I think the regular stick looks nicer as far as box shape and artwork goes.
I’m no expert though…
I find it odd that best buy isn’t taking preorders for the game. I want to use some gift cards to get the CE from there but I was told that they wouldn’t be taking reserves. Maybe they don’t think SF4 is going to be a big game?
Well…the art wouldn’t really matter since you can change it.
Mine was changed to open/backordered (I did not order from B&N) and I called today. She said that it went to backordered because they are no longer taking preorders having filled their initial alotment.
She then said that my order looked fine and that so long as I hadn’t gotten a delayed shipment notice I should still be on target for the original 2/17 date.
are there still plans for a european release? when can we expect further information?
That’s what I was told also. The 11th for the joystick
The DAY i was going to go into gamestop and preorder one. DAMNIT! I guess I’ll just get a new custom with the money… yeah… thats a good idea.
I just went through B&N for the PS3 TE. I hope B&N gets an allotment from GS too. 
What’s the difference between these 2 sticks?
I prefer the size of the TE, but am not sure why they didn’t just made the outside edges black? Hopefully, it doesn’t yellow over time.
so whats the deal with b&n? i dont know why the preorder should still be up. a lot of us who ordered through b&n might be fucked over
On the my xbox blade of the 360 there is a street fighter 4 video with major nelson. A few shots of the sticks in there being used. Seth gets interviewed a bit at the end.

Hori stick 2
plenty of thinks ar diffrent thought man button layout, quality of parts price
Bottom one is HRAP3 just with SFIV art. Has a Sanwa stick, but shitty buttons. Easy to mod though.
Hey euro-guys have you tried ShopTo before?
Will they normally ship something so big and heavy outside of the UK?
It says 153.99EUR for the 360 TE stick.
Will this be the final price?
First time I order from them, but from what I read in their site they “could” change the price according to an increase or decrease from the retail price. As the retail price is really unlikely to change I doubt this will ever happen.
Apparently they do ship all over Europe. I found nothing in their help section suggesting the contrary, and I passed my pre-order with my french adress without raising any kind of error.
Another thing is that you don’t pay anything until the item is stocked and ready to ship, so I suppose it couldn’t hurt to pre-order.
This may be old to you all… if it isn’t enjoy this fancy read: http://gadgets.softpedia.com/news/Mad-Catz-Tournament-Edition-Street-Fighter-Stick-104-01.html
Discuss.
Well, that just seems like a product review by a person who has no idea what this product or comparables provide to their buyers. Lazy too, PS3 only? Do your homework. 
That was the worst fucking article I’ve ever read regarding the stick. It sounds like it was written by an uneducated moron.
If you are going to write an article on something, At least have some KNOW-HOW and SUBSTANTIAL INFORMATION on the actual product itself.
The author of that article needs to be fired for lack of professionalism.
