has madcatz considered making a 2 panel TE? i was thinking about swapping the sides of my te’s last night and thought what if madcatz just made a side panel that connected the two sticks together? madcatz wouldn’t have to make a new mold of the case itself, and it could just basically be a side panel lengthy enough to connect them together and give it space. i guess the only thing would be if the case could support that but it was just an idea that hit me last night.
Looks like the "S"s are available on the MadCatz store, now! http://store.gameshark.com/StreetFighterIV
gameshark outta stock in 3…2…1…
DAMMIT! and I just brought a MVC2 Stick this past weekend to mod. Curse you Madcatz!!
I don’t know, I’m just not feelin the TE “S”. Meh, maybe it’s only cuz I’m broke! 
I am thinking about getting a ps3 version of one of these but as my round 1 ps3 te will not work on my ps3 I may have to opt with a hori…
Unless you’re planning on selling the R1 TC case why not just save some money and get an MC Cthulu? It will make the stick compatible with PC, Mac, PS3, and backwards compatible with SNES, PS1, and PS2? Heck, some converters even work with the PS2 functionality and allow you to use it on a Dreamcast!
Of course, getting any Cthulu assumes you can solder unless you have someone else do it for you…
You could probably reuse the original pushbutton wiring inside the R1 TE with the Cthulu PCB, too.
hmm i wonder if they are shipping immediately?
I just pre-ordered the black “S” to complete my fightstick collection this gen. I will now have two sticks TE that will be a lot of fun and cannot wait to have a arcade experience in my house.
just got an email from amazon saying they’re expecting to get the sticks on the 16th now… =(
this could be a very late email though… it’s updating from the original april 29th date.
I didn’t get that email & I pre-ordered on Feb. 24th. When did you pre-order it?
Just checked the front page of the stick and you can get the “S” stick for 137.99(includes tax and shipping/handling) at the gameshark store using the coupon LEVELUP20 (20% discount). Pretty sweet.
Thanks geoker, <3. Saved me 12 bucks.
Edit: Thanks. Just noticed it.
Spelled the discount wrong forgot “L”: LEVELUP20
And it does work. If you have a order w/o the discount, cancel and reorder. Save yourself $20 or so bucks
I just did it
Thx guys! I thought that promo code already ended but I guess not. I canceled my pre-order at Amazon & just ordered on Gameshark to save $14! Quick question…Amazon’s website says it won’t ship until March 12th yet on the checkout at Gameshark, it says “In stock”…Did anyone get a shipping confirmation yet?!?
the day they became available pretty much.
I canceled my preorder from Amazon and signed up on Madcatz.com for their newsletter. Then they sent me a 10% off coupon code. I ordered the “S” TE (all blk 360 FTW!) and got 15 bucks off. Great deal.
Anyone know if these will be making their way over the pond to the UK? I need a new stick (alright, I don’t need one…) - but there’s no sign of these here yet.
Anyone know when the super street fighter 4 fight pads will be at EBgames?
Looks like mine is in progress right now. So i’m guessing they’re getting it packed / ready to shiip :D!
Having some trouble with the 20% discount, it realizes I put the code in correctly but does not subtract said amount. Is it the code still valid or am I just out of luck?
