But... black and white manual ? They are so cheap.
Its the Regular Edition, maybe the LE is in color? also the whole manual is in Dutch.
Maybe the non English versions are just made cheaper?
Is the regular american in color?
Well I was just in BB and used their item locater with the sku. Shows 0 copies in their warehouse and within 45 miles of las vegas. I'm almost positive more stores won't get it till wed. Although there isn't a street date. Ship date is all tjat matters since it hasn't been shipped and won't ship till 16-17th

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Fucking B&N/Gamestop, guess I won't have a stick by launch, which means I won't really want to play, which means I'm fucking pissed. Where's the best place to try and get an SE stick now? Ugh this who stick thing sucks so much. Amazon, you suck, Capcom, you suck, B&N/Gamestop, both of you suck.

stupid DHL!!!!! I left them a note at home to drop the package at my door step in the apt building (safe apt) building
stupid fucks, they cant read pen on paper notes,... they have to leave a stupid yellow form
I call the office for pick up, take 24h-48h business days for picking it up at their office.. stupid ass DHL crap.
and they are closed on Week-Ends!!

Man, I am really glad I preordered my regular Fightstick. Sounds like some of you guys are in a shitty situation getting sticks.

Funny thing is, I pre-ordered a TE Stick in DECEMBER from Amazon, they just like to fuck everything up I guess.darkressurection said:

This thread is mostly for venting impatience and frustration so I expect the number of posts to peak right around launch and then drop off a cliff as people start playing the game.Guled said:
I was toying with the idea of making a Street Fighter music thread to give people something more productive to do during the wait but I honestly think people would rather continue to complain so I don't expect a lot of participation.

Amazon is great when you need to order things that are already out, but pre ordering from them is hit or miss. I preordered Left 4 Dead from them and their shipping estimate was for a week AFTER the game came out. I canceled that shit and just bought it off Steam.NameGenerated said:

I dont know I'm going to need gaf so I can be a good SFIV Blanka player.
If you live in Atlanta and you get the game lemme know I'll drive anywhere in the state to get the damn game this weekend.
I already got the last chun li gamepad they had at best buy.

If you're serious about competition then be sure to check out the Shoryuken forums as well. Their devotion to fighting games they have is borderline fanatic. They also have local meetup threads for SFIV.ChrisGoldstein said:

If you ordered on B&N really late then yea you won't get it by launch but if you got it by the time they shut off in real stores etc.. then you should.NameGenerated said:

For everyone hating on Amazon: I preordered Persona 4 and it gave me a ship date for a week after the game released. It shipped two days before and got there on the day it hit stores.
I'm not saying the sticks will be delivered on the correct day, but no one seems to have any idea what is going on with Amazon, so there is no need to get all pissy because they haven't sent out sticks BEFORE they are dated.
Where the fuck is mah stick?!

Ok I understand that, and I did, but they shouldn't have said they were in stock and got my hopes up.TurtleSnatcher said:

Yea, you and I pre-ordered from the same store and you were able to get mine and I wasn't. Despite the fact that I was the first one to pre-order there. I called today and they said they still don't have them so I might just opt for a custom Sanwa stick with seimitsu buttons that works on both consoles. It'll cost me the same as a TE.

I still don't get how the fuck that happened. You would think that all the sticks would come in at the same time. I think you are probably right on the custom costing the same as a TE. I still don't get why 360 sticks came in and PS3 didn't, it doesn't make any sense.GalacticAE said:
There are not enough *facepalms* *bangs head on wall* gifs in this world...
I wanted the 360 CE and retailers told me they wouldn't get it. I decided to order SFIV from Amazon.co.uk, quite cheap too. About two days later they suddenly open pre-orders for Street Fighter IV's 360 CE. I just checked and the Dutch store I would've ordered it from ships tommorow!
What's the ETA on Amazon.co.uk? Any of you guys ordered it there or got a shipping confirmation, it still says February 20 instead of February 14 on Amazon.co.uk

I got the e-mail as well. The sticks situation is a total letdown. I wanted to have my stick ready for when the game arrived at least and now that isn't even going to happen.dfyb said:what the fuuuuuck
There's been a change to the release date for your pre-ordered item.
The new release date is 03/01/2009.
