I was directed here for the question so ill go ahead and ask.

For an Arcade stick newbie like myself, what is a good introduction stick to get for ps3? Where would my money be best spent? Do i really need Sanwa parts if im new to the hobby...etc

I bought a 6 button Hori stick for ~$50 because I was just getting into it and didn't want to drop the $130-$150 for a TE stick. Now I am going to be buying a TE stick. Total cost: ~$200. I could've saved myself the $50.

You can say this about any video game/toy.

speaking of Mario cart, is there any kind "scene" for racing videogames?

There's a scene for racing games somewhere in Nevada and a tournament at Universal Studios in Hollywood.

I'm looking to buy a qanba r4 from nikingstore.com. I haven't bought anything reasonably big online in a while, but is 72 dollars really a reasonable price for shipping?

That seems excessive to me. As far as I can tell, q4 sticks are only available through smaller retailers. Smaller retailers tend to have higher shipping costs.

I looked at a few sites. nikingstore.com lists at $125.99 but charges $72 shipping. play-asia.com lists at $139.90 but also charges $72. eightarc.com lists at $149.99 and charges $20 shipping. I figured all of the shipping to my house in the US.

The places that list at a lower price to attract customers are likely passing on some of that lower list price in the form of higher shipping costs. Looks like the best deal is at eightarc.
