For those who are wondering what “Delivered” means is another way of saying “shipped”.

Alex_Smith · 2011-05-10T08:33:01.000Z

I am trying to be patient about the PS360+ news, but April is long gone and there has been no mention of it. So what’s good, TRNG? Please let us know, if you can.

Well, a little but not much, and that is not the point either. I am not going to be millionaire on this and I am not shooting for it either. Those who want freshparts directly from the partsmaker shipped directly to the customer choose akihabarashop.com.
Actually shipping and bankfee`s for me alone is:

Shipping from Sanwa to our location: 441yen
Banktransfer fee from japanesebankaccount to Sanwa bankaccount: 420yen

Shipping fromSeimitsu to our location: 750yen
Banktransfer fee from japanesebankaccount to Seimitsu bankaccount: 700yen

So total here in banktransfer is=2311yen
+5% I have to pay my friend for PayPal fee`s.

Also we pack it, ship it, update statuspage, take individual orderpics…it takes time but I am willing to do it as long as it is fun.

Gotta commend Per on the hard work he puts into Akishop each day. From newfound personal experience as a parts retailer, I can relate on how tough it is to keep up with orders, ship as quickly as possible, expenses related to acquiring product, shipping to retail, then packing and shipping to deserving customers. No one is getting rich off just arcade parts, especially those buttons. lol

Again, as much as it’s a business, it also has to remain pleasurable otherwise it’s not worth doing. There’s the arcade scene and Mame scene as well to do business in. Props to Akishop for repping the fighting game community by sharing his business with all of us.

TheRealNeoGeo,

I’m looking for a 2player control panel for the Namco Noir (aka Tekken 6 cabinet). Can you help?

I too am itching for one of these PS360+ boards :wgrin:

LJAFX · 2011-05-13T00:58:25.000Z

Akihabarashop is awesome! All of my emails were replied to quickly, and the shipping was quick. My order was postmarked on the 6th(fri) and I got it on the 10th(teus)! Air Mail not EMS! In my experience, ems is not much quicker than air mail, but this may only apply to hawaii/west coast.

Truegamer · 2011-05-13T04:02:42.000Z

How have you preordered? I can’t find any preorder info on the website?

tekkenshu7 · 2011-05-13T14:51:27.000Z

Maybe TRNG is super busy with his day job? (or is Akishop his dayjob?)
It is weird as he takes very long time to update things in his website and in forums.

Anyway, Akishop - ganbare yo!
I will be building a new stick once you get PS360+ out.

Probably through Focus Attack. The ship date that is mentioned on the site is only anticipated, and we are all still waiting on information about the board, however. Focus Attack is very good, though! One of the prime places for ordering parts, as I see it.

Any plans on restocking the ChImp SMD ?

Toodles posted this in the Chimp/Cthulhu in regards to LizardLick being out:

Toodles:

LL is out of stock because I’m out of stock. ChimpSMDs are going to be out for a few weeks at least. I had a large order all made and they arrived a little over a week ago, but they ended up using some counterfeit 4066 chips, and they just flat don’t work proper. I’m sending them back to be fixed, and we’ll both be out of them until the fixed ones return.

I’d imagine that is also why Akishop is out of stock.

tekkenshu7 · 2011-05-16T07:13:53.000Z

Maybe Toodles’ contractor/PCB manufacturer is the same with TRNG’s? Maybe that’s why MCCs and ChImps are out of stock and PS360+ was delayed because of a sub-par IC used on both of their stuff.

arcadestiq · 2011-05-16T19:35:05.000Z

That’s seriously some bad news for me :’( Hope it gets restocked in a week’s time

Thanks, blueNINE. We’re anticipating the feature list and more accurate release date for the PS360+ as you are. Per reassures us that the feature list is coming, and apologizes for the delays. Once I have a release/delivery date for the PS360+, I’ll announce it on my SRK thread as well.

kubebot · 2011-05-17T04:03:23.000Z

Are the features not being announced because they’re still being ironed out? I imagine that would be the only reason.

It looks like akishop have some really HUGE PS-14-K in stock LOL

tekkenshu7 · 2011-05-17T16:06:36.000Z

^lol to that

Another probable reason PS360+ is being delayed is that Per might be waiting for Neutriks to arrive so he can stock up. I think he wants to package Neutriks with the PS360+'s.

AOS · 2011-05-17T22:26:45.000Z

Order Shipped on the 23rd of April, arrives today. A week later than expected. I thought it was lost and so I had placed an order at focusattack.com just yesterday.
