Damn. I'm still getting 123 reg. It must be propagating through DNS to me.

SHAQ-FU.

EDIT: Sorry guys, it was my own DNS. Switched to OpenDNS and it worked.

But be wary of the Availability. Available on order doesn't have a definition in their Help section.

I bought the same stick before the rush and paid 40. With all the shit going down on sticks at the moment, 50 seems pretty good.

Updated the post to reflect the uncertain availability status. Just to define it: Available on Order means that when you order it, they go out and order it from their supplier, who may well have it on order from Hori.

Essentially, you could be waiting a long time for that Arcade Stick, and it could just be a cash retention scheme.

EDIT: I went into more detail because I had to research it myself, and another post to stop someone else needing to look it up is worth it. :3

Honestly, you could probably get one cheaper on eBay at this point. Demand has completely fallen off yet scalpers are still selling loads of EX2s they must have pilfered from Amazon.

They rarely go over £45 now.

Well in that case let them. We're Cheap Arse Gamer; we can wait 'til they lose a tenner per unit.

What's up with these "same shops" having different webpages, som even with different pricing?

www.zavvi.co.uk - www.thehut.com
www.blahdvd.com - www.dvd.co.uk - (I believe there is at least one other mirror)
www.game.co.uk (http://www.game.co.uk) - www.gamestation.co.uk (http://www.gamestation.co.uk)

Why? Whyyyyyy?

Pretty simple really, each pair is owned by the same company. The Hut and Zavvi stores are also the same as other sites (Tesco Entertainment, Asda Entertainment, LoveFilm Store, SendIt and more (http://www.thehutgroup.com/clients/))

And the other one to do with BlahDVD and DVD.co.uk is 101cd.
