^ I got the same shipping date and I ordered mine on Jan. 14th
lol wow.. i did mine on the 14th too.. Amazon almost always quotes a 6day delivery for me, whether i have free or expedited shipping... Ive gotten a few games from them and they usually arrive the thursday or friday after release.. Though i got Resistance2 the day after release and i had free shipping.. ::shrug:: Im just a couple hours south of one of their main distribution centers so maybe im just lucky?
Mine usually get shipped to me quickly since I live within 60 miles of the distribution center. Had a DVD that was suppose to be sent on the 17th but it shipped on the 9th and got it on the 11th.
I work at a local game store and our distributor had all their TE sticks that got ordered shipped to Amazon as soon as they got them pretty much. Our rep asked if he could even snag us one and his boss said he'd get fired. So I know 400 orders from Amazon are definitely getting filled, I don't know if they're getting the rest from other distributors or Madcatz themselves.
Mine says 23ed as well. I'm gona go shoping tommorow and if I find one I'll cancel my amazon order. I don't want to pay shipping just to recive an item very late.
Well, the great thing about Amazon is that if there is any issues with the Fightpads or joysticks, we can just sent them back to Amazon for another one for free. So I rather wait a few extra days for that kind of service.

I guess this was my real question... since people are getting stick already and Amazon ships out the 20th i just wanted to make sure that amazon would be able to fufill the stick orders, since they are still pre-ordering them on their site... i just pre-ordered one yesterday so like I said i will give my money to whoever comes first!!
But i got my strategy guide, I have all my custom sanwa parts and the ps3 ce pre-ordered... all i need now is my stick and HADUKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have an SE stick preordered but I think I'm going to cancel it. The defect rate on these things is just WAY too high...on this board, what, 50-70% of people are having problems? That's ridiculous. Mad Catz had a bad reputation before these sticks and they're doing nothing to help themselves.
Now I have to figure out what I want to do: do I just cancel the SE preorder and be done with it, or do I put that money toward buying an HRAP 3?
I placed an order through Amazon on Feb 10th and this is what i was quoted:
Items not yet shipped: Delivery estimate: February 24, 2009
1 of: Xbox 360 Street Fighter IV FightStick Sold by: Amazon.com, LL
I also opted to pay the extra 10 dollars for next day shipping, but with no weekend shipping this is what i got. If i happen to get it earlier than that i'll be all the more happier.
