Pads and Sticks sold out again on Play as of this afternoon. I ordered mine last night but have a feeling I wont get them

I'm now relying on shops in Dublin city center having the pads on friday morning :P Amazon UK are being colossal dicks with the stock they have.

If I don't get one I guess I'll not worry too much, will just have to train harder on the 360!

Feckin'ell, sold out yet again!

A-Trak · 17-02-2009 5:39pm

Anyone any idea when Play should disptach the pads/sticks and what sort of wait time after postage?
I preordered back in January & my orders status says "Order Placed" and they have yet to bill me too.

Don't really have much faith in them arriving Friday

I've a bad feeling I'll totally miss out on these because I'm heading off on firday morning

Are they not going to keep making them? I thought they just didn't realise the potential demand on the initial stock.

A-Trak · 18-02-2009 11:09am

Play shipped both my pads this morning so there's an outside chance anyone who ordered from play might have them for Friday

Q_Ball · 18-02-2009 12:03pm

Play-asia sold out. Raging I didn't order it yesterday

The arcade sticks gamestop are getting in are about 50 euro, and I bet they will play like 50 euro too. Avoid.

Got a pic/name for those Gamestop ones?

After all, Saulabi (Korean) are serviceable, and they cost only about €30 (+p&p).

Mine was shipped today also (Ken pad), although I doubt they will be here Friday. I'll be happy to get them Tuesday next week.

I *may* get a Tournament Edition stick if a local retailer comes through for me.

just checked on my break there in gamestop in the pavillions in swords. I go up to the counter and ask "Do you have the madcatz fightpads in"... to which he replies "yeah we have some in stock, going on sale on friday" :eek: so I ask to see them, and what he actually has are Hori fightsticks :mad: I mean how could he get that wrong. I said "No, madcatz? you know with a D-Pad?" Once I got the puzzled look I just turned and left.

EDIT: btw, the ones they have in stock are these ones

I bought the fightstick in gamestop on my lunch. Ill see about ordering the mad catz pad once theyre not ridiculously sold out everywhere. I dont care what the stick is like because no matter how abysmally bad it could possibly be, its STILL going to be better than the 360 dpad

Batesy · 18-02-2009 3:12pm

Whats so bad about the hori anyway?? Looks pretty decent to me.

dunno, seems fine to me, i guess its prob not as good as the 99 euro jobs. I hope its okay anyway, as i say it has to be better than the standard 360 dpad

Jim · 18-02-2009 3:19pm

My CE edition shipped this morning from Play but my two pads were changed to "Preorder" even though I ordered them 18 hours before they were taken off the site again

Are they selling them now or just taking pre-orders for Friday?

in gamestop in town, henry st had 2 left for sale, one of which i put full payment on (pre order). So unless the other is gone, you might get one there. The gamestop on liffey st only had 1 in stock, and the guy said he wasnt taking pre orders on it, and would jsut sell it on first come first served basis.

well I just prefer a d-pad. It depends on what your used to. If you've played fight games in arcades a lot then you'll be at home with a stick. I've always used D-Pads so it's what I prefer. Plus I really want the fightpad for use with the PC also and my ROM collections, the 360 controller I have just isn't cutting it.

Fnz · 18-02-2009 5:21pm

Fightpad was shipped by Shopto yesterday. No word from Asda on the game yet... was expecting Play.com to be slow with delivery (again) so went with Adsa.

Wonder if I receive the Ryu pad... it's the only one pictured on the Shopto site but may just be a placeholder for the whole range.

can anyone help me put in a 360 pad into hrap2?

Are you trying to dual-mod?

I tried that & got frustrated to all hell, so I ended up ripping the HRAP'S PCB & having all the wires going to a DB-15 (panel mount) connector -- the connector's cheap in Peats, but the cable...

koneko · 18-02-2009 7:48pm

If anyone's looking for them, Gameseek.co.uk seem to have some of the pads in stock (Ryu, Chun Li).

0ubliette · 18-02-2009 8:32pm

nice find koneko, ordered :cool:

ordered a ryu hope it goes through *crosses fingers*

OctavarIan · 18-02-2009 9:32pm

Ordered the game and Ryu pad too, though I'm not fussy about which pad I actually get. Cheers for that link I was dreading looking around town on friday for one!

koneko · 18-02-2009 10:49pm

No worries. I ordered a Ryu pad too, hah. Hopefully Gameseek aren't terribly slow

sweet!!! just ordered a ryu there myself. Lets hope its not an error and they ship out tomorrow

Retr0gamer · 18-02-2009 11:37pm

They won't ship the sticks to ireland and I'm 3 euro short on a 3v card for two pads or a stick anyway

balls might order two pads tomorrow, can get the game when I'm back from holidays. And there's me going on about the virtues of sticks

0ubliette · 19-02-2009 11:23am

gameseek shipped my controller this morning!!
