I think the shipping’s about $50 from Play-Asia and other international import sites. From NCSX it should be $15 or so.
Uk release date is some time in june i’ve heard kinda shitty huh? i dont know if that is fact, some shops were saying march IE game, if it is june i wonder if there’s any new content i seriously doubt, it you’d expect it waiting another 4 months.
Yeah it’s kinda of funny how nobodys answered the training question again knowing namco it’s probably your run of the mill fair in fact the whole package sounds run of the mill to be honest i guess we’ll have to wait and see
Man, people at eBay are breaking the bundle down and selling it by bits and pieces. Pisses me off. There was even someone stupid enough to bid on a 50 bucks auction for the free artbook!!!
Dude it’s like 9am and I can’t believe I woke up earlier. I have to wait a few hours til the store opens here to get my game. Goddamnit…:bluu:
same. the wait is killing me. then after that i still have to go to one more class before i can go home to play it.
when you guys get the game, could you check which ps2-xbox converters it works well with? i just ordered the magicbox from play-asia and i’d like to know if they’re compatible…thanks
Good stuff man! The stick looks really nice, Im tempted to get one myself. But I plan on getting the Hori stick with the Seimitsu (sp?) config soon so Ive just ordered the standalone game.
Obot the UK release, Im not sure. One place I checked says October, the other says mid June. Either way, :mad: !
Oh shoot
That reminds me I need to try out this stick with my 3 in 1 PC joybox. That is if I can stop playing Tekken 5 long enough to test it out.
I mean the damn thing already plays like a dream with a saturn pad. I can’t imagine the bliss playing Alpha 3 and Vampire Savior with my T5 stick.
And yeah I don’t understand the hate about the stick we got in the US having non-sanwa sticks. But then again I’m new to the whole thing and when I first pulled the T5 stick out of the box I shat my pants with the fury.
:tup: to Namco.
Fuck people of shuryuken!!! Get your ass up, go to best buy or local game provider and pick up TEKKEN 5.
:badboy: :encore: :encore:
All right, with all the talk about the stick not being Sanwa, I just had to check it out myself. I took apart the stick, and it wasn’t a Sanwa.
The engineering of this HRAP is different from the original HRAP. The original HRAP had the PCB board separate, in the upper left hand corner of the box ( looking right side up). As for the Tekken 5 HRAP, the PCB board is relatively huge, and it sits behind all the buttons. Moreover, the PCB board is soldered to all the button endpoints, so this makes it harder to replace parts. As for the stick, the all wires going to the stick are soldered to the microswitches as opposed to using a harness that Sanwa sticks would use. So, yeah, this is really different.
Honestly, when using the original HRAP and the T5 HRAP, I didn’t feel a difference in execution.
I was thinking… could the T5 stick that US is getting be the same similiar stick that was in the Namco stick(gray base/yellow buttons) as well?.. it looks sort of the same.
Oh and what about the buttons? Are they Sanwa too or something else?.. just wanted to know.
did anyone get the bundle from a Gamestop store today? Mine says that every Gamestop has a delay with the bundles untill monday? Is this monkey right or is he bieng to lazy to open up the shipment and check for me?
Just curious , thanks!
Just called EB. The chick said they just started opening the boxes. peace.
I love Tekken 5, man. The way it feels is just spot on-- somewhere in between TTT and T4, with more brutal lookin’ moves.
I was the only cat that preordered the bundle at my local EB Games. So they only got one shipped-- mine. 
Got it about a half hour ago and ran through some of my favorites in Practice mode. The arcade stick isn’t quite as… Stiff as I’d like it to be. Feels like it’ll wear down after a few months of use or somethin’.
No one got it from Gamestop an actual store? Man I think I am so screwed!
my gamecrazy doesnt have it yet, what am i to do?! :shake:
I got it this morning around 10 am. I got there right when they opened the box with all the games in it. They only had two bundles that were for people who pre-ordered so I was out of luck, oh well.
Anyway the game is the shit, can’t wait to put more time into it this weekend. Thick ass strategy guide though but its beautiful if good info in it on how the charaters match up. So stop reading this and pick this game up :tup:!
Gamer X: Would you mind telling us a little about the guide? Like… break down the contents it has per character.(My nearest gamestop is kinda far, and my work only gets the game but no guide)
Please?
i told you people that gamestop wasnt going to have them until monday
Mine does. Picking it up tonight
