I can't buy one directly in my shithole country but I have an NA/Canada trip coming up soon that'll allow my account to buy it locally and was wondering if I'd have enough time to grab one.Is 2 weeks enough? I read somewhere that theres a queue system to even wait for a chance to buy it and THEN wait for shipping ...how's the stock situation with the controller at the moment anyone know?
>>739895656bro why do you live in south america thats grim
Sounds like much effort to get a controller lmao. Just use playstation controller or something. Pretty much the same thing. Or xbox controller if you don't need gyro and stuff
>>739895656Zero hope. You wouldn't even be able to order one in the two weeks let alone get one.
>>739895656if youre just now placing a reservation youd probably be lucky to even have a controller by the end of the year. people that placed reservations on day 1 (may 8) still havent received their purchase email
>>739895993meant to say some people havent received their purchase email yet. I reserved mine within 10 seconds of the page going live and just got my controller this week, whereas my friend was later that day and hasnt gotten his purchase email yet, so yea they are still filling orders from day 1 reservations
>>739895656>NA/Canada trip coming upMake at least one friend and convince them to ship it to youGet ready to shell out, Canada Post sucks lol
>>739895881Not my fault I spawned here, I've lived in many places but always come back bc food is the best, life is cheap, weather is always nice and there's no sandpeople anywhere>>739895971Naaah the trip is already paid and planned for, grabbing the controller would've been sweet tho>>739896265Got a few homies in Edmonton yeah, they might help me out but like you said shipping anything down south takes forever
>>739896093So how long did it take for you in total, i think it was May 4th right? Holy shit thats 20 days at least
>>739895656Any reliable internet buddies?
>>739895656I got one the first day it was announced, arrived a week laterSucks to suck, retard
>>739897779reservations went live may 8, and i got the controller earlier this week, on the 27th i think. thats a best case scenario though, like i said i know people that reserved on may 8 and havent even gotten their order email yet.
>>739898145Thanks i might be cooked after all, fuck Valve in particular for being so inept at logistics and hardware
>>739898460To be fair, unlike Sony and Nintendo whose stuff is cheap(er) and sells millions, Valve's hardware is pretty niche and premium in terms of cost. Setting up the logistics to ship to a new continent is expensive, and when that continent is a poor third world shithole, it's possible there aren't enough people who are both interested in and rich enough to buy their hardware, so they might not even break even.
>>739900194Yeah I get you, but these fucks understimate the amount of money that we have once we go beyond middle class, every NA/Europe/Asian place is filled with South Americans spending retarded amounts of money in tourism and whatnotHere locally there's some filthy rich subhumans extracting gold straight from the grounds, if you go to any restaurant its full with queues outside, each plate going for $25 at conversation rate which is crazyI hope more American companies werent so fucking retarded with their market research, Samsung already set up official stores here a few years ago and theyre RACKING UP money selling S26s, meanwhile Apple is too blind to understand the conceptNot a single gamer here would have any issues spending $100 on a controller, we are already buying Edges for $200 ...gamers here are even higher earning bracket than in NA
>>739900808That's true, but people rich enough are still a pretty small minority. It might work out for Samsung and Sony, but Valve might be too niche. The 'eck has sold what? 4 million? Realistically, expanding to south america most likely wouldn't even bump that by a million. It's just probably not profitable, especially when the upper class people who really want one can just freight forward or buy one on a trip. The amount of actual new customers they'd reach would be miniscule.
>>739895656Been in queue since the first couple seconds after it opened on the 8th. Haven't heard from them yet.
>>739901314>The 'eck has sold what? 4 million?That doesn't really matter if they can't produce enough of them to keep them in stock. Why expand your reach when you can't even sell them anything.
>>739902514They really are a bunch of fat jew cucks
>>739895656Why do you need to buy that overpriced piece of shit? Just look for an alternative that has hall effect or tmr sticks and triggers.
>>739904225I do not buy asymmetrical shit + no trackpads + 4 paddles
>>739904225>GameSAAR
>>739904418Useless meme gimmicks. You don't need those. Next you'll say you also need to be able to waggle it too.
>>739905982No paddles arent gimmicks, i play a lot of shooters and work with my hands so not giving them permanent arthritis is important to me
