Official Street Fighter IV FightSticks & FightPad Thread (More on the way!)

Something tells me that the 3000 initial is bull. There’s no way they can ship out that many stick to the public and not get complaints about it.

Hey I just heard about this crisis :frowning: ! Can I ask something though ? If mines is reserved ( and proven on my receipt ) , does this mean I’m in the clear ?

Did changing the shippng method change the date of your order to today?

i ordered at a b&m gamestop, and online before they closed it up. it says “back ordered,” like everyone else. i sure hope i get this damn joystick.

kudos to markman

i never thought i’d lust after a madcatz product haha

There is limited edition items all the time, companies have been doing it for years.

Just for fun, a shop listing of the various limited edition Kit Kat bars:

They are made, never to return.
Mmm Mango Kit Kat.

unbox it from the packaging, then unbox the innards from the case and give us poor folk the grand tour! The hype train for the TE stick has enough momentum, it’s time to get it started for the regular one :wgrin:

What are the chances that amazon’s shipping/delivering estimates are way off? If the rumor of stores and other places getting the sticks on the 10th or 11th why in the hell would it take until mid march to get my stick from amazon with free shipping?

Anyone preorder there TE stick at JandL on elizabeth st (NYC)?

I just joined SRK today to update the EB Games Canada situation.

First the good news.
I heard through the grapevine that the sku’s for the madcatz sticks and fightpads for 360 were made today and should show up in the store’s POS update tomorrow. So check on Wednesday to place your pre-orders. I don’t know about the PS3 versions.

Now the bad news.
I heard that they’re undecided on carrying the TE stick.

None of this is confirmed and should be taken as rumor for now.

I’ll post the sku’s as soon as I find out what they are.

I actually canceled my preorder recently which I paid in early december, so I could order it at another gamestop since I wouldn’t be in the area when it was released.

Great.

Preorders stopped and I’m left with money preorder money but didn’t get to re-preorder.

Capcom is gonna make mad money from the arcade sticks than the game itself. :rofl::rofl:

thats not bad news, that is TERRIBLE news. How can this be??!! and what is all the hating on ps3. Im going to go heckle EB tomorrow

ouch…

you should have waited til your other pre-order was confirmed.

try here: http://store.videogamecentral.com/xbox360-sf4-arcade-stick-tournament-edition.html

you’d most likely pay a little more due to shipping but atleast you’d have one pre-ordered.

good luck.

Hey Markman.

What’s the deal with the delay in production for the PS3 TE sticks?

^^I think that goes only for lizardlick.

Watch this video and tell me what you think what seth said about swaping the stick out. I think i heard right.

:grin: Enough for company. It’s not my fault people didn’t get the chance to follow up on the ad nor reserve one. If it was advertised on GameStop TV like the game was, I’m pretty sure more people would have reserved, but since it seems we’ve reached our quota we’ll just have to wait and see if it opens up again.

Yes, folks! We have opened up limited edition reservation skus before in the past. This will be based on the demand for the item(s) and whom is the publisher/company/etc as to manufacturing and shipping out more. Don’t forget $$MONEY$$

There is no delay.

Hey Markman, I know a lot of people have been asking questions.
I just wanted to say thanks for doing this up. I’m pumped for the one I ordered! Good on you for delivering exactly what people want :smiley:

I preordered a plain Fightstick for 360, would it be easy to switch out the balltop for a Sanwa LB30 bat top (with adapter of course), or should I buy the full JLW stick as well?
