Worst goes to worst I’ll just cancel too. Hunting for this fucking stick is so frustrating.
Last night, the capcom store opened their preorders, but this morning they were all sold out.
Yeah Capcom store had them up for about 12 hours last night, ordered 2 PS3 TE’s to Vancouver for $330.00US after UPS Express International shipping and 10% off the order. Placed my order around 3am.
Soldout by 9am the next day.
ups? ohhh boy
UPS is usually notorious for shafting people on the “Brokerage fee” but with certain shipping methods including UPS Express the brokerage fee is already included, so I won’t be shelling out the extra ~$40.00 typically found with items in the $300-400 range.
Barry I had originally ordered mine from VGC but I canceled it like a week ago. BTW why is yours $228?? mine was $209US which came out to $274CN. If you chose to cancel it they will try to give you the run around and charge you 5% for canceling. They are not that reliable.
just got off the phone with a customer representative from the 905-*** number posted on Jay?s First page.
Got some bad news. The release date is highly likely to come out in mid-late march the EARLIEST. So, don?t get your hopes up. I?m guessing the system date of February 18 is just a place holder. He said the U.S. preorders are being PRODUCED as we speak. Meaning, there are NO GUARANTEES for ANY PRE-ORDER (I asked him a couple of times on that to make sure he really meant that ). That being said he did say most likely the first ones that pre-ordered are mostly likely going to receive it. I then asked about the allocation of supplies and he said there is no priority to stores with more pre-orders. As for why some are still taking pre-orders and some aren?t, He said as far as he knew, all stores should still be taking pre-orders… Lastly he said everything is up in the air right now, so he suggested I call back in 2-3 weeks. Maybe someone can call them back in a couple of weeks ?
sucks to be a Canadian for these type of stuff. (Technology, etc). We always get screwed.
Don’t let the euros hear you say that…or worse… the aussies
Thanks Raymond, I will call and cancel my order first thing on Monday.
So the standard sticks for ps3 are avaliable? OMG all this time… I’m so stupid, I could’ve asked for Standard.
Are they still avaliable according to the date of this post?
As far as I know, EB has stopped taking preorders for the regular stick. The tourney stick can still be preordered though.
the ebs’s i’ve visited have declined both my attempts to pre-order either stick
I pre-ordered 2 from the Eaton Center Location yesterday.
$190 for each of them with a minimum of a $10 deposit. We’re getting ripped big time compared to what they cost in the US.
glad you found a spot to pre-order them.
i wonder why no one understands currency conversion???
149.99 USD @ 0.80 CAD to USD conversion equals roughly 189.99 CAD
unless if you bought a buncha USD last summer when it was at par???
I understand they’ll cost that much due to the conversion. What I meant was the that Canadian dollar being weak against the US dollar right now isn’t helping any. :clown:
Ugh, seriously?
I pre-ordered one on the 21st from EBGames when they were available without any problems, and I just went in again today to order a 2nd after giving it some time to think it over.
A friend of mine went to the EB at hillcrest mall and couldn’t get a preorder and was told that “nobody would be getting the TE sticks even those who preordered”. I’m assuming they’re crazy.
I’ve been hearing late March from EB employees who actually know something about the way the company they work for will stock their inventory. This is most likely just a bitter employee screwing with you
Yeah that’s my guess as well. I told my friend to go to the same EB that I went to but I guess it’s too much of an effort for him.
Hey guys, don’t mean to add to any of the confusion, but I just got off the phone with a lady at EBgames here in Edmonton and she seemed really up to speed on this whole issue.
She said that all pads and TE fighting sticks are completely sold out, and won’t be arriving until mid-march (even for pre-orders).
The regular fighting sticks were coming out on the 18th along with Street Fighter IV.
