$100 is about the cheapest price i've seen. Most of the prices paid that were posted were $120-$140.

I got mine at Circuit City a few months ago for $99, and I felt ripped when I discovered that people were buying it off-the-shelf for $89! But hearing things like in this above post, I feel sort of lucky! It is disconcerting that every place has such a *wildly* differing price. CompUSA is $149.99. Now I hear Thrustmaster suggests $180, which is what Walden Software is selling it for. What the hell is going on? That is *DOUBLE* the best going off-the-shelf price! The fact that most people can easily get it for $90-$100 says to me that we are seeing overpricing in many of these instances. I don't think it is good for buisness when Thrustmaster has at least 1/4th of their customers feeling monstrously ripped off. Maybe they just had some promo thing, and took a big loss on the $90 ones. Anyone care to guess? Not That I need to care, since I was lucky enough to be near a Circuit City... but it does make you wonder.
