On sale at 1PM EST, sold out by 1:30. Payment processing failing awfully.

Any lucky tildos score one?

    Jeez. I didn't even realize this was coming out today. Well, that's OK. Hopefully they'll turn on a waitlist or something. I don't NEED one. Certainly not this instant. I still have the original...

    I imagine with the Steam Machine, whenever that gets released, they'll also have a steady supply of these controllers.

    My friends think they're doing drops/releases every 30 minutes. Bots are probably only watching for the initial release and will drop off after that, or at least we hope so.

    Got two! Curious how long they'll take to ship up here to Canada, I don't know if the 3-5 business days advertised is accurate

      There is some sort of processing backlog mentioned on the shipment details page for Canadian orders specifically. I think it’s very unlikely they will meet the 3-5 business days.

    About 20 minutes ago I was getting the yellow error message saying the payment processor was having trouble but just now I managed to buy one. :)

    Kept getting the payment processing error for an hour and now they're sold out. Hoping I can get one, as it supposed to be a Fathers Day gift to myself.

    Managed to snag one an hour after it went live. Excited to try it out with World of Warcraft. Seems like it's sold out in my region now as well. Hopefully they get more stock soon for the people...
