I went into Best Buy to get it today and where I was hadn't even gotten any controllers in for the Playstation and only had one of them they're making for the 360 so apparently the controller issue may not be that big of a deal...
BTW don't enable the random online player request thing at the very beginning when they ask you because you just might have some punk that's been practicing all day jump into your first game and kick the shit out of you when you haven't even learned to "Hadoken" yet...
