Good Luck

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post, just knew a bunch of you had
this wheel.

Thanks, Ed
LWFF = Logitech Wingman Formula Force

I know the Best Buy closest to me no longer carries the LWFF..just the LWF.

I decided to call my local (1 hour away) Electronics Boutique to see if they
had any. The guy told me they did, and that the price was $79! I asked again
to make sure if it was the force feedback version with the red steering
wheel and he said it was. So I called a friend who happened to be in that
area at the time to go pick it up for me. When she got there they rang the
wheel up for $150-my friend told them they quoted me $79, and the guy
remembered me calling him earlier and telling me that price also. Seems as
if someone has accidentally written the $79 on the force version instead of
the non-force version. To their credit, the manager came out, stood behind
the quoted price and sold the wheel for $79!

I have used the MSFF wheel a good bit, but I like the LWFF better-much
smoother (as has been told here many times), and the pedals, although not
that good, aren't as bad as what I thought they would be after hearing all
of the complaints about them.

No?

Larry,

    No they don't. As an example there is no law that states that in New
York. What the law says is that if it's a misprint,they must have a posted
retraction. If it's misticketed,then when it's pointed out to them,they
should change the price tickets within a reasonable period of time. If you
file a complaint,you have to be able to prove that the mis-pricing issue was
done on purpose. In which case they could be fined. And while fines are
handed out all the time,they still don't have to honor the ticketed price.

That almost happened to me, but at a Fry's Electronics in Sunnyvale,
California.  I had gone to the local Best Buy, but they were selling
the LWFF for $130-something, so I drove over to Fry's and they had
only one left, which was red-tagged (sale) for $95.95.  Funny thing,
too, was that it was NOT in the same aisle with the rest of the wheels
and joysticks - it was in the next one over all by itself.  Anyhow, I
immediately grabbed it and took it up to the cashier where it rang-up
as $125-something.  I stopped him and told him about the tag I saw and
he tried to convince me that what he rang up is what it should be, but
I had checked the PLU#'s to make sure they matched before I had
brought it up, so I asked him to get the Supervisor.  He came around,
called the hardware guys on the phone, and they confirmed the
existence of the tag and I got it for $95.95.

It was not a returned unit, so I'm assuming it was the last of the
"old" units (bundled with F1 and Motorhead) and that's why it was
marked down.  I've been back since then and they had the new wheels
(bundled with SCGT) priced back at $125-something.

Getting back to Best Buy, I admit that I've only purchased one thing
from them - a DVD of "Saving Private Ryan" when it first came out.  
They had them marked as on sale for $19.99, but when I got to the
counter, it rang-up as $24.99.  I brought it to their attention and
they sold it to me for $19.99.  Not exactly a great first impression
of the store.  Heh.
