Actually looks like it came out last april or may.  O well, first time I saw it.  It can also be used on the PS3.  There a switch to select from PS3 or PC.  Interesting.  It only $50.00 bucks.

It has been around for quite a while but I think they may have redone its inner workings to make it more updated.

I will never buy a thrustmaster anything. Had two of them and they each lasted about 3 months.

The Afterburner strikes again!

I had one of these and loved it. Even better than my X52 while it worked, if only for the 1 thing they got REALLY right...
the Rudder rocker panel on the front of the throttle. 2nd best thing to rudder pedals and a HUGE improvement over "twisty stick".
