Thanks for the update. Not sure if you know this but I got a friend in Japan right now. Are there like “retail brick stores” where someone can just buy one of these sticks on release day?
$300 is probably not much more than the SE will cost if people are lucky!
(Not that I wouldn’t mind getting an SE myself…!)
If understood correctly from the Hori website, the SE stick doesn’t release until Monday the 15th.
I’m sure there’ll be listings for it that day on the import sites!
I wouldn’t be that hard on them. Shipping’s outrageous for hardware nowadays and domestic profit margins on these things have to be low unless you really inflate your prices. NCSX is hardly the highest-pricing company in the US. I can think of other places that really do price-gouging pretty well… Mainly in California and Hawaii. Sometimes these other companies pricing are so bad it’d be cheaper to have a stick shipped from Play-Asia!
The retail price on the SE is around 100 USD. The retail on the VOOT stick is about 300 USD lol. Come on, you really think that it will cost ‘not much more than the SE will cost’ ?
I’m really pissed Hori comes out with this after I got my TE. I really want those Seimitsu buttons, the 6 red/blackrim and 2 black/blackrims and a Red top LS-32-01. Still in the process of finding the buttons, but I know where I’m getting the LS-32-01 from.
EDIT:Nvm, I just found out where I can get the buttons, no longer angry . Not akihabarashop because I don’t want to order them, I’d rather pick them up in person, but thanks for the link MarkMan.
Looks hot, I’m definitely gonna try to get one of these babies. Doubt i will though, just wonder on the average price on import sites, then factoring in the shipping to Australia…$$ ching ching $$
Gladly pay for it though, i need an excellent stick this time around.
