Guess I'll find out when I check my e-mail tonight to see if there is UPS tracking no. provided :) It would be so nice if we get the game this Friday or Sat instead of next week. RAP stick still hasn't been shipped out from Amazon though :( I know, I'm a little worried since I ordered later than you, and I'm not sure where I stand on NCSX's queue.

I know I ordered mine just a little before you so I'll let you know if I hear anything about my copy. This will most likely have an effect on several retailers as it was a distributor that is not getting their shipment until a few days later. Here's hoping we make the first batch!

Futari seems to be in very high demand so it will be available for a while, and you're not missing out on much by not getting the “first print”. (read: a DLC card to download an even more difficult version of the game lol)

All my fighters are on PS3 so far and I only got the cheap Hori PS3 fighting stick, works better than regular controller I guess. I just want to make sure the stick would serve its purpose (since some have sticks or btns that serve better w/ shmup or fighter) if I'm dishing out $100 for an arcade stick. Too bad these sticks don't work for both 360 and PS3.. I kept dying in Ikaruga too, I think I got to the 3rd boss w/o dying for my best record.. and stage 4 & 5 are just pandemonium..

Would keep that in mind if the stick feels too tight. Hopefully it would serve me well and enhance my shmup experience.

It's ok enough for shmups. I guess it would give some trouble with fighters, where you need to input all kind of combos, but for shmups it gets the work done. I've managed to improve my plays a bit with it. Of course, I'm nowhere near hardcore either. I can't even get past the fourth stage in EspRADE.
