I got mine here in Denver, which I pre-order at 6pm the last day they were taking pre-orders 1/12/09 I think, I was the only one who pre-order.
I also got my gs.com pre-order from December 18.
So I am all set just waiting for the game now.

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

Ya. If I worked retail, I would work at some place like GS. At least the product is interesting. And none of this is the employee’s fault that work in B&M’s. More upset with the disorganization of upper management with how things are handled. Especially in this crap economy.
No idea. The manager at my GS I go to says that the games are being shipped to them today, and will be in tomorrow (Wed).
I hear ya man. I’m obviously not hurting for a stick, I am just upset at how things are being handled by GS as if it is standard protocol, and the customer should sit back idly and accept the way they are handling things. But ya. Sitting on it for a while, I may as well keep the preorder since I already ordered a ton of stuff to mod it out and had a friend spend some time working on some artwork for it.
I used to work for Gamestop… it pays the bills when they don’t put money on that stupid card!
Hehe. Direct deposit FTW.
Anyhoo, I got a call from my local GS yesterday saying my TE stick was in stock so naturally I took my time (made the half hour drive in 15 minutes, heh). When I got there I was shocked because it turned out I was the ONLY one that had ordered one from this particular GS.
Long story short: they should be arriving at stores now (if not already, 'cause I’m in MA)
yessir! picked up my te stick pre-ordered 12/2008. feel so relieved especially after shortage hoopla going around
didn’t receive a call though and i gave gamestop employees $h** for that. all they said was they were starting to making calls @ 6pm WEEEAAAKKK
very fortunate regardless so WOO HOO
So apparently, even though i preordered my TE sticks BEFORE january, it’s looking like i might not get them. I’m waiting until the end of the week, but the girl said she’d give me a full refund for them. At which point i’ll probably never buy another thing from GS, or from Madcatz. Seriously, they both need to get their acts together.
I’m with you on that, dav3yb. No SF4 still, and definitely no TE stick.
I preorderd on the 27th of December. I still have not gotten my stick. I preorder SFIV, I just called them and they are gave me the run around. WTF? I am going to have to walk into that store, doped up on nyquil cause if they dont have my stuff by the time I get there from work, I fear I am gonna break some GS employee bones.
GOT MY STICK! YAY! Perfect condition, looks like the manager was right. Oh to the guy said I wouldn’t get it today, HA!
I got mine yesterday (2/16/2009). I have come to find that I was the only one that reserved it at the mall that has a GAmestop and a Planet X. I feel special! Stick is awesome btw guys…is it worth 150?..maybe…but I think if I wouldve known that the SE was heavy…I wouldve just modded that and called it a day
There is a very large box missing from this picture. I was assured by the guy there that they would arrive this week and to start calling back tomorrow. Oh well, I guess the email stating that most of the pre-orders would be filled this week is true. I just have to drive back down there when it arrives.

I preordered the PS3 TE stick back in November at a Gamestop in Anaheim. I still haven’t received Ashley’s call yet, so I went to the gamestop to see if my my stick was there yet. They said to check back tomorrow because they did not receive the stick today. They have the pads, but not my stick.
Called my GS re my preorders:
SF4 Collector’s Edition is there.
TE Stick is NOT, I’m holding out hope that they will have it by 5 PM today but I wouldn’t bet on it…
Both items are paid in full.
Ah well, my PS3 is dead and in Texas being serviced right now anyway. This is kinda full circle for me though as when I first bought SF2 for SNES, I didn’t own a SNES at the time. Now that I have SF4, my PS3 is gone, so weird…
I got my PS3 version, but still no XBOX 360 version of it. GAYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Despite being told I’d have to wait until the first week of March, I got my PS3 TE stick today and it’s in pristine condition. However, apparently my GS store only got XBOX360 copies of the game (and I’m hearing it has affected at least three other stores in the city), so I have to wait at least another day to play it. Tried out the stick with STHD and ggpo though and it plays wonderfully.
My store has the pads and the SE Sticks, but not the TE sticks yet.
I hope I get my stick sometime this decade. :<
just got me te’s from b&m gamestop
no te from my gs yet
Don’t have mine neither even though every other gs around me got there’s.
I hope who ever distributed these stick learn how to do it better and
I hope I get my shit tomorrow, I picked up my game today. My life here on the air force base if my te stick would get here tomorrow would be so much easier in San antonio, tx. Dammit!
Not yet in Thousand Oaks.
Called Gamestop a few days ago, they told me I’d get a call when they received it.
I went by today because I was in the area to see if they knew when they’d get it. Surprise, they had it. From their conversation, I was either the only person to preorder a stick, or they only had preorders for PS3 sticks.
