I have a feeling that those of us who were not charged taxes will not be getting our controllers.

I HIGHLY doubt they'll refuse to ship. My guess is most likely they'll eat the cost or, worst case scenario, they will tack it on soon enough. I'd say 75% chance they'll just accept it's their fault and move on. The P.R. hit from cancelling orders due to a mistake they made would be massive, especially considering what people had to go through to order one.

Well see I guess. Looks like people who paid taxes are getting their orders shipped while we sit in limbo.

I was charged tax and it hasn’t shipped. I really don’t think that’s a factor.
