according to famitsu news, all they did was add a sticker on the box j/k /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/whistle.gif

hopefully play-asia gets their batch soon.

 

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

That's great news for a lot of people. Thanks for the link, man.

 

can I get an "F" and a "yeah"

 

It's all about the sticker.

 

hurry up play-asia!

 

VTF, shippig from play-asia into czech republick is $82 for the cheapest way /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

 

Same for Poland, unfortunately. They threat the new EU countries like shit, no idea why... It's not like we're in the middle of Pacific Ocean.

 

They never mentioned what the fault was...
The text just says that the fixed sticks have 2 stickers, one on the box and one on the stick as well as a mark.
People with defective joysticks can still send them back.

 

Play-Asia told me they would have them back in stock within 2 weeks.

 

can i wait 2 weeks...ugh, guess i have to /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

 

when and if anybody recieves their stick...post here!

 

got this email today from ncsx:

" Our suppliers in Japan will be receiving the fixed versions of the Virtua Fighter 5 HG Joystick early next week but please note that pricing will be changed. Our original preorder price was US$88 but please note that it will increase to US$109 to meet higher than expected shipping costs for this large dimensional weight item.

If you are still interested in purchasing the joystick at the higher price, please reply to this email and we will process your preorder when the joysticks arrive next week.

If you are no longer interested in purchasing the joystick, you do not have to respond and we will cancel your preorder if we do not hear from you within 5 days."

wtf...

 

Yes, big wtf.

But I'm just retarded enough to buy it anyway >.<

That stick is just too good.

 

Yeah, I got the same email too. Even still, it is less than getting from Play Asia with the shipping (play asia has a lower base price on this item but a much higher shipping cost since they are coming from HK).

 

i hope play-asia doesnt do something retarded like this to compensate for their recall costs, stupid sega

 

LOL, NCSX is flat out ripping people off, what a load of BS.

 

I would not think so. Especially since some people have already paid. Sending more money for an item that should have been shipped out a month ago is not cool.

 

People have already paid at NCS as well (sudden death and I are two of the many)...it doesn't mean anything. If you don't like the new price, they'll refund you. Sure, it sucks but anyone can do it. Play Asia could do it just as easily (and have). None the less though, it's still cheaper to get it through NCS if you live in the states (the shipping on an item like this from play asia is very high due to weight).

 

The $109 price includes shipping right? At Play-Asia, with 1-4 days Fedex shipping the price is $115.
