I'm looking at buying a Madcatz SF4 Arcade stick and my choices of where to get one seem pretty limited. Zavvi seem to be one of the best options at the moment, with their price of Ł100 being about the joint-lowest along with ASDA and The Hut. I seem to remember some posters possibly having some trouble with games ordered on Zavvi's site though, can anyone reassure me on this?

The Hut and ASDA seem to have a month wait for delivery, so being an impatient bastard I'd rather go with Zavvi if they're reliable and it results in me getting the arcade stick quicker. Any thoughts or horror stories?

Aside from the week long delivery times they've been absolutely fine with me so far. Got some good bargains from them!

Yeah, they are fine, used them before. I think they are part of the Hut group who haven't given me any problems either.

Ł5 off "PP5OFFZAVVI"

Ocean, I'm assuming that's Ł5 off a Ł50 spend or something? I've put a Ł15 item in and its not working when I add the voucher code...

Oh yea, sorry. Ł50 or more. Just because he said Ł100. Only one that works at the moment. Doesn't work on consoles, computers or mobiles.

You can get that Arcade stick for Ł94.85.

If you have any problems with them they're fucking awful, I can't be arsed with them after a returns fuck up.

Its weird. Literally six months ago, TE sticks were going for about 69 quid.

Alright guy, thanks for the feedback and the voucher. I'll probably order it tonight with any luck.

Delivery times with them have got a lot better in the last couple of months, only took a couple of days rather than over a week on my last few orders.
