General Stock Update - Monday

We received the Japanese version of Yakuza 3 or Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 today, earlier than expected. We expected our UPS driver to make his 12 p.m. arrival after stopping at all the other local shops. But, that was not that case today.

As I turned into the store backalley, the driver was graciously awaiting our arrival as he re-organized his own truck. In any event, Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 is always a smash hit among import fiends and game lovers alike. We're now on low stock, and are expecting another Japanese wave (not asian version) by the end of the week. As for other items arriving this week, the american front looks promising with Killzone 2 PS3 arriving early on thursday.

Stock Update - Fighting Stick 3 PS3

I'd have to say, the amount of sticks selling the past few days has been quite ridiculous. Honestly, we can't even keep up with demand. I wouldn't be surprised if street fighter IV would be more effective than the stimulus signed by President Obama.

After reaching out to our suppliers the past few days, all remaining reserves of any controller resembling a fighting stick have been snatched by retailers and wholesalers alike. Luckily, we were able to lock down small quantities of the ps3 fighting stick 3. Initial quantities will arrive on friday, but the remainder of the shipment will arrive early next monday.

For those wondering about the quality and sales stats of the other sticks, I would highly recommend the Hori Real Arcade Pro EX for 360, and the Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 For PS3. We've already had a few returns from customers who prefer hori over madcatz. The madcatz sticks have received generous hype, but Hori still trumps in quality and durability.

Customers were primarily concerned with the madcatz sticks sticky lollipop joystick. I don't like creating a false sense of urgency, but I do strongly encourage all buyers to purchase any stick as soon as possible to avoid any unreasonable price hikes into the $300's.

Pre-Order Update - Killzone 2 PS3

We will be receiving Killzone 2 on Friday 2/27. Pre-orders will ship on that day, late in the afternoon. For wholesale customers, please send us your numbers as soon as possible to lock in your quantities.

Local residents are encouraged to stop by to pick up their copies day of. We definitely will sell out. The earliest restocks we will be first thing tuesday morning.
