This is a limited time offer. Don’t Delay and use it now!

$240 is a steal for this badboy. It is sure to take your game to another level! Did you see what it did for GamerBee?? :lol:

Lol, cause I’m sure he wouldn’t have taken it out if he was using a TE :stuck_out_tongue:

Ya, saw that on their website. I’d like to know when the promo ends since I need to buy other stuff before getting this bad boy! I emailed them yesterday so just waiting for a response now.

Before they updated, they said it would last til the codes expire. So no real date, but I wouldn’t expect it to be a super long time. As for getting a response from Hori, I e-mailed those jerks on Saturday after they explained the code mix-up to see if my order would go through. The STILL haven’t gotten back to me.
If I could just find out if my order was cancelled, I could re-order with the 20% off code. But my hands are pretty much tied for now. such a bummer, because I"ve decided I’m finally willing to pay for a VLX.

As for Gamerbee/Momochi: I thought it was totally awesome that they both used a VLX in grand finals, but I thought those two + Choco were sharing the same stick. Did one of them just borrow Sabin’s?

Is the VLX limited in it’s production numbers?

The only reason I ask is because it looks like Gamestop (!) will start carrying the VLX starting in November - Gamestop.com - Buy Real Arcade Pro 3 VLX - Playstation 3

Holy cow. Yes, Hori continually touted their limited production run, so this is an interesting turn.

In regards to the Horishop sale, the codes are no longer on the frontpage so I would surmise the sale is over. For those who have experience ordering with Hori, how long did it take to get a shipping confirmation? I ordered on Friday and I’m anxious to see if my order has actually gone through. The charge is pending on my credit card, but Hori has not responded to my e-mail and I’m afraid they are just going to cancel it. Now with no code, I probably won’t be able to get a discount on it.

The codes expire on the 22nd.

I think I lucked out. Before they explained the whole coupon ordeal, I ordered a 360 VLX with the 30% code immediately after teamspooky updated their twitter with the coupon codes. After I read the code issue regarding VLXs and 30% coupon, I assumed my order would be canceled. Lo and behold, I just received a UPS shipment email for my VLX, I can’t wait… 20lbs shipping? woah, what does this thing weigh outta the box?

Thx for the info. Sorry to hear that.

Looks like it’s available now from Gamestop. I never thought in a million years Gamestop would carry this item due to it’s cost, LOL!

Thx, that’s the info I needed! Decisions, decisions, decisions…

Man, you’re lucky to get 30% off!!! It weighs 12.1-pounds.

I’m happy to read that. I had the same issue as you, and I just got a shipment e-mail from UPS too!

If the promotion is on till the 22nd, what was the promo code for 20% off of the VLX? Or is the promotion over?

I just placed an order for the VLX on horistore.com. The promotion is still on. For anyone who needs the code, it is HORI10E120.
Order total was $239.99. Only 2 days left for those who need the VLX. I can say with certainty that I have just purchased my last stick. I think I will keep it stock too or upgrade the pcb when the next round of consoles come out. Here’s hoping mine does not have any defects. GET HYPE!

They should keep the price lower, imo. It’s a great stick, but $300 is really unreasonable.

Hori claims them to be “limited”, but only time will tell, and it looks like Gamestop is already shipping them. :looney:

That should be your main reason to jump on it now for $240! I think I might just cave in & order tomorrow. Gonna need a good nights sleep over it now that I know the promo ends on Friday.

For those that bought directly from Hori U.S.A: Did they just slap a shipping label on the original box or do they actually package it inside another box? Thx!

One is plenty enough for me :wgrin:

Be like MarkMan & have 8 of them, LOL!

I paid $610 for mine because there are only 2 web shops in the world who ship to my location. The other shop would cost $962. $240 is very well priced.

$610 wow, thats love for the product…

Ordered my early yesterday, it shipped late same day, but has an ETA of 10/25. Waiting sucks. :frowning:

I couldn’t pass up the discount. Regardless of wether this is a truly limited stick or not, I’ve wanted one since they were first announced. Now I really want to get it and Per’s new PS360 PCB in hand so I can spec out the (hopefully) cleanest mod setup for this stick/pcb combination.

Going to build a setup for this stick, console, and the Asus “Evo” monitor to create a “Viewlix Jr!” :slight_smile:
