In case you missed the E3 press release on the Saitek Pedals. They are going to be priced at $129.95 and "will be available for purchase through major retail outlets in August 2006."

I think it's enough of a niche market that prices will stay pretty much the same. My most recent Saitek purchase makes me think I'll skip Saitek and buy CH next time. I'd hoped they'd be less than the CH peds.

Old news. Gianlupo posted a while back about this. Turns out they're the same price as CH Peds ($120 USD or so).

Sadly, there will be no price wars :cry    <-- me crying

Well I have been a little busy and honestly did not want to look for anything else  that may not be on the first page of hardware and software. Sorry to have wasted your time then....;)

no need to apologize, Reschke.......

as for " USB CH Products" Stick/Throttle/pedals  you're crazy if you pay over $100 US for any one item of these.........

http://www.provantage.com

http://www.securemart.com

http://www.newegg.com

majority of the time each of these sites have each item listed under 98.00 US and some of them have the stick listed under 89.00US......just a friendly reminder...
