If ace combat was actually a sim, I could understand this..

Only Halo 3 could get away with that high of a price tag hehe, and it would get away with it too because it will be the greatest game ever in my opinion.

This game, I'm not so sure...

Just say no to more WIRED accessories!

#4, thank you.

Then again, unless you're sitting fifty feet away from the TV, you won't be moving a lot using a joystick set like those, so wires shouldn't really be an issue.

Also, they made a very similar limited run package for Ace Combat 5 on PS2. All based on the Saitek X52 joysticks... which are a reference on PC flight sims. So for the Ace Combat fanatics, that's quite a nice package.

But personally, I agree with #1, Ace Combat ain't a sim, and it plays just damn well with a controller.

This joystick looks awesome. Too bad they did not get Microsoft to produce the joystick so they could make it wireless, and universal among other flight based games.

As it stands now, this joystick will be no different than the $200 Steel Battalion controller for the original Xbox that was only supported by two games. Unique joysticks that are third-party only become hard to garner support in games by other developers.

The only game worth spending $150 on is Guitar Hero II ($90 plus $60 for a second guitar).

Looks pretty cool. If it would work for Crimson Skies 2 that would be an added bonus.

It looks really nice but too expensive.

Definitely too much money for the bundle although the Ace Combat 6 game by itself will be a must buy for me. I don't know how I'm going to find enough time to play all these awesome games coming out.

Ace isn't close enough to a real sim to warrant that kind of price tag.

Since they're wired they're usb... If this works with PC flight sims it may just be kinda, sorta worth it. So will they work in PC's?

1) Does it work with a Windows PC?
2) How many XBOX360 games will it work with?
3) How good is AC6 going to be? Has it been reviewed?

$100, yes.
$115, maybe.
$150, most likely not.

I really think this looks like a cool controller, but I don't want to spend $150 for anything like that.

How about they forget about the faceplate, which would lower the price by $20 to $130.

If the controller and game sold for a package deal of $89.99 like Guitar Hero 2 for the Xbox 360 did, I would be interested in this...but right now, for a price that high, no way.

Not a bad price for the combo IF there were other flight sims - or at least games- out there. But there aren't. (Over-G notwithstanding.) Pass.

I'll wait for it to hit the bargain bin ... and even then, only if it is usable with other games.

I doubt there'll be a run on this stick early.

The $150 bundle for Ace Combat has been in GameStop's reserve book for at least a month and a half..
