Saitek X-52 Pro
« on: November 09, 2008, 07:01:28 PM »
Alright, I've decided to splurge and get a new stick now that this one is crapping out. Im looking to get a Saitek X-52 Pro, but it seems real pricey. Does anyone know where to find a good price on one? eBay has none, and Walmart goes for $150. Anyone know anywhere cheaper?

I was really liking the sound of the pro over the regular.

God I hate living in Hawaii. The shipping is going to cost $35 :( Either way, it comes out to about $150

l0l. Wait until you buy a video game, or a toy, or a joystick and pay more for shipping than for the bloody product!

Must be a horrible thing to live there.

If you want, we can trade.  Come here and live in Philly and get good shipping prices.

I'll twist my wife's arm and draaaag her out to Hawaii to live, even though we'll have to deal with those damn shipping costs  :furious

I'm sort of in the same boat as you Seren, my CH Pro Pedals and CH Combatstick cost me double the price because I live in England.

Have you looked at the CH website yet mate? I've been told that CH products last decades, if your going to splurge then go for the Ferrari. :D

Why am I the only one with NO problems whatsovever with my regular X52? Everyone's seems to be wearing out left and right...I've had mine for 4 years or so now and no problems. Only thing I see with the Pro is it's mostly metal...

Eff it. Ive got some cash.

I just ordered the X-52 Pro with express shipping, it should be in by Wedensday. I know it has the cool screen that supposedly can be integrated with various games. Does this work with Aces High? And does anyone have any cool things they like to use it for?
