At the risk of being shameless and annoying (well, when aren't I?), has anyone in the northeast (MA/CT/NH/ME) gotten word that your local GameStop has the game in?

Guys who pre-ordered @ Gamestop, cancel and go out to the stores today.... you have your marching orders... NOW GO!

I would, but all the stores in my area say tomorrow. Blerg.

I pre-ordered with overnight shipping to avoid this shit. Thanks, GameStop.

Not worried about it living up here in AK. Shit ALWAYS arrives the next shipping day, so no CE until tommorow afternoon for me =/
lol, whereabouts in AK? I grew up in Anchorage.

My nearby GameCrazy said they should have it available this afternoon, and I might even score a TE stick. God, I hope so!

I just went to the store to trade in some crappy ass games... and in the 4 minutes I was at the counter... the dude got 10 (10!!!!!) calls asking about SF4 and 5 people lined up behind me asking the same thing....

Absolutely nuts.

God, if I had a magazine rack in my house, that shit would be getting pushed over right about now.

Seriously. This is one of the few times when I am dying to get a game on launch day, and I can't.

Its bad enough I have to sit next to a girl with a DD rack who wears insanely low cut shirts every Tuesday and Thursday morning, all I can think about is touching those puppies... add in the SF4-less day, and the tension is killing me.

That's why when I pre-order online, I make sure it's at-store pick up. I'm paranoid like that >_>;

i preordered mainly for the bonus and the online store usually fulfills it. my coworker preorders at the B&M stores all the time but he's been screwed over for the preorder bonuses a lot lately. i guess i'll just have to wait a lil bit longer.

Just picked up my preorder of the PS3 CE! I'm gonna relax, put on my Ryu headband, eat my Chick-fil-A, and then the fight will begin again. :D

If anybody wants to spar, PSN: takuguy
 
Wow good to see so many people interested in this game. Sucks I won't have it till tomorrow, but thats ok.

I picked up a chun-li fightpad last night as well. I already have a Ken one, been breaking it in with SSF2THD and Sonics Genesis Collection. Highly recommend picking one up if you aren't getting a stick or plan on playing with the default controller.

That makes me happy. I hope this sells big and paves the way for SF5.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK all over my face CAPGOD

This game is EXACTLY what old-school SFII fans wanted.

Online works good. Lagged against some Japanese guy, but he only had 1 connection bar thingy. Played against a US guy with 1 bar and had 0 problems. (Got owned by both, lol)

The opening CG is fukken epic, and i skipped some anime-ish intro when I started arcade Mode. You can opt to let online people jump in a fight you during your arcade mode playthrough.

Overall, it looks gorgeous and you, alas, will soon part with $60

Go buy it

Even the $40 pads are going to be rare?!? What the dang?!?!?!?

I've heard the same from a gamestop manager. He said they only got one shipment with enough to cover pre-orders and 2 extras and would not be getting another shipment. I am keeping my chun-li pad sealed, in case they do get really rare.
 
I've got the PS3 Collectors Edition & the Strategy Guide on preorder at Play, plus the Ryu Madcatz pad on Amazon & the SE Madcatz Arcade Stick at GameSeek & I bet that none of them will bloody get to me on the 20th! ]:(

It's a good thing I got a HMV voucher from Christmas that I haven't used yet so I can get myself the 360 version :D

My GS had 1 Blanka pad left but I didn't grab it. I have sticks, and if I were to get a pad, I'd want the Chun-Li one to match my PS2 anniversary Chun-Li pad.

I put one of my extra fight pads for sale on Ebay, and some dude bid it up to $70... people can't get enough, apparently.

Damn, I should run back and see if I can pick up that Akuma one then. I have work too do and it's so cold out.......
 
I just imagined that at least ONE input device for an extremely popular fighting game that will probably have fairly long legs would be permanently in print. I mean, come on.

So..is their any difference between the PS3 version and 360 version. I am torn at the moment. For one, all of my friends have a 360 but I can't stand the controls for it. I fail way too often in SFIIHD on LIVE, mostly due to controller error. I am not going to buy a new controller just to play this. So The PS3 game seems like a sure bet, but I don't have any friends on PSN..so it's going to be really lonely.
