The stores won't order any from MadCatz if you didn't preorder.

you could say he'd return... empty handedMThanded said:
MadCatz released a PR yesterday to their UK press saying that they underestimated demand in the UK for the TE and that they are trying to make more before the launch... I'm expecting them to make a similar announcement for the North American region soon.
As for crossplatform support -- currently, there is no official way to do it between PS3 and 360. But they should work on PC (I mean the 360 one will for sure, but I think the PS3 one will as well.)
The SFIV pads are pretty slick too, but unless you're really adament about dpad playing, they're kind of redundant and at $40, I'd rather just drop the additional $$ to get a stick. They feel good though... super thin... just wish they were wireless.

First of all, the price has been known for a lot longer than two weeks. Even if it wasn't completely official, we knew the price as far back as Dec. 8th. That was when I reserved mine. And like I tell everyone who was on the fence, you should have pre-ordered at Amazon. It costs nothing and you could have canceled anytime prior to the product shipping.
Oh, and you can still pre-order from here: http://store.videogamecentral.com/xbox360-sf4-arcade-stick-tournament-edition.html

Funny choice.
I chose my game due to much better online system with xbl. Party, friends list integration, easier to organize people together.
I am getting CE for ps3 and normal for 360 though. Will be playing the 360 version.
What should be my button layout for kof XI on a 6 button 3 row stick?
this thread is so huge so sorry since this has probably been asked.
but what is the general consensus on this stick?

i see that its madcatz but i remember reading that they got their act together. seems like a better option than getting the pad. a simple yes or no is good, gracias

It's not that great quality but it's super easy to mod up to great quality is what I am reading.Ashhong said:

I think different people will say different things, but if I were you I'd use a Tekken style layout, punches up top, kicks down below. Some people might say to use:
-BCD
A
Or something like that, but I reckon it'd be too confusing. Pretty sure that some cabinets in Japan use a Tekken style layout as well. Just something like:
-AC
BD
Whats wrong with Happ Controls? I use to buy my arcade parts from them all the time; everyone seems to hate their products.

I've been trying to pinpoint exactly when the tide turned, because IIRC, there was once real resistance towards JP parts but that ended a few years after arcades here collapsed. If I ask my buddies who grew up with arcades, they all prefer Happ.
The lack of inexpensive options for US sticks in past years along with playing younger people who didn't touch joysticks until the PS2 era has lessened my resistance to Sanwa but Seimitsu's the tenuous sweet spot for me.
So, I just bought the Fighting Stick EX 2 Arcade Xbox 360 Hori. I know it isn t the best stick, but I need a stick now for HD Remix. I have the SF IV TE Stick preordered but don t want to wait another 2 months to play HD Remix properly.
I fail horribly at consistently doing specials. I am playing as Sagat and my uppercut works about 50% when i try to input it in a real fighting situation. I am especially bad executing specials on player 2 side, my thumb just can t handle fast precise movements from right to left.
I really hope I can improve with such a low quality stick, but atm I hope that any stick is better then the controller analogstick.

BTW, an LS-32 can easily be swapped into an HRAP3 with no modifications right?
I finally managed to pre-order the SFIV standard stick from EB Canada. I went with the PS3 version, but I'm wondering if it requires batteries. Since my TV is just right on my desk, I'm totally fine with having the stick wired. I'd actually switch for the 360 version if that one doesn't require batteries and the PS3 stick does.

Joy! (;-)) It's stated by MadCatz PR that the TE is going back into production. Wonder if MarkMan can give some confirmation, and whether the addition production allotment will only be enough to fill the already over-flowed pre-orders, or will it be enough to allow various retailers to open pre-orders again.

If it is not restricted by Capcom, is MadCatz really going to let go their first chance to sell more high quality premium sticks & make more money?

Make a locked amount, guarantee all being sold and guarantee profit.
Make an open amount by listening to people on message boards who insist that they will all run out and buy one but then when release comes stock is left on the shelf that sits and sits.
It is smart business to help madcatz build a new reputation, so that when they do release another stick people will pay attention.
