    Good luck with that, the form email on their website is broken and it's tough to find any actual email addresses for them

    I see what you mean.

    A phone call may be in order.

    If you get through to anyone useful, ask them to help out with prizes for the Marvel launch event :pac:

    Per Item (Best Way):£16.80
    VAT: £22.37

    Of all the Madcatz TE's, I'd say #2 (All-black Round 2) is the best looker.

    If you wanna be REALLY cool*, you could get buttons to make it look like a VSHG (dark-hai balltop, 2x yellow Sanwa 24mm, 4x dark-hai Sanwa 30mm, 2x button plugs).


    *may or not may not happen overnight

    For pad players:
    PDP (formerly Pelican) have just released their Marvel pad in the US.

    $40
    Just like an actual arcade machine, micro switch activators have been used for the thumb stick and the front 6 buttons to give the user that true arcade feel and accuracy when playing fighting games with this controller.

    The thumb stick is custom designed and constructed to act like a real arcade joystick but with the more comfortable and compact feel of a thumb pad.

    The 2 x 3 action button facing is ideal for all of the AAA fighting game titles out there, making the Versus Fighting Pad the ultimate choice for fighting games.

    No idea on when it'll be available here, but I suppose you could badger your local game shops/sites.

    Has anyone here ordered a TE stick from QFonic? If so, just wondering how long delivery takes to Ireland.

    It's only valid for Gameshark UK and they state...
    I live outside of the United Kingdom. Can I order from Store.GameShark.net?
    Store.GameShark.net currently only sells within the United Kingdom. At present we are only able to deliver goods to the registered UK billing address of your credit or debit card.

    It's 20% off, not 20% price, and since the round 2s cost £150 on there it's not exactly a great deal.


  • Registered Users Posts: 320 ✭✭liamnojo92


    Got the stick today!:eek: Sent on Monday so just two days for delivery and what a beauty it is, Gonna give it a go in training mode now :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    gamesbite is the worst site
    first it errors my ccard, first accepted my order, then cancelled my order

    THEN it didnt accept my card but accepted my order, then declined

    now they send me an email saying my product should be delivered, please rate their service?

    ****IN -1 for service, spas


  • Registered Users Posts: 320 ✭✭liamnojo92


    Yeah something seems dodgy about that website anyway the sticks are back in stock if you want to buy from qfonic

    I wanted the super one too but those xbox coloured buttons put me off they make the stick look horrid.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    160 is a bit steep i reckon, specially because that gamerbite is selling it for 100

    Yeah, as I've said several times, I managed to do it once on my SE, which is basically the same job, after a night out on the beer!

    Let us know if you get your stick Placebo. I'd read some pretty dodgy things about the site before so I didn't want to risk the order but it is over £30 cheaper than Qfonic (when shipping is taken into consideration) so if it arrives I may give it a shot. :)
