Hey guys...first post

If I want to go and buy a stick for the xbox 360. What's the best? to buy brand new in the shops.

The Aviator is your only option for new and easy to get. The Ace Edge isn't sold anymore other than extremely overpriced hoarders who may still have them. I think they're usually $200 on Amazon or Ebay. The Aviator is $$40-50.

Hi, All first post.

I'm a veteran of Warbirds in the late 90s, and a true addict. In fact my internet ID was forever set by Warbirds as Ragged (like my flying). I welcome the potential arrival of a decent sim on a console and have ordered an xbox jsut to run it on.

Anyway on to sticks. The Edge is clearly based on the Saitex x36 stick plastics I have gathering dust on top of my wardrobe. Perhaps IL and Saitek could do a deal/bundle?

Hi, welcome to the forum.

I hope for the same as well. I don't think getting a 'used' Ace Edge for $200+ isn't woth it. An IL2 themed flight stick would be neat, but since the publisher tried to get rid of them, it might not happen.
