The card went through and it was charged last night, I received a confirmation e-mail it had been charged, then this morning it was cancelled and got another e-mail telling me my order had been cancelled. so they ran out of stock. Hell, they even deactivated the item on newegg so i think it’d be a waste of time
Amazon has the SE sticks in stock. PS3 only it seems
Amazon had 360 CE sticks for about 5 minutes.
Tournament edition sticks in stock at gameshark.

If I was willing to spend 200, I would’ve gotten one on eBay already. What a tease this WiiAlert was.
lol, sorry. I had a chance last week to buy this, but I passed as I don’t care for the extras either.
My phone went off, cause I have it set up with WiiAlerts, and I thought this was gonna be my chance.
Unfortunately for me, being a pretty broke college kid, 150 is pushing it. So, 200 just isn’t do-able for me. I guess if I had the money I’d get the bundle and let the rest of the stuff that comes with it collect dust. Of course, I’d have probably overpaid for one of the eBay ones back in February if that were the case
If you guys have a frys electronic near you go there, and they will have like 50 to 100 in stock. The best part about it is you pay retail price at $149.99 plus taxes and you get to bring it home the same day.
Frys isn’t gonna cut it, I live in South Carolina. :\
fry’s
I called every Fry’s in the bay area and none of them have the TE.
just check frys in sacramento, nothing.
Got my TE (190.00 FLAT) and 2 Se’s ( 80.00 FLAT a peice ) today for my lil bros. the TE = ORGASMIC! so fun to play. Keep your head in there and you will find something. I got all 3 sticks off of Craigslist, when you think about it, you spend so much time and energy looking to get them for 150.00 with or without shipping, you could be spending that time doing things that are so much more productive!
For anyone without wii alerts, 360 TEs at Best Buy.
Don’t know about other sticks. I honestly didn’t look because I was too busy checking out my order.
Edit: Wow… it’s already sold out. Lmao.
Keep checking the usual places online, guys.
HRAP 3’s are coming back in-stock to a lot of places by mid-June.
In addition to the standard black HRAP 3’s, some places are also getting restock on the Amazon-Japan exclusive White HRAP 3 but expect to pay at least $50 more for the white casing! You might be better off just spraying the black case white to save some cash if you need a white case that badly…
(I’m a nut and went ahead and pre-ordered the White HRAP 3. I’m going whole-hog on that one AND putting in faceplate art in addition to sticking in new buttons and a red ball-handle. I guess I’ll spray-paint T5 cases any day of the week but won’t do this to the upper grade Hori’s!
(Yeah, it doesn’t make any sense to me, either, but most of us are crazy in our own ways…)
As for the MadCatz sticks, they’re starting to show up all over the place again but selling out as quickly as they pop up. Online is probably still a better shot at scoring a TE stick if you want since they generally sell out the same day they show up in-store. The good news is that the online prices on the MadCatz sticks ARE starting to fall back to MSRP. The days of “minimal” $50 surcharges and $100-$150 gouging seem to be ending. People that still want these sticks for MSRP can breathe a sigh of relief for that!
The bad news for Hori stick enthusiasts is that some importers are reporting that pre-orders for the HRAP 3’s and their licensed variants (BlazBlue, etc.) are likely NOT to be fully filled. One importer said they were lucky to get about 30% of what they wanted to stock filled! Either Hori is cutting way back production for the domestic US market because of the MadCatz sticks’ popularity or there really is that much international demand for sticks in general, period.
Either MadCatz or Hori (upper grade editions) are excellent sticks. With Sanwa parts, the feel is virtually the same although I think the MadCatz Sanwa JLF sits a bit lower than it does in the Hori. It’s not just the base. The distance from the ballhandle to the faceplate does feel and IS physically shorter than the same stick in the HRAP casing. It really doesn’t make much difference in how the stick feels, though. I switch back and forth between both varieties and frankly either is a great tournament stick – provided they’re Sanwa or Seimitsu graded. I would never go back to stock buttons… or most stock sticks.
Does anybody want my new PS3 TE stick for $200 flat?
I stay in South Carolina to. :bgrin:
Anyways guys buy.com has TE sticks in stock. They say sold out but if you order them they will ship it out. As long as you are able to “add to cart” they should be in stock.

how sure are you?
I’ve never seen a single TE stick at Frys in Duluth, GA.
that info is not accurate. I added 360 TE to my cart while “in stock” and ithey never sent it so i cancelled. said it was back ordered
