Yeh… thxs but it’s been repeated like a million times. mid-late march. Just read a couple of posts above you.

Great work calling though.

Wow, people are still going on about late march and stuff? I thought it was posted a few PAGES ago…

This thread has basically served its purpose but will be left open if people find deals or find out certain locations get the TE stick first. The thread title has been updated. I’m sure we’d all appreciate if anyone new to this thread refrained from posting about late March because it’s frankly old news now.

Yay stickssss! Hmm altho the price is higher than what the guy told me…NICE!

Pre-order won’t guarantee that you’ll get it in Feb.

I have said it before, they continued to advertise the crap out of the TE sticks even after getting 16000 more preorders over stock…They STILL are advertising them!!! They are only making more money for the people on Ebay selling them and making $100 plus profit…more than madcatz is making off them…I’m sure they will keep promoting them…just get the reg fight stick and get Sanwa parts, on ebay theres a great sanwa dealer with very fast shipping…New Era Video Games is the seller you can email him through Ebay…look up sanwa buttons and youll find him…I live in America and it took like 4 days to get the buttons!!! Im going to test out the stick and see if I like the gumdrop stick/square gate combo before I get a stick from him…He has the same stick in the TE

Yeah I was told in January that I wouldn’t get the TE stick until at least mid march, so I opted for the reg fightstick

System_1 · February 5, 2009, 7:10am

Does anyone know if the regular fightstick, and fightpads are going to be available through a wider distibution? Like will wal-mart be getting fightpads or anything haha… Probably not. But I’m from a smalltown :(, so does anyone know anyplace to order the regular fightstick from online? or fightpads?

x_tremer · February 5, 2009, 11:39am

so i take it that the fightpads and SE fightsticks will be available at launch?

Yup but a lot of EBs are “pre-ordered” out of them. Hopefully they can more than the pre-order stock but even if they do I wouldn’t be surprised if they only had a few left over to buy.

I’m just going to pick up my copy of SF4 and get there right when they open so if they have any leftovers i can just scoop it up

iag25 · February 5, 2009, 11:58pm

So for Canada it’s 18th of Feb not 17th for the game/SE fightstick ?

Davero · February 6, 2009, 12:27am

I actually went to the HMV superstore and their system shows their getting it on the 17th…

CB · February 6, 2009, 2:49am

ya, i called my local EB here in ottawa. they’ve got feb.18th for TE stick(ps3) and mid-march for TE stick(360).
game is coming out on the 17th.
i pre-ordered both

You’ve gotta be joking, holy.

mkfighter · February 6, 2009, 3:05am

I was told the 18th for the game, but that was over two weeks ago. So the game comes out and a day later the pads…I don’t understand that. I guess it’s to give us a day to watch the Bluray movie and to play with the Ryu action figure.

CB · February 6, 2009, 3:17am

i was certain it was a c-viper figurine?

mkfighter · February 6, 2009, 3:34am

That’s the 360 version. PS3 CE will come with Ryu.

CB · February 6, 2009, 3:37am

dang…now i have to buy pron

iag25 · February 6, 2009, 8:37am

PS3 TE sticks on the 18th of FEBRUARY ??!! You shitting me right ?

I’m an old man, I can’t take these types of jokes.

jim_kim · February 6, 2009, 8:48am

NO! They are NOT coming out on the 18th, stop spreading these god damn rumours…
