My brother pre-ordered his last year. Picked it up this afternoon from Gamestop (a few desperate bystanders offered to pay 'em as much as $250 for it). First impression: It’s one of the best stiks I’ve ever used, hands down.
Heres a thought, only a thought, of why some stores have not got the TE sticks in yet. Some stores who were EB games before the merge, may not be a priority store. Meaning the stores that were Gamestop before the merge may be getting it in first. Of course this is only a guess.
The one I ordered through has always been a GS. Still no word on when I will get mine. They didn’t get the “coming in March” email, so…
if any1 hears on 2nites news that a gamestop manager got assualted in jersey, you will know thats my work…
**Edit for not being awake and not adhering to reading comprehension.
GOt all my shit. Very satisfied.
I am in the same boat. I just moved to NJ and I already hate this fucking state. I was mighty pissed when I walked into the store yesterday. The manager looked shook when I told him to be straight with me. For some reason its almost impossible for these guys to admit that they dont know something. Nothing angers me more than a guy knowingly giving me bad information. I was in front of a long line when all this went down but the crowd was on my side oohing and ahhing till the guy gave up said he didnt know, called someone and finally got someone on the phone to admit that my order wont be filled till march and said something about getting a free wall scroll. A free fucking wall scroll? WTF am I supposed to do with fucking wall scroll? Since when were those able to input commands into my 360? I took all my anger and went home and built me a custom stick from scracth, all I have to do is wire it today.
I was told yesterday when i picked up the game that it should come today because another bulk shipment is coming. So at lunch i will head over there. I have custom sticks, shit i got a custom cabinet to play 360 sf4 on. But, the whole point is how hard these are to come by. And that i was garrentied to get it by release (yesterday) when i payed it off Jan 5th. How people around the nation can buy it off a shelf and they cant give it to someone who payed it off more then a month ago, is confusing and embarrassing. I have been calm up until last nite, so if my stick isnt there, i will strangle the manager and the 2 ,14 yr old kids who work behind the counter.
Ya. The disorganization is uncanny. I went so far as to even call their “customer support” to ask why the hell a GS 60 miles from me got extra TE’s (over preorder list) while people here sit with preorders and no TE. Their response was to the effect of “Oh well. Better luck next time and you may see your stick within a month, but were not sure.” What the hell kind of support is that? No compensation, no looking in to the matter, not even the standard “you’ll get it in March.” response that others are getting.
A wall scroll? Seriously? I would rather have store credit or a percentage off of the original purchase.
Picked up my CE SF4 last night, but no stick. My Gamestop had 360 TEs in but no PS3.
NO LOVE FOR THE TRIPPLE
Damn it, my GS used to be a EB Games Store…
Eagle Rock gamestop?
Cause thats what happened to me yesterday. They told me that they had an error and that they would get the PS3 one next week and that they would call me asap (bs). I called again later like around 530 to make sure. They told me that I was on the holding list but they said that I would get it no matter what.
I called today and they said that they would refund my money saying that they called people but they never called me at all.
seriously gamestop dropped the ball on this…
So i went to gamestop to see if they got in my TE today, which i have done everyday for 8 days straight… of course no surprise they didnt have it again. The manager told me that a lto of street fighter 4 products are late on the shipment. So he said to call everyday or 2, and i said instead of me who already paid it off calls u, why dont u give me a call when you get it in or when you find out information on when its getting in… i left him my number but i assume he wont call me ever. So i then decided to just call corporate, just for answers… The customer support guy told me that if you pre-ordered the TE stick at a store. They should have it no later then feb 20th (2 days from now). He said the problem was that the distributors of the product (madcatz), they were the one’s late on the delivery blah blah. Just like any other business its never thier fault its always the other persons, but i believe in this case its both gamestop and madcatz’s fault. You dont give me your word that you are going to give me a product by a date then not delivery. Hopefully this post helps.
I came to my Anaheim Gamestop today around 7pm. I just walked in and 2 seconds later, the clerk told me my TE stick has been delayed until March 3. He knew I came for the stick before I even asked about it lmao. Oh well, I can wait if I know my stick will be in perfect working condition (no defects, etc).
Still no TE…I hope to bob they fuckin’ pony up my TE when they said they were going to . If not, I’ll take a refund but I’m not gonna be happy about it, and I better get my freakin wall scroll from madcatz.:arazz:
Yea so, corporate was wrong, and the manager told me he got a memo about it coming first week of march. Just as well it gave me time to practice on a controller and win the tourny.
waiting til march = FTL
i’ve been calling them everyday to see if they got anything. so looks like wait it out for one more week…
Preorder for the TEs? Don’t tell me when you preordered you got the stick as well…I thought you had to pay for it. confused
I preordered mine. They got two sticks in the store. One for me, one to sell. Manager sold both on eBay, told me they were delayed till march. He gave me a card with a number to call, says there is a free wallscroll for those whose orders didn’t get filled, and that Madcatz didn’t fill their orders. Says madcatz sold more than it could ship. That’s great and all, but I’m still trying to get that motherfucker fired for selling my shit on ebay. My friend who works at the shop told me about him bragging about this shit. I can’t believe it.
Can’t they research the receipt # vs. preorder status in the system? My manager looked up my preorder in the system, just to see if an employee ganked it to sell, but it just hasn’t showed up yet. With that in mind, your TE linked with receipt # should report as already received by the store shouldnt it?
Even if that is not possible to pinpoint, the store will show how many preorders were made, and how many sticks were received. If they received only 2 sticks…well, any sticks, and they all show sold, yet you have yet to receive yours, the manager should be screwed.
Thats messed up man.
