Just wondering if anyone thinks that priority on the sticks will be given to actual store orders?
There is still hope!
For those still looking to order a TE stick from somewhere other than Play-asia, have heart–it seems that videogamescentral.com is still taking pre-orders for both the 360 and the PS3 versions.
360: http://store.videogamecentral.com/xbox360-sf4-arcade-stick-tournament-edition.html
PS3: http://store.videogamecentral.com/ps3-madcatz-sfiv-arcade-joystick.html
Their seller ratings aren’t the best, but at this point I was running out of options. Just put in an order for two 360 sticks, with shipping coming up to $25 USD per stick. A lot better than $40+ from Play-asia, and not too much higher than the $13 in sales tax I would’ve paid pre-ordering at my local Gamestop.
I’ve received confirmation e-mails from both VGC and Paypal–everything seems a go…hopefully it will remain that way. Hopefully this info will help some people who just waited a little bit too late to order their sticks from Amazon and GS.
It is for premium members only, and after 500 posts. Anyone can do it. Just pay for a sub and help out the site.
I was wondering this too. I mean, when ordering in a b&m location, the deposit was already placed so we should get preference, but then again the company has to pay for shipping rather than the customer paying for the online orders so I dunno.
Awesome I just Pre-ordered a Ps3 one at VGC Now I’m complete 
I wonder how many sticks would be available if people didn’t pre-order at 9 different places just for “back-up”, lol.
For that reason a lone, there will probably be 500+ TE sticks being sold right off the shelf to those who didn’t pre-order, lol.
Play-Asia are no longer taking pre-orders for the 360 version of the FightStick TE. They’ve reached their allocation limit.
was going to order there, but damn 100$ shipping to Canada?
madcatz will definitely need to make another post- sfiv release of the TE sticks. I mean, they could at least sell another 3000 easy seeing how fast all these online retailers went OOS on preorders
I wish I hadn’t of picked free shipping on amazon. I don’t want to change it though because I’m worried that it will change my order date and put me at the end of the line.
Lets hope I would love to grab a extra just to tinker around with.
^hehe i’m actully going to keep all my backups and hold toronto tournaments MUAHAHA
Agree and want to happen!!!
Might as well sell them on ebay and get hundreds of dollars in profit. 
Ok, been checking up on this thread all day in between work and i pre ordered 2 sticks monday night 5 minutes before gamestop closed , as soon as i heard there was only 3,000 units i went to reserve that shit.
they charged my debit card and it went through, but i needed confirmation because some people are syaing the cut off date was Sunday and others say Monday.
I went to gamecrazy to see if i could still reserve it and they said sorry, monday night was the last night to do it, its not in the reserve system anymore. Ok. confirmed there.
Next was the store i reserved it, gamestop. I checked if it was in the system anymore for reserves, of course , they said no.
I asked them to check if my order was still valid and will be covered. They looked it up and said yes your on the list so no worries.
SO , if anyone pre-ordered, before the store closed monday night, your cool.
If not, good luck i guess.
A 5 second video? Sure!
just kidding. If I have time I will…
Mark the TE doesn’t allow ls-33 does it?
Yeah I just called 3 of my local gamestops to see if they were still taking pre-orders and they all said no. I didn’t want to wait till march 10th for my stick with free-shipping (pre-ordered on amazon dec 15th) so i changed my shipping tonight to 4 day standard at a price of $4.95 and it moved my delivery date to feb 27th- well worth the money if anybody else ordered free shipping through amazon and wants their stick faster! I can hardly wait… Feb/March are going to bankrupt me between CE SF4 , TE stick, Star Ocean 4 and RE5- sheesh!!
I went to Gamestop today to ask if the were gonna have the Fightpad in stock or if I had to preorder.
Clerk:…whats a Dpad?
Me: well…I mean…hmmm…its like the same 360 controller but SFIV edition.
Clerk: OHH!! You mean the sticks!? we have a hori in the back! =D
Me:…er…no no…I just want to know if you guys are gonna sell the CONTROLLERS…DPADS…not the sticks.
Clerk2: Oh yeah but…the 360 only has sticks, the PS3 has both sticks and pads…
Me: Huh? But both systems have the same SFIV stuff.
Clerk2: Hmm no…
Me: Im out of here son…
So what is the deal with the Fightpads? Everyone else is just goin crazy about the sticks but I am a pad warrior, I already read the whole FAQ and they don’t even talk about them…it saddens me, so little information and I am really lookin forward to a Chunners Pad :wasted:
And you reserved how many?
