I'd rather wait until the sticks arrived if I were you. But it'll be really hard to resist playing. I'm sure that I won't get my stick until a day or two later considering that bestbuy.com keeps changing the shipping date.

It's a long story, but I always buy all the items form a ebay user (I'm not from the US). He is sending me both SFIV games with a PS3 I bought from him last year (it was defective so I sent it back). But the sticks are too big (I bought 4) so he needs to make another shipping.

The Ps3 with the games will be arriving first, but I know this guy, it will take like 15 days to ship me the rest of the stuff.

It's not that bad though, I'm pretty confident with the PS3 pad, but not so much with the 360 one...I'm willing to play all of you and a shitty d-pad won't stop me.

Although, I already bought another PS3, so maybe I can replace the PS3 for the sticks in that shipping...We'll see....

Over at SRK, there was a BB worker on the West Coast whose store got a few in. I checked two by me, no dice, but I'm all the way over in NJ.

I'll be going shopping around Best Buys today to see if they have any of the pads. I'm in San Diego and MadCatz is based here I believe, so I'm hoping the stores here have them already.

I'm getting weary of best buy and the TE sticks. They keep moving the date back. Soon it's going to be into March.

Holy crap. Things have been getting slightly less safe around here but I'm still shocked (as proof a former co-worker of mine went nuts and killed his girlfriend and himself last week). The store I'm talking about is right by Tropical Park a little north of the Westchester area.

It's a safe area but so is Kendall. I'm on alert whenever I'm not at home regardless. Thanks for the concern!

Weird. EB/Gamestop.com says the 360 Fightpad is ready to ship while the PS3 Pad still says 2/10.

hot hot hanuman-on-man action
quick question, regarding general tourny rules

taken from the EVO website:
"# Hardware macros, rapid-fire, or other hardware assisted mechinsims are strictly forbidden. "

so would the TE stick be banned or do you just have to turn turbo off? i hate the idea of turbo/macros but it would suck ass if the TE stick isn't tourny legal...

I think it's been mentioned in te reviews a couple of times. You just have to have the turbo off and lock the buttons, so you wouldn't accidentally hit turn it on during a tourney.

sorry i didn't see it before, thanks!

I'm almost positive that Best Buy isn't even getting TE's and they are going to take my money and go out of business.

People can usually tell if you're cheating to boot. Offline it's not that hard to detect someone using macros or auto. Online it's a bit tougher, but doable.

We'll start a riot for you if that happens. I'm sure they'll get their sticks, but they probably don't know when themselves so they pushed it back.

yeah, I'd imagine the officials would hold the turbo button down for five seconds, effectively clearing any turbo memory, lock the switch and you'd be good to go

at least, i'd hope...

SF2...I was planning on playing if it were 4...then when he said AC I had hopes it would be 3...but since the place is across town from where I live I don't plan to drive out to play SSF2T on PS2 when they could have had it on the 360/PS3 with HD Remix...
