Too many people are buying more than one to resell’em. The price is getting lower online and stores keep restocking on them. I just saw both XBOX and PS3 TE sticks at Gamestop in Glendale.
fry’s sunnyvale, CA
about 6 x360 madcatz se and 10-15 ps3 se’s
Play-Asia.com has the White Amazon-Japan HRAP 3’s back in stock for PS3. $149
Regular HRAP3’s are $99.99 there and are on back-order…
These prices do not include shipping.
Just in case anyone wanted to know.
Official:
All Fry’s Electronics in SoCal have re-stocked today.
I called a couple near LA and they both told me they received a new shipment in today, so I called my local one that’s right down the street, and they as well received a new shipment.
5 TEs, and like 20 SEs. (for 360) I didn’t ask for PS3 stock.
I then alerted my friend in Long Beach and he as well said his Frys was re-stocked today.
It seems like SoCal retailers should be receiving shipments soon, keep calling them up.
And 2 think think it only took 3 months. I’m kinda mad at myself for paying 130 for a SE now. Even though it stood up too all my punishment. And since it was my 1st stick I was really eager to learn how to use one ASAP. And after all of that. My xbox gets the Red rings. :sad::sad::sad:
Shipping is like $50-$70 if I am not mistaken. :looney:
How is it possible that Gameshark still has CEs for both 360 and PS3? They’ve been instock since Wednesday.
where can i get a TE for australia? gameseek.co.uk doesnt ship to Australia and all stockists in Australia cant even tell you when they are getting in stock. any other australians help me out on where to get one ??
As Prince mentioned before, Gamesmen are taking preorders:
XBOX - http://www.gamesmen.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=68_231&products_id=23229
PS3 - http://www.gamesmen.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=43_230&products_id=23228
I’ve given up trying to get it overseas, tried ordering from gamesbuyer.co.uk (who did not have delivery restrictions) but they cancelled my order because it would have cost them 70 pounds to ship it here. Another place in the US that was willing to send it was going to cost USD$85 or so just for shipping.
sais above due mid august ? so may not get it for another 2 months or more ? and cant get it anywhere else in australia…
There were a 360 SE and a TE (forgot which console that it’s for didn’t look properly) in the gamestation near a Mc Donalds in Derby (going down past waterstones where Game used to be) at around 12:00, dunno if they are still there but it can’t do any harm posting this up.
In norway SE sticks are 120 bucks, TE sticks are 210 
and thats from stores.
Online we cant buy anything over 30 bucks overseas. then we get a fee from the post or whatever. 20 bucks.
- 25% Mva of the total price witch goes to the state or whatever. so What you end up with is more then what the store offers
…
its a lot… and i live in a shitty land with polar bears and eskimos. haha.
A quick heads up for anyone living in the Bay Area (Norther California)… I understand that the 360 and PS3 Madcatz stick are rare right? Well, I work at the Sunnyvale Fry’s Electronics and they have a TON of 360 and PS3 madcatz in stock for $69.99 and I managed to buy a PS3 one. Not to mention I used my employee discount and it was only $56. 92 (saved $17.89) ^_^. I’m not sure about the other Fry’s store, but I can check and I will post back once I’m out of work.
SE sticks for both systems are in stock on gameshark
That easily your best bet on getting one, I’ve asked EVERYWHERE and some places don’t have any idea what I’m talking about. EB are only getting PS3 TE sticks in for some reason and they don’t know when, so I’d say this is the most reliable for people buying inside Aus.
Just ordered mine from there, its going to be a bloody long 2 months…
i have a ps3 so will find out from eb whats what. if not ill do the wait aswell and get one from there
various gamestops around NJ have SE sticks for both systems in. matawan and middletown definitly had them.
A store in Manhattan, NY called JandL has a few TE and SE for ps3. They told me they should get a few 360 TE as well. But the price their asking for is $245 from the last time which was last week. Its located on Elizabeth between bayard st and canal st.
2 Madcatz Tournament Edition sticks ($150) at the Sunnyvale Fry’s Electronics and 1 at Palo Alto’s.
