Thats exactly what im planning to do. If i like it and am going to get one, is there something i have to watch out for? Like a certain brand thats recommended for example? Dont wanna end buying a crappy one lol
Dude i hate the xbox pad. Always makes me flip shit if i have to use it at a friends house. Its just sooo goddamn huge compared to the ps3 one.

If you're borrowing it from a friend, make sure he lets you keep it for a good long while. I switched to stick about two months ago and I can tell you it took me several weeks to feel fully comfortable with it. Also, expect to have to relearn absolutely every input again and I recommend you do not try to start with 2d fighters. The inputs are too complicated to begin with. Even something as simple as
is subtly different from playing on pad.Lastly, I really doubt you will like playing stick immediately. You will have to keep playing a lot to get used to it; not giving up when it's frustrating (believe me, it will be frustrating). Once you do get used to it, I guarantee you'll never go back to pad. Just playing on pad afterwords, you'll notice just how imprecise it is.

The Hori SoulCalibur V stick for Xbox 360 is only $90 on Newegg with free shipping right now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874179013
The PS3 version is $100: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16879994026
I believe this is exactly the same as the DOA5 stick in this thread with the exception of the artwork and button colors.
