Stock Update - PS3 Street Fighter IV 4 Fightpads

We received some good news! We may receive a small wave of ps3 street fighter IV fightpads tomorrow, with 360 street fighter 4 pads arriving the following week. So far, we're not putting them in stock, we don't want to get our hopes up, along with the hopes of our loyal customers, so we're waiting until it actually arrives.

If the controllers do in fact arrive, we will be updating our stock status immediately. Customers are encouraged to sign up for "email me when the item is back in stock" notifications. Quantities are extremely allocated and items will be sold on a first come first serve basis.

I also have spoken to madcatz. Second wave allocations are still filling first wave pre-orders. A 3rd wave will be released end of april early may. We estimate that demand will insta-die down at that time, and major surpluses of the sticks will surface. We have sticks on order, but will adjust our quantities accordingly.

Stock Update - DS Ganbare Goemon: Toukai Douchuu (Konami the Best)

Many customers have been asking us to bring back Goemon. Japanese suppliers seem to have been sold out of this title for quite some time, our only alternatives are to send our suppliers out on foot to purchase this title from local shops in hopes that their prices aren't too inflated.

Any orders placed on the website will be priced as normal, but if the local shop prices are inflated, we will contact our customers to reconfirm at the new price.
