Well done MarkMan on the design of the sticks. Now if we could just make sure everyone that wants to get one can get one, all will be good. :lovin: Six weeks before the release of the product, the preorders are already full and there’s demand for more!

Huzza:

Could you answer one questions, Mark?

What is the height of the T.E stick compared to HRAP3 and VSHG? Cheers. :looney:

This pic was posted a little earlier in the thread, albeit a little buried right now. No actual measurements, but gives you an idea.

any news about the eruopeen release jet?

This.
That sucks.

It kinda bothers me that the medium and hard buttons are aligned, which isn’t the case on actual arcade cabs. I know why they did this but still…

Also, I find it rather amusing that the “tournament edition” stick has auto fire features

Buttons look the same as Viewlix cab as far as I can tell.

Of course there’s always a few people who will never like something no matter how much a company listens to the fans…

Is anyone else excited about the extras included in the stick’s box? For some reason, those character cards seem really cool. This is probably fanboyism speaking, but dang, I can’t wait til mid February.

khayri · 2009-01-10T20:18:07.000Z

I think Im about to pre-order another TE stick…then I’ll have 1 for each system.

I just keep hoping gamestop doesn’t mess up my preorder somehow

Same here. I got mine pre order from an actual store last month, and now I’m at the mercy of a bunch of Halo players who didn’t even know what I was buying.

I’m gonna go pay it off this week…I’m scared though.

Imitrex · 2009-01-10T20:56:19.000Z

Ya, I am also worried GS will somehow manage to mess up my order. They have done it before. But with a product not limited, so was no big deal. If they mess this up…I’m calling Tetsuosan. Guy is ready to go on a punching spree to the face! And I’ll need a good laugh, so watching him do it would be great.

khayri · 2009-01-10T20:56:58.000Z

**Otter **-^^which GS u pre-order from? Im in DC too

MarkMan:

If anyone in Asia/Japan wants to order the SFIV items, it’d be cheaper if you order from Play-Asia probably.

CLICK here for the SFIV goods, Play-Asia is carrying them all.

Ive pre orderd from play asia since there’s nothing about a UK/Ireland/Euro release.

Came in at 155 with shipping and I’ll probably have to pay customs too,hope it’s worth it as I’m going to probably have to put Radiant Silvergun on ebay to help pay for it.

The one on Duke st. Near the King Metro.

You going to Sinsation next month?

SinJul · 2009-01-10T21:23:05.000Z

Are you other European guys blind? A german shop has them for preorder and you order from hong kong or what ever? your own fault for being so blind and not even reading the last few pages ~_~

Also other shops will follow I guess.

So this german site has the TE stick up for preorder?
I think that they only ship to Germany and BeNeLux but anyway.
Did anyone find out any other European shops that have the stick up for preorder?

Thats the only German store currently taking preorders and someone suggested the price was speculative.I don’t speak German so can’t check the details.

If a viable European choice becomes available I can cancel the play-asia order.

tose german shops are not official resellers there just offer the item without knowing jet if they get one markman did not feryfy that the shops will get them till now and + the price is total messed up… they even dont know the price jet…

why do you think doese the price is so diffrent in germany??

by the way i preordert mine from EBGAMES(gamestop) for 165$ with shipping if it get trouh the tax it will be cheaper than the german shops and althou faster german shops list them for 2.3.09 ebgames for 17.2. calculate 5 - 8 day shipping to it…

i hope ebgames dont mess with my preorder from 25.12 becouse thay mess without issues my preorder from 18.12 i got realy angry but the 15$ coupon make me a bit happyer…

When I got the SFAC Stick from GS, I paid it for a new stick…but got home to see the bottom fucked up, and the top corner dinged to all hell. I sent it back demanding a new stick.

2 months later I got a new SFAC Stick…

gamestop is like i wrote a snakepit

they started with service and grow to fast to big and now the customers do not care them anymore its like madcatz (maybe a while ago since they notice the failore and try to make it better)

they fucked up my first order too and even the mistake was 100% gamestop issue they could not open my order again and i loss my position in the “waiting list”

so i got punnished for a failor from gamestop!

my Visa card veriffyed me that everything was right and gamestop never tryed to check for billingadress but gamestop told the billignadress was wrong…

after i called my Visa manger they told me that the Cardadress exactly match the gamestop billingadress i go throu every single digit with the supporter there…

i realy hope this will not happen again with my ebgames order since ebgames is gamestop i got a bad feeling…

I just hope UPS doesn’t beat the hell out of mine. I shipped a motherboard once, and the dude just flung it in the back of the truck with a double underhand toss. O_O
