Great deal for anyone looking for one.

[Chemosh013]

i hope this means they'll be coming in stock other places too (and for 360!)

[BackInBlack]

Good find. Hope for 360 versions to be in stock soon!

[Monsta Mack]

Finally. Now just waiting for the 360 ones to come in stock.

[Scorch]

Grabbed a Ken one. Ryu's already gone.

Chun-Li and Blanka are also in stock

//edit: Ryu's back in stock

[OtherAdam]

Hope the 360 ones come back soon.

[OGHowie]

Frys.com is taking preorders now but they randomly pack the character.....

[macuseros9]

buy.com also has preorders at $38 shipped and you can choose, but they say it ships around 4/1

[CaoPi]

screw the pad, get a stick

[Sharp Katana]

screw the pad, get a stick

haha yeah. I missed the pad part and got excited for nothing :razz:

[rabbitt]

Looks like they're OOS.

[gunm]

The PS3 ones are in stock as I type this, but not 360. Still waiting on the 360 ones also.

[Amc5kidz]

Looks like they're OOS.

Chun-Li, Blanka and Ken for the PS3 are all still in stock.

[Zmonkay]

can anyone attest as to their quality and longevity? I've heard people that love them, but that they start to feel sloppy after using them a while. Is that widespread, or just a few cases that get repeated over and over?

[rabbitt]

Chun-Li, Blanka and Ken for the PS3 are all still in stock.

Yep, now I see them.

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

Chun-Li & Blanka are still in stock. Ken is out of stock.

[mtgrungoblins]

picked up a Ryu PS3 pad. I got a Chun Li one earlier but didn't get a second. Glad I saw this. Thanks OP.

[bajingo]

i know no one knows for sure, but how likely is it the 360 ones come back in stock tonight? do they re-up the stash for both around the same time? or should i bite and try to trade for a 360 one later

[Civickid96]

Missed out on the Ken and Ryu ones for PS3 but ended up with Chun-Li and Blanka. All I need now are the 360 ones also and I'm set. Thanks OP! :D

--Michael

[menikmati]

I placed an order for Chun Li.

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

Chun Li - 0 21

Blanka - 49 60

[octopus]

in for one chun li.

still waiting for a proper stick to show up as in stock... this will have to do until then!

[theb1rdm4n]

wow, one of them was like $230.

[adamantypants]

Does this mean sticks will be in stock soon? Playing C.Viper without a stick is a chore...

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

Chun Li is oos!

[Bazz]

I want a 360 one already!

[darkd75]

Picked up a Blanka! Everything else is OOS!

[Apokolypz84]

Gone.

[necrojustice]

Damn it!

[Wayne Cabana]

Ah, the false hopes of a dead deal. :(

[Xfactor4]

Ah, the false hopes of a dead deal. :(

I agree ! Thread title needs to be updated to DEAD or OOS.

Any MODS on shift ?:D

[ninja dog]

I am literally crying right now....



...

[Shimrra]

Eh they are just controllers so eventually they'll be back on the store shelves soon enough. Its just a matter of playing the waiting gaming.

[bart122580]

I keep missing the pads. I ordered a saturn controller instead, hope it works good.

Where'd you find one at a decent price? They were 2 for 30 last summer, but I completely forgot to order them once my paypal issues were taken care of, and now they are 40 (or more) for one it seems :(

Wow, really it was 2 for $30? I just ordered one from ebay for $30. Well, at least it's cheaper than the fight pad.

[gmsisko1]

Does anyone know how many of these pads Capcom will make?
They are limited edition.

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

probably 3K more or less.

Capcom will make 0 more

[GuardianE]

Firstly, Capcom's not making them. Madcatz is. So all decisions regarding distribution of the pads will be made by Madcatz.

And these aren't going to be limited editions. I think they're just recalling/fixing the problems with some current ones. There are certainly going to be more than 3,000. There probably already are. The controller shouldn't be hard to find down the road. They won't sit on shelves forever, probably, but I'm sure plenty more shipments will come in.

[gmsisko1]

Well,
They say limited edition right on the package, so logic would dictate that they are limited edition.

I ordered a couple of them at frys.com yesterday, and they called me this morning and said that they will ship today.

If you get a chance to buy one, I would jump, because as of now they are very hard to find.

Thanks for the frys.com tip. I ordered an xbox 360 fightpad for pick-up.

[RowdyReiko007]

I believe these pads and sticks are Madcatz biggest hits in a long time so why would they stop making them in an economy like this?

They are definitely rushing more pads and sticks into production asap.

Ding ding ding - they're going to flood the market in April.

[Jackalope]

I say get the stick or stay with the Dual Shock.

[Import]

I need a fight stick for 360 ASAP (Hori, Mad Catz, whatever). Using standard controller is killing the game for me.

I knew I should of went with the PS3 version.

No they don't. I'm looking at the package right now. It says "Collector's Edition."

Not even the Tournament Stick says Limited Edition on it. I believe it reads "Collector's Edition" in the exact same way, but I could be wrong... and I'm too lazy to look at my Tournament Edition box.

are they? we don't have any confirmation of this. Their silence on the matter is really annoying. Especially after all the hype built up by certain people here in the months...actually, half a year leading up to their release.

Statement from MadCatz global communications manager Alex Verrey:

stocks will be “replenished through March, April, and May.” He stressed that MadCatz “are doing everything humanly possible to manufacture more units as quickly as possible” without sacrificing the quality of the TE: FightStick.

“Crucially, we WILL be making more and we aim to ensure that any gamer who wants a stick WILL be able to purchase one,” he added. “we simply ask for a little patience and for you all to stick with us (no pun intended).”

He also tossed up a word of warning. Currently, eBay’s inflated prices for the controller ($255 and up) are laughable, but also the reality of people scrambling because they think the controller is toast. “... may I remind all readers that one should not be forced into purchasing at an inflated price on the false assumption that no more sticks will ever be available.”

[Civickid96]

Just got my Chun-Li and Blanka pads today. I wish I was able to get Ryu and Ken and any 360 version of this but I guess it'll have to wait.

Thanks for the frys.com tip. I ordered an xbox 360 fightpad for pick-up.

Did the same, though I won't know if they did put one aside for me until the store opens.

[macuseros9]

Found one at gamestop last night.
And yes they do say limited edition on the back.

Jesus. Read carefully.

It says Collector's Edition.

Under it, it reads Collector's Edition in French... so it starts with an L (L'collector).

Not Limited Edition.

Not like it really matters. The two are used pretty much interchangeably when it comes to gaming products, and so it is not an indication of their production run.

[darkd75]

Got my Blanka controller today. I finally have a PS3 fightpad for SFIV! I am still waiting for my Akuma from Buy.com. I wonder if I will ever get that one? The PS3 ones seem alot harder to find than the 360 ones....
