Not sure what you are laughing at. If you preordered, they are now shipping. I was just giving a heads-up to let folks know that Amazon has them in their warehouse finally and is beginning to ship them out. So, yes, it will be in stock on the February 3rd ship date.

the hraps have already got sanwa sticks, and the buttons can easily be replaced with sanwas without any soldering

Also, if any of you guys had to choose between a Blanka Fight Pad or a Hori EX2, which would you use? (I'm a casual fighter fan and want to get better, but I don't want to drop a lot of money into a stick...)
Personally I'd go with the EX2 if it were only out of those 2. Can't use control pads =/

If my amazon preorder fails, Im planning on buying a regular FightStick and modding it with Japanese parts.
Whats the difference between this

and the Tourney stick?

Yeah, I saw that. I don't think any of us are going to know who is getting their sticks until we either get called into the store we ordered at or get our tracking numbers. This is exactly why I told people not to cancel their other orders when the Capcom site opened up theirs.
I've got one ordered from both Amazon and Capcom, one of them better come through.

Madcatz really underestimated the demand for these things.

Besides the obvious made by Hori, not Mad Catz, I believe the main difference is that the HRAP EX uses Hori buttons instead of full Sanwa like the TE (the Joystick is Sanwa on the EX?) and it's not as rare/1337.
(I think that's it, I'm sure the stick elitists will chime in

Looks like speculation. Nobody knows anything at this point. And a lot of us have multiple preorders at different places to help with the unpredictability. That said, Capcom was one of the last places to put up preorders and they've had problems delivering things on time (remember the Pheonix Wright fiasco).

Anyone know how long the cord is?

You know, I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse over preordering the TE stick. See, money's tight, HOTD Overkill and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection are coming in the next week or two, and I haven't even ordered the SFIV CE yet.
I'm thinking of canceling my preorder for the TE stick, getting the three above games, and just getting the regular Mad Catz stick when I get the cash and modding it with Sanwa parts when I get the money to do that. Thoughts?

Considering I only put about 2 weeks of regular use on my 360 EX2 before it started having button problems, I can't recommend it as a purchase at MSRP. After about 2 months of use my RT button failed completely and I lost my roundhouse button. Anyone with a little soldering experience can fix these kinds of problems, but I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to bother with it.
With that being said I'm just a random guy on the internet. Some people may very well have enjoyed long periods of constant use with no issues, but I personally never purchase another EX2.

Interested to know this about the lag as well. Surely it's only present with software BC. Not sure how hardware BC would introduce it, but I ain't no engineer.

It's actually worse than that guy says in that the PS2 BC lag still exists with 480i analog output. Three frames alone doesn't seem that much but when you combine it with HDTV lag (2-4 frames on sets I've used) all of a sudden the cumulative 5-7 frame lag becomes very noticeable in many games.

5-7 frames? It must be like playing the DC port of 3rd Strike except every game is like that.beermonkey@tehbias said:

Yeah, I got that today too. >_<. From BB's delay to my pad order from Amazon not coming until the 25th, I'm not going to have anything to use come day one when I get SF4 damnit and I refuse to use the 360 controller to play it, too frustrating for me.

Thanks MM. That's interesting. Didn't realize that.
Man, I hate this bright dividing line between old and new tech. Stick with old tvs and fail to get the most out of your hot new hardware. Move to the hot new tv and fail to get the most out of the older games you've spent no small amount of money on.
NCS has opened preorders for the 360 Death Smiles RAP EX at $239.90:

Mark Man, you have not lied... that SF4 TE stick is sexy as hell. I haven't had a chance to plug it in and play - tomorrow night I'll get a chance to check it out with SF4... but the weight and feel of it is awesome!

amazon.co.jp exclusive I think...haunts said:
Shipping from Amazon.co.jp to 3rd party in Japan
+ shipping from 3rd party in Japan to NCSX
+ NCSX profit
just a guess i'm not nearly certain if that's the real reason
