Cross edge is a turn based RPG, nothing to do with fighting.
FF should be out in Sep for PAL, but it's not solid yet.
Never heard of that site.

Yes.. it finally arrived.. after 5 months of searching and waiting.
Hoping others who have ordered from Gamestop recently have received their TE sticks.
The only thing I'm slightly peeved about is that the packaging came in slightly damages in one corner. Gut feeling has it that UPS was responsible..considering the delivery man literally threw the package on the floor in greeting me this morning..
Hopefully the stick is in working order, I won't be able to test the stick out untill a few weeks later..

I recd my stick from gamestop, perfect condition very sweet. Yippy..
Also can anyone confirm, Game.com.au will have Te sticks in July in stores, recommended retail would be between $350-$380. I was informed today by Game staff in Parramatta Westfields. Its still not in there order systembut they will get it because of its popurality.

Thats great to hear afty.  Just a quick question.. how was your TE box packaged? All i Had was 4 air packets on the top of the box (opening), but nothing else around the other 5 sides. Which has caused damages on 1 corner. Did you have foam lining around your box?

Thats a shame considering gamesmen have it for $299.95 and JB had it for $249.95. Madcatz have kept the same RRP and our AU dollar is fairly good atm.
Seems they want to make it available and charge at an inflated price!
I wouldn't buy it from them unless Madcatz said that were not making anymore...

Probably judging by how many people came in straight after SF IV's release and asked about it.
I asked a few people that worked at the same store, at different times and finally spoke to the manager who knew what i was talking about but said it wasn't coming in and to have their Atari Arcade stick instead  . I'm quite content with the TANK stick i purchased awhile back. I'd look at a second stick (to make local matches fair when i have mates over), but only if the stick was $250 or under.

I had similar packaging but lucky there was no damage box.May be person who loads unloads parcel from freight is responsible for the damage.

Hmm wonder if gamestop allow a 2nd order of the stick since I've got one on the way already. I still gotta cancel with gamesmen as well and hopefully I can get my refund.

Well in Japan at the moment, going to see if I can ship back a few of those Hori Real Arcade Pro (PS3) for some friends back in Melbourne.
At the very least I'll definitely get a few more Sanwa arcade buttons to mod my Madcatz TE sticks.

about $44AU for the cheapest shipping method to australia.

I got all my parts from Lizardlick (FINALLY!) yesterday afternoon.
That means I can begin modding the FS3...just have to go back and do my homework all over again, because I've plain forgotten most of the stuff!
Will likely tackle this after exams during the break, no chance of getting around to it in the next few weeks.

Thanks, though I already have a bunch of them bookmarked, including that one
Just a matter of sitting down and making sure I'm familiar with it all before the big operation. Still, a +1 to you kind sir for your helpfulness!

So anyone else here still waiting on JB to ship a Mad Catz TE stick? The last I heard they were meant to be shipping today. My order's not changed status but I noticed they updated the PS3 page and removed the intended ship date.

^ I didn't get my email until about 7 pm that night it was about to ship. Some people got it a couple days after.

Capcom store will be selling the entire range of Madcatz SFIV peripherals next week, and they now support International shipping.
If you're using firefox make sure you before you checkout, you need to navigate away from the checkout. This should trigger a popup window that will present you with a tiny survey asking why you didn't continue with the purchase. Upon completing the survey you'll get 10% off your order. Not sure if this is still working though.

From what I've heard from my friends, there isn't too much difference in functionality between the two and that the difference is mostly cosmetic. Seimitsu buttons are clear and can compliment custom artwork much better than Sanwa by being able to insert portions of the custom artwork into the button itself.

Not true, the colours/ transparency are offered by both brand.
There is some subtle difference in the stiffness and feel of the buttons, it's really down to personal preference.
