Would you mind to point out the actual url where your out-of-this-world prices are supposed to show up?

Last year - 2010 - prices were €390 for the Hawk (FFB) and €280 for the Falcon (no FFB). [http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t.../m/2661077438]

I am afraid exchange rates haven't fluctuated so much since then. Get a second look on your source of information, please.

Sadly, it does say on the website that it is 2397 Euro.

I am lefty so I support anything that caters for our breed. Sadly this interesting
piece of engineering is outta the question for about 95% of us. Even at the
stated £450 price mark... Thats sad cause I think it has great potential.

Especially with the ability to customize / interchange the sticks.
Maybe to a yoke design or a wheel attachment.

Companies like Saitek are great at ergonomics and design
but their build quality and components are so sub standard.

I'd welcome a new quality competitor however I must agree that at
that cost I'd rather buy myself a great used motorcycle than a joystick.

w00t?! +2000€?!

Flight sims are a niche market as it is, and this joystick no matter how good or real it feels / is - will be available to what, 0.0001% of the virtual pilots??

For this amount I'd rather buy a Warthog + Simped rudder pedals, and still have enough money to buy 2 or 3 spare ones of each!

Like a lead cloud, it just won't float.

Looks Like a pimped microsoft sidewinder 3d

-Great concept, bad design/solutions, bad price, bad feeling bout it.

Hi Brando, sorry but all I get is this:

'404 - Error
This is a standard message from your web browser indicating that the file trying to be accessed doesn't exist or isn't available; basically it means a dead end'.

You know what? These guys @ Paccus will also produce these joysticks versions for industrial and/or medical use. It is a plausible explanation that the high prices you provided were related to these professional sort of joysticks.

Perfectly working homepage, and absolutely crazy prices for that ugly fail...sorry to say.
