go to that site it seems.

holy smack, you would have been lucky as hell! I wanted this game when it came out and I've never wanted to pay $50 for it.... so I kept putting off until "it got cheap". Boy, that was stupid.

I have the Japanese one, however. I had a CD-R of the US version and the strange thing was that I had a saved game from the CD-R and when I played the Japanese one, I could load my game and the text was in Japanese. Interesting. One difference between the US and JP version is that they have different vocal songs in the openings, I thought you might be interested for your site

My controllers were shipped on Monday and was supposed to arrive on Wenesday, but... it didn't and the tracking hasn't been updated since Monday when it left New Jersey. FedEx is just terrible.
