One FightStick’s (hopefully) bloated price not a bad thing

OK. Here it goes. If you are really desperate for a Mad Catz Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition FightStick, live in the UK, hate using Amazon or eBay, and possess a heavy heart, then Capcom Europe has the auction for you.

Capcom Europe and Dave White — creator of a splendid Ryu one-off ink drawing — have paired to customize the pictured above Street Fighter IV Tournament FightStick. It’s sleek, autographed, and we’re told via press release, unique.

Also, there’s a chance chicks will dig it.

If you’re up for bidding on the stick, toss an e-mail with an amount to iheartdavewhite [at] capcomeuro.com before the June 16 deadline. After the deadline, Capcom will e-mail the highest bidder and the proceeds will go to Shelter, a charity organization whose goal is to end homelessness and severe housing issues across the UK.

It’s a beautiful stick for a worthy cause. You can’t beat positive videogame-related publicity. Well, we guess you could if you played enough Grand Theft Auto. That game teaches you … things.
