Did everyone who preordered in person get their TEs from Gamestop?

Anyone else still haven’t heard anything?:rolleyes:

got my stuff friday. could not be happier.

got it.

I ordered mine jan 1st.
I recieved a call from them on the 10th about it being in.
I called due to knowing how gamestop f’s up a lot, and they said it wasn’t in they had no idea the calls were going out. to just call back every day and check, so i did for the next two days then got tired and stopped. then called on the 13th, and they said they had them for those that pre-ordered it came in the previous day, i told them i preordered it but they said they arent selling them until a day or two after SF IV comes out, I didn’t bother arguing and just said ok, they called me today and told me to go pick it up if i paid in full so i went today and got it and i’m using it now, no problems so far but i’ve only started to check it. :slight_smile: so I finally got my TE on 2/16. Hope you guys get yours as well. It’s awesome.

preordered FS:TE on 12/4. Paid off 1/24 .GS said it was shipped out last week …now they say March? I dont even want the game if I have to play on pad(wait ,yes i do I just wont play it yet)
Western ,Mass GS are retarded.

Went to my local gamestop and they told me they received and email saying early march. I called about a dozen gamestops in my area (northeast ohio) and just about half got there preorders and have been picked up. And the other half haven’t gotten anything. It really is a crapshoot at this point. I did happen to find a store that had an extra standard edition stick, so i jumped on that for the time being.

I too preordered mine west Massachusetts Gamestop, and mine too was seemingly delayed until March. Of course, that’s not a good thing. I’m still holding out hope that the letter was just some way to cover GS from any more complaints about not getting in their shipments on time, and that it is in fact coming this week, as many say. Regardless, this is depressing stuff. The prolonged wait in the dark is really not healthy for me.

Just got off the phone with the GS customer support and the guy says “I show it should be in the store today and they should have it. Hold on and I’ll call them”…holding, holding, holding…“They don’t have them, so all I can say is that they may have them within 48 hours.”

Best service ever and most informed customer rep I have ever dealt with!
/sarcasm off.

Yeah went today to see if my 360 TE stick was there. The PS3 TE stick that my friend ordered was there, but not mine. Not seeing it appear on any of the other emails either. Yeah fuck Gamestop and their incompetent/greedy asses.

I got mine last friday

i got mine today, they said they only got 2 in and i wasent the only preoder… so i dunno if that means some people got screwed (at least on that shipment) or if there was literaly only 1 more preorder. he may have also meant he only got 2 360 TEs but i dident even have to tell him which i wanted so i dident end up asking. and im in OR.

I work for GameStop (incoming negative rep), ordered mine in early December, and had it paid off the first week of January. I’ve pretty much experienced the same thing as most everyone else in this thread that hasn’t received theirs yet. My Store’s system first said it was shipping on the 10th to arrive the 11th, but it didn’t show. I had a customer I know who ordered his online through Gamestop.com come into the store and tell me he got an email saying his already shipped so I figured we would get ours at the store level by the end of the week. We then got an email on Thursday (12th) that said we would be receiving them “in the next few days.” On Friday (13th) night we got another email saying to disregard the “in the next few days” email and that we will be receiving our sticks sometime during “the first few WEEKS of March.”

I’m still hopeful they’ll show up in shipment tomorrow (17th). False hope is better than no hope at all, right?

Still no sign of my wayward TE in Metairie, LA. Its estimated time of arrival has gone from “by the time the game is out” to “possibly like a week after the game comes out.” Seems many of the surrounding Gamestops have received theirs, yet, oddly enough, the two in the major malls here have not. Just my luck, eh?

Still hoping against all odds for a miracle tomorrow. :wink:

I ordered from amazon.com

Both my TE stick and my SE stick are supposed to ship this Friday… so I dunno. hopefully they’ll be here BEFORE the estimated receive date. (Two Fridays from now…)

No. It’s not. False hope is bullshit when it comes down to money, misinformation, disorganization and digital whores calling a week or more before people see their supposed product. Gamestop fucking sucks. They are shipping extra TE’s to stores and people that didn’t preorder them are getting them before people that did. Now SF4 isnt even showing up until Wednesday? Fucking Toys R Us, Walmart, Target and 7-11 are getting it before the leading gaming chain in the country? I didn’t get a call from digital whore about SF4…

Tomorrow is refund time. I’ll just make another stick or two.

Still no luck getting mine in Jersey. Preordered in person and no luck…weak sauce

I’ve thought this one out a million times but the fact is I have a custom stick and a side project, I can wait so long as I get a perfect one. But holy shit, if I get a fucked up TE after being too patient with all this Bullshit…:annoy:

Yes, in many ways it does. I like my job though, and it puts food on my table. So there’s that.

I’m not sure why you have to wait until Wednesday to get the game though. On our weekly conference call plans were setup to have the game in-store by 9/10am on Tuesday. The Manager’s in my District are picking up their allotments personally from a local hub and driving them to their individual stores before the stores open. Maybe that plan isn’t set for all Districts.

I’ve thought about going the route of a refund as well. But I’m not entirely sure where I can go at this point and be guaranteed a prompt unit at a reasonable price (not ebay price gouging and such). I figure my safest bet is to just wait for my reserve and buy it at the employee discounted rate.

Who knows, maybe when we go pick up the game a few sticks will be waiting for us and a few more customers might get their sticks with the game. Here’s hoping.

LOL I am so damn impatient, and I’m still waiting. I have 2 Hori EX2’s each with 1 button missing so I do without forward kick. :rofl: I’m pretty irritated my store didn’t get it in, but I will wait it out for one of the coolest looking home arcade sticks on the face of the earth. So ya you can only imagine what it’s going to be like trying to play SF IV with a button missing pretty sucky!

My Gamestop said they received ps3 guitars instead of ps3 arcade sticks…So anyways they told me to keep calling every day after March 1st.

I had to go to my mom’s (about 45 mins away) yesterday for my lil bro’s first high school baseball game. Anyways, I stopped in on the Gamestop there just to see what their TE situation was like. The guy told me that all of theirs were pre-orders and were filled last week. I told him about what was going on at the store I ordered from. (didn’t arrive last week, told me this week etc) He said that they should be in, but I take it with a grain of salt. While I was at the game later on the guy that works at the GS I shop in called to tell me SFIV was gonna be there Tuesday morning early. I didn’t ask about the stick, mainly cause I didn’t want to hear no it isn’t in again. So I guess later today I’ll find out what the deal is on mine. I won’t mind too much if it isn’t in, I’m just ready to put the pad down more than anything else.
