You can fix the 360 d-pad yourself; all it takes is the right screwdriver and some sandpaper. Personally I use a SFIV Fightpad, which works just fine. Those who are truly serious about fighting games have several quality arcade sticks to choose from. It's a minor issue for some casual players of fighting games, but most of them will be just fine using the analog stick.
I'm not gonna complain about the reviewer, though - obviously the horrible stock d-pad mattered to him. I'll never understand how that d-pad made it through Microsoft's testing, or why they never bothered to fix the problem.
