bn880 5 Posted July 4, 2003 Damn, I guess I'd better see if I can afford that Sidewinder FF stick soon. Otherwise it'll be years before an equivalent is available at the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, when something like this happens, you can usually see some nice discounts on the products affected. While supplies last. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kegetys 2 Posted July 4, 2003 The real reason is propably the x-box, MS is slowly dropping support for "real" PC gaming and wants everyone to buy their little console. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KaRRiLLioN 0 Posted July 4, 2003 I've had a sidewinder precision pro for serveral years now, and it's been a pretty good stick. I think I'll pick up another sidewinder while they're still around. Does anyone have the Force feedback version? If so, is it any good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex -USMC- 0 Posted July 4, 2003 I've got a Sidewinder 2 Force Feedback and I like it a lot. It's kind of bulky because the power source is internal, but it's still an excellent stick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Renagade 0 Posted July 4, 2003 Silence Infidels !! The quality of case materials on M$ mice leaves a lot to be desired and i seriously doubt the silly sidewinder would stand up to much either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
