<i>In theory</i> you should be able to pick up the pad from GAME, etc (probably not some of the smaller stores, though, I would guess), but MadCatz have been worryingly non-forthcoming with exact details of stock levels or availability.

Even their own online store has stopped taking preorders, but no-one seems to know exactly what this means - a certain number could have already been set aside for orders placed by GAME for stock to sell in their stores, but equally that stock could already have "sold out" to preorders in GAME stores.

In the US, Gamestop is still taking preorders both online and in store for the pad, afaik, but has stopped preorders for both sticks. I would take this to mean that MadCatz has made it clear that there will be plenty of stock for the fightpads, which would make sense as they're far cheaper to put together.

I'm not sure they appreciated quite how popular SFIV was going to be, for some bizarre reason! ^^;
