Did the SF Anniversary Akuma controller actually get released?

[PsyClerk]

I can't seem to find it. Wanted to buy it at a B&M but the only ones I found were Ken and Ryu. GameStop said they had one Chun-Li that was pre-sold, and no one else has even seen the Akuma controller personally. I see a couple of online places supposedly carry it (not big name stores) but their product detail pages look a little out of date. Anyone actually get an Akuma controller?

In the thread a while back, people were picking up the Akuma controller from Blockbuster.

 

[CaseyRyback]

like Spidey said the Akuma controller is exclusive to blockbuster and gamerush

 

[MasterLin1]

My blockbuster has three, I'm still playing with the idea if I should get one or not.

 

[willardhaven]

Yeah, I saw a ton of the Akuma controller.

 

[PsyClerk]

Bah, no wonder. I have no GameRush and my nearest Blockbuster only had Ryu.

If you find yourself on the West Coast, the Napa, California BBuster had a box left not too long ago hiding on their front counter. I already bought my copy. Napa is too retarded to have any sort of gaming population so I expect it's going to be there awhile. I'm probably the only person in town that bought one....

They have the Akuma controlller. Of course, you will have to pay shipping, but if you want it I would say go for it.

I have an Akuma controller I bought at Gamerush, it is so awesome that I don't have the heart to open it, i have the box on display now.

 

[kristianator]

people are selling the damn thing on ebay for 40

i see a bunch of these at the few blockbusters in my city

Check Blockbuster anyway. There are no Gamerushs around here, but I've found plenty of Akuma controllers.
