The sidewinder 2 was a USB stick so it might work for the PS3. Not much use to Crash on the xbox though.

Oh I'm fairly certain it doesn't work with the Xbox.

Its such a shame MS stopped making their sidewinders. They were top quality. MS would make a lot of people very happy indeed if they relaunched the forcefeedback Sidewinder for both xbox and Windows.

I'm a little surprised they haven't, but flight simulators have become a serious niche product. What once probably held a large part of the gaming market share is a shadow of what it once was thanks to increased consumers (a good thing) and the Call of Duty-ification of everything under the sun (a bad thing).

No one is interested in open-ended simulators and flight sticks just don't sell when everything can be done with a gamepad.

Look at what's new from Madcats/Saitek, a new AV8R...

Ah ha! At least one company has its eyes open to the market. Even notice the US Navy theme which no doubt is to match the Pacfic theme of BoS and Damage Inc.
