Virtua Stick High Grade got Problem

According to Sega, some VSHG are not working properly. (no respond from buttens and stick) Until they find the problem and fix it, they decided to stop the sale.
Currently Japan Amazon took VSHG out from their list.

GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!후럴!!!!!

 

yeah, they should also try to fix the bug of it not working on PS2 BC games on PS3

what's the point of buying a stick for 80 bucks you can't play PS2 fighter on the PS3

 

According to Play-Asia, their estimated arrival date for VSHG sticks is February 26. I have since cancelled my order and gotten the HRAP3 instead. I wish I did it sooner so I could be enjoying VF5 over the weekend.

 

I cancelled my order too /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif

HRAP3 for me.

 

shit Sega does it once again! It's almost predictable...

 

Damn it! I hope NCSX has a dealer near me.

Play Asia sent me that link.

Im going to keep my order and now shove my game away for my birthday in early March or until the stick arrives

 

Here is the email that I have been sent, I am sure that it is similar to others:

Dear Matthew,

this is an e-mail update regarding your pending Virtua Stick High Grade
order (**********).

Despite actual release of the product earlier this week, we have been
informed by our suppliers that due to manufacturing problems with the
controller part of the stick, Sega has only shipped a very small quantity
of this product into the market as of now.

Though we have made large reservations of this product, this means that
our shipment has been delayed until Sega has fixed the manufacturing
issues and ships larger supplies to distributors. Unfortunately, there has
currently been no precise information about the new shipping date, but we
estimate that this might take at least one to two weeks from now.

If you wish to amend or cancel your pending order, please let us have your
instructions in reply to this e-mail. Your reconfirmation won't be needed
if you simply wish to wait for your original order.

As possible alternatives, Play-Asia recommends the Hori product range. The
following two PS3 sticks are in stock now.

HORI Fighting Stick 3

HORI Real Arcade Pro Stick 3

For your information, you can find details about the product delay on the
following Japanese news website (in Japanese):

Yea I got exactly the same email. Funnily it actually cheered me up as Id got sent one two hours before saying delay of 2weeks with no reason. I can live with a product fault as you know that its beyond their control, just have to be patient I guess.

 

I'm glad I ordered the Fighting stick 3 now that I heard about this I should ber getting them Tuesday @ the latest.

 

OMG!!! Kang created a post on VFDC!!! Does this mean you're back in the action Kang??? How's it going man?

Do you have VF5 and/or PS3 sticks yet? Sign onto MSN whenever you can. I'll try to be on there as well. We need to get together some day for VF5!!!

 

Hmm, I got my VF5+high-stick bundle early Thursday morning. However they didn't mention anything about the stick at that time. They happily sold it to me and so far it has by far exceeded my expectations. So far I haven't noticed any malfunctioning at all. It seems as not all of them are defect?

Well well, now I'm gonna play some more with my Lo...ehrm... High stick ^^

 

Right, not all of them.
You got lucky on your stick!!

*evil laugh*

 

Has there been any news about the stick since the recall? When do you think it will hit the market again?

 

I know that most of the online retailers are hoping it is right around Feb 26th or 27th.
