Still no word from Amazon yet though, which i have another TE stick, game, and 2 pads on order. I dont really want to amend this order as there has been reports as doing so pushes you back to the end of the pre-order que!!!

When did you order from Play? When they came on this week, or were they on prior to that?

Got 4 Fightsticks coming from Game, so that's me and my mates (and this weekend's fun) sorted and guaranteed... but I'd really like a TE.

Ah, I wondered why I couldn't did. After about 20 mins trying ,in a trial mode, I finally managed to do one Shinryuken but couldn't repeat it.

I might have to look into one of these pads.

Oh FFS!!

Sat here at PC happily thinking about when the 360 version shipped from Play.com is going to arrive when I get an email from Sendit.com saying my 360 version had despatched too!!

Looks like I forgot I had it on order with them!!

Tom Whitaker · 18-02-2009, 18:26

All just showing as Pre-ordered in my account.

That explains why my order tracking suddenly stopped. Bit naughty of them as they had it as "out for delivery" for a while.

I'm not having much luck with couriers this week, My US ps3 CE made it over from Kentucky to the Midlands early this morning, so I thought I'd have it to play soon. But for some reason it's been shipped back over to the states and is now sitting in Philadelphia

Moldiver · 18-02-2009, 18:43

just checked mine and now it shows two consignment numbers. Looks like they must have changed the old one. Still says please call though. We'll see tomorrow I guess

My tournament stick was posted from GAME today, along with my game, strategy guide and SE stick. I cannot wait to get this baby, think I am more excited about the daft sticks than the game though lol.

Does anyone know, is there a way for a lobby of people to play this on live? I usually play on Live with 4 of my mates, is there an easy way for us all to play each other? I wondered if there is a knockout option.

Moldiver · 18-02-2009, 19:13

hopefully on friday the championship update will open up lobbies. unconfirmed I think though

eye__writ · 18-02-2009, 19:30

Ah pants. Can't seem to get a pad for a reasonable price now and don't fancy playing this with the 360 controller, but it's already been despatched so it'll have to go to CEX. Shame.

5pm on Monday. I had to call them yesterday to confirm my details though as part of a credit check.

25 Feb 2009 - 26 Feb 2009 for my pads from Amazon !!!

Lucky my shopto one is on the way.....

eye__writ · 18-02-2009, 20:51

Well I've ordered a couple of pads. Loathe to spend so much for the sake of just one game, especially as I traditionally suck at Street Fighter, but at least I'll have another one for 2-player action, or if I start to regret buying I can keep one sealed to help minimise the pain incurred.

The thing is, it's hard to knock the 360 control pad as it's amazing for most games, but jeez it's gash for this sorta stuff.

msm13579 · 18-02-2009, 21:27

got my pad from shopto today, and i might be the only one who cares, but initial impressions for 2d shooters are not that good, it's too spongy and not that much like a saturn pad, might just need to get used to it though.

internetuser · 18-02-2009, 21:39

playing now with normal pad... good but the pad is terrible
