Ungh, got a box from Fedex today. I ordered a MvC2 360 TE, guess what was in my box? A PS3 SFIV Round 2. MarkMan, who do I need to contact to get this cleared up? I tried calling tech support, but I work the hours tech support is available. Managed to find some free time at work to make the...

The actual buttons died and not a loose connection? That's pretty bad for a TE stick. Just seems weird that 3 different buttons failed...

That's the first I've heard about the actual shell cracking. But yes, without upgrades, the feel of the thing is so disappointing. I have 2 of them (both bought with the intention of modding, as I already had the parts in my possession), and once you mod them, they are nice. What's...

Thanks OP. Went in for 2 with my friend, got free shipping. If you can find someone else to go in the deal with you, you can get by with only paying tax (free shipping on orders over $49)

I am with you there! That also gives us about a month to enjoy ME2 until FFXIII hits. I'm more excited for these releases than anything late last year...

Mine shipped yesterday, UPS. Should arrive today.

Thanks, OP. Got the CE DA:O for $53. Better than waiting for tomorrow and using the 10% coupon from Best Buy. Now I can gift my regular DA:O to my buddy for xmas.

The honest truth is, in a lot of cases, you get what you pay for. I'm amazed that people think $1500 for a 40+ inch LCD is overpriced. When I was shopping for a 50" tv, I was lucky to walk away paying $2k for sony's SXRD. Not to mention, quality of parts is TOTALLY different. I've had Sony...

Yep, got the code in my email before going to work.

That's the question I've been wondering. I sent an email to namco last week and got a response today that since it's amazon's promotion, they're the ones that should be giving me the code. Some of the other people who got their codes from namco got lucky.

Yes, I HATE amazon's blackfriday/and even goldbox deals because it's impossible for the average user to get them. The first time I got burned was a few years ago trying to get a 360 for $100 less than retail. Servers were dead because EVERYONE was trying to get it. Then last year, I couldn't...

Still haven't gotten a working code, but hey...at least we don't have to keep re-entering information before we submit for free codes. That would be the worst...

Preorder bonuses usually come outside of the gamebox. Honestly, I wouldn't be too worried about ethics here. They're using preorder bonuses to try to get you to commit to buying the game. Buying it from multiple retailers and then returning the most expensive purchases is sort of a gray area...

That's what I'm doing...only I'm going to add in a universal PCB in there too and have my stick work for most systems.

Ungh, figures I'd miss it. I was even home during that hour too. Bleh!

Ahh. That's a new one to me. I never heard that anywhere; as far as I know, the arcade version also uses the 4 button scheme.

Just for the record and anyone else who's interested, the modding isn't really modding, it's more like hacking. There's a small bit of risk involved, but if you've ever installed software on your pc, it's the same thing. This "modding" doesn't require you to open up your wii or do anything of...

I'm not sure about the hori stick that plugs into the wii remote, but you can configure gamecube controls without problem. You just need to be able to read kanji. (I don't know why they use the button -> action mapping instead of action -> button mapping ) Also worth noting, all the mini...

If you can wait long enough, a hack will come along, but waiting also means not updating. The best analogy is like an antivirus program being updated to catch and detect all trojans. It takes a while to see how the newest "release" works, and then how to work around it.

I'm in for 1, thanks OP. (I'm going to mod the heck out of this thing, I really only want it for the case and the pcb. The joystick and buttons are coming out right away)
