The TE stick is pretty cool. They made it easily customizable. If you don’t like a sanwa stick you can replace with an american stick. If a button gets bad you can easily replace it.
Well if I were madcatz and saw that the preorders sold out I would make more sticks. I would probably guess they would make more after seeing good sale results. If they don’t then its their lost. If they don’t want money its their problem.
I’m hoping my local guy ord3red one or two. He still has some rare stuff he ordered that no one in my podunk town bought like the Halo 3 CE and the RE4 Chain Saw. I plan to pick them up eventually. I hope he threw down for one of the SFIV TE sticks cause it’ll be there till the end of time if I don’t buy it hahaha.
yeah we stopped taking pre orders on them 2 days ago…I didn’t know they were going to be THAT limited so on the last day when I heard we had stopped I put in my preorder with the quickness. You can still preorder the other arcade sticks for right now anyway…but there’s no telling how long those will stay up for preorder.
As an aside to things Gamestop…As of the near the beginning of Feb. We’re going to stop taking in Xbox stuff…games, systems, and accessories.
i preordered a ps3 TE stick sometime in dec. if i end up not having the money to buy it i’ll let u know, since im looking more into the 360 TE stick for now.
edit: my friend will be holding that stick in the stock room for me since im the only one that preordered it. so if i end up not buying it i’ll hit u up here.
Ebay fiends are creaming themselves upon reading this news.
All we can hope for is a re-release of the TE sticks sometime in the future… either that or, you know, you could pay 1/3 as much to build a similar- if not identical-quality stick yourself.
I highly doubt my area will have the sticks. If anything I’ll just get the Hori Ex Pro for 360. At least it has quick disconnects on the buttons for easy mod/replacement.
Let me no when u can because i might just preorder from playasia but then id have to spend 220!!! The shipping is crazy, and it would be alot easier if i can just get it from u.
Shopto.net and Play.com both had them in the UK but have stopped pre-orders for now. Game are supposedly gonna get them in a week or so and the Mad Catz official store are supposed to have them up later today. http://www.gamesharkstore.net/brand/sfiv.htm
They do take all preorders til then. But certain limited quantity items such as Wrath of the Lich King CE and TE sticks are produced in small amount compared to the demand. If the supply isn’t there, why offer a preorder and when you clearly cannot.
Capcom / Madcatz are the only ones to “blame” but I guess they underestimated the market for high quality stock sticks.
