I've been hearing reports for the past week that backorders from various stores have been getting filled again. Sounds to me like more goods are shipping as we speak. I suspect it'll be a while before there's enough to have taken care of the back orders and THEN have goods sitting on the shelf for the average person to pick up. If you really want one, might be worth placing a pre-order to be sure.

I think Gamestop and Gamecrazy both are. Not sure about Amazon right now.

I don't think anyone is accepting more pre-orders until they clear their current backorders (which is a smart and reputable way to do business).  I think once the flow of new sticks catches up to and clears the current deficit, people will presumably put their ordering pages back up. 

Also for the record, I hear once in a while that Canada (or Mexico, or wherever) is somehow getting "screwed" based on geographical location.  That's a Mad Catz question, really, but the short answer is that there are no "preferred" territories.  The sticks are simply sold out everywhere, no matter where you are.

It's not a rumor.  There hasn't been a single canadian who has recevied a TE stick locally and only a handful who have received an SE.   When you do find a person who has received a TE stick locally in Canada please inform us with proof and we will gladly shutup.  Until then "I(We) call BS on this one."

Yeah I aint angry about no canadian get any sticks, that to me dont matter. I simply want a stick, Sick of playing Pad its costing me matches. + I damn well saved for this scince.. well forever. And I'm sorry but I have to say I'm Supremly dissapointed in mad catz, but then again who is not ? I really ponder how they stay in bussiness with their track record. And This might sound innapropriate but I mean I think it was a TERRIBLE idea to only bring out 3000 and screw like 95% of players from touching 1 for 8 months, seems like some elitist bull^&*% to me. 

But regardless, I will try to wait a little longer or snag one from ebay, UGH god dammit inflation for the loss. =/ But if I get sick of waiting I'll prolly just blow it on something else, and mad catz can shove their stick in their unmentionables for being moronic and making only enough for the ''PROS'' or the rich people who could afford it 1st.
