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

Dear Concerned,

Worry not. You’ll be receiving a call from Ashley (the automated messaging) letting you know that you’re stick will be available for pick up the next day. As for the 48 hours, when it comes to collectors, limited, special edition skus, we tend to hold on tho those for quite a while since we only get in what was reserved based on allocation. Come the 48 hours, the store SHOULD attempt to call you to remind you of your arrived product in case you missed the original call. Every attempt is made to hold on to a limited/special/etc sku for ALL our customers and shouldn’t sell it to someone asking if we received any ‘extra’ in. That is the purpose of reserving it in the first place. They should have reserved it if they wanted one themselves.

Hell, I’m still sitting on a Rockband 2 Special Edition for the Wii in my backroom for one of my customers! And we got them in back on the 28th of December. How’s that for customer service? C’mon, that is 2 weeks!! Though we cannot keep it forever, if we have many people asking for it, the very least we would call the customer and notify them that if they wish to keep their reserve and cannot come in to pick up their product then that is fine and ask it is alright if we sell their original reserve because it is in high demand. Then when the next shipment comes we’ll hold on to a copy. (this usually applies to software that aren’t bundled with a lot of goodies, ie. WOTLK, GTAIV limited, Halo3, and etc)

If all else fails, we’ll refund the customers money they had on the reserve.

You should be good to go and may want to call your store and see what they can do for you in case you’re not able to make it in for 2+ days (the answer should be ‘Yes, we’ll still hold on to it for you’)

I hope this was helpful.

There is no delay.

Lizard Lick mentioned something that according to MadCatz, no merchant is going to have the PS3 TE stick by launch date.

Probably going to let them both go for 40 shipped in the US.

PS3 TE Stick

I ordered from there and got confirmation email on both VGC and Paypal, looks like it’s a go :wgrin: and $35 shipping isn’t that bad compared to dam play-asia.com that is like a in extra $70.

GIVE THEM A CALL AND FORGET ABOUT ALL LIMITED STUFF I QURANTEE YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED.

I can confirm the reg fightstick is available for preorder at ebgames in Canada for both 360 and ps3, but no TE. Im still hoping against hope but I must admit things arent looking good (oh and prices are strangely identical to the American ones, 69.99 for the ps3 fightstick)

That’s half good news, at least…

My local EB was completely clueless about it all, he only had knowledge of them getting the CE of the game itself.

Excellent! Thanks for the news. Can’t wait to order it for the 360. I hope they have the pads too.

Is impossible for me to get a TE stick at this point :(.

Video game central do not accept my credit card because I’m not from USA and I can afford paypal yet because I will not have the money until the next month :sad:.

Damn… I thought the TE stick was just another shitty madcatz arcade stick but after saw the CES 2009 video I can see that is a great arcade stick but is too late now :sad:.

I would search this thread and look for the people who are cancelling their preoreders because they dont like japanes sticks. Offer to buy their preorder and pay for shipping and you might get one. Its a longshot and probably better than getting it at ebay.

You can use paypal and have paypal linked to your credit card instead of your bank account. That should solve your issue. Do it quickly before they run out of preorders though!

[Masamuna]

I would have ordered from videogamecentral, but after googling site reviews they seem like the LAST place I would get something this expensive from.

Hopefully the 2/10 release date is legit so my playasia pre order will be on time.

Video Game central are still preordering and I paid with paypal. Like I said I got confirmation like that! for both paypal and VCG. My total was $179, So what $30 shipping if you really wanted it like me than go for it. Beats Play-asia and maybe in the long run when people start selling it on ebay for like $300. Just saying…

loacaltion?

if i’m near i’m going to cancell my ST from ebgames and keep my TE

and get the ST locally!

[iag25]

I’m thinking of getting a fightstick for company that comes over. Can anyone vouch for the fightstick ? Of course I don’t expect it to be at the TE level.
