This is more of a public service announcement than anything else.
That Mad Catz Street Fighter IV Tournament Fightstick you've been wanting since February is now available at Amazon.com. Today there's a stock of PS3 ones awaiting your order, priced at $149.99. The stock of Xbox 360 Fightsticks should be good to go next week, on July 7th.
As you know, any stock is limited, but these Tournament sticks are very limited in quantity. Don't wait. Of course, there's no guarantee that these will be in stock by the time you read this.
After you get it, someone go and beat Jonathan Ross in Street Fighter IV.

Then again I'm no SFIV expert and I'm pretty sure Jonathan Ross' dog could beat me at the game.
Still, it seems the Fightsticks are praised by those who take the game seriously.
It's been forever since I played an arcade fighter, I'm used to a controller.
Even 1942:JS is more fun with a joystick.
Anyway, I noticed that both Capcom's store and Mad Catz had gotten in stock last week (non-bundles for Mad Catz), so I ordered a second one up from Capcom, but because I also ordered a Resident Evil Shot Blaster for Wii, which they said was available, they put my order on "backordered" status until they had more stock. :(
...he might have been trying to make me feel better.
(Charlie Brooker might.)
