Cheap cost - good quality.

Thanks, but i usualy just go thru amazon and bought two 10' gold tipped (also has ferite cores on each end) HDMI cables and two 6" usb A male to A female extension cables for $27.00 usd and heck around here they want about $40.00 for one 10" HDMI cable.

Man-o-man, does this Saitek AV8R-02 Flight stick look cheap, and thats from just looking at it in the package. I have 30 days to return for full refund if its unopened. I'll do alittle more research, but from what i've gathered thus far its really the only reasonable option it seems. I won't pay 150.00 on a Thrustmaster just for one title and hope this 50.00 cheap piece of plastic Saitek AV8R-02 holds up to the G's...lol !

Should have the usb cables middle of next week and pray (like we all do) that the patch is somewhat timely.....L8R all !

Wall-o-texr...lol ! Does the standard MS Xbox 360 headset jack fit this AV8R-02 ? I've read that the Turtle Beaxh headsets need some type of adaptor and hope thats not one more thing i'll have to order...thanks again all !

Just FYI next time.

You can also pick the colors of your HDMI cables - so if black isn't your thing and maybe pink and green are.

Anyone know if i can just plug in my standard MS xbox 360 headset into the Saitek AV8R-02 flight stick or is an adaptor needed. I heard that someone with the Turtle Beach headset had to buy an adaptor and i'm not clear as to whether or not one is needed for the Xbox 360 headset....thanks !

if its the new type that has a 3mm jack plug on the end it just plugs straight in mate

Yeah, if you have this type of headset: You're gonna need an adapter.

^^^ i really wish microsoft would make that old connection again.

those were bar none, the best connections for the headsets. Mainly because the volume/mute is so close to your thumbs, and i do not have to remove a hand from the controller to lower the volume because some idiot retard screaming in my ear.
