Be careful...the price gougers are busy here. This item is said to have a MSRP from MadCatz who licensed the Saitek product for manufacturing also under license by Microsoft for the Xbox 3690 (and likely same deal with PS3) which is 49.95 right now. I do not know why some companies might try and get away with this but It is unethical to more than double a MSRP that was agreed upon and declared by 3 different companies involved even to do what seems to be take advantage of people. Amazon is awesome but I can only guess there was some miscommunication here regarding proces or somthing to that effect. It is an awesome prodct as all Saitek flight stick sets are. i also understand that both the XB360 and the PS3 versions are PC compatible as well. Of course, I have my Logitech Force Feedback awesome controller for that, however, which provides as real a resistance as you can get from a controller due to the power outlet rumble and force feel source. It is nice to feel the resistances change when you are taking a lot of G's and different things are happening to the aircraft. Anyway, be careful how much you spend here as the product is MSRP'd at a different price. Good Hunting Viper Pilots!
Customer Review: saitek ps41 aviator joystick for use with the pc or xbox 360 game console
the saitek ps41 aviator joystick is awesome... wow . i have true the ace combat 6 controller but this puts it to shame .. if you really want to enjoy your flight sims games.. this controller is the best period... what not alot of people don't know is that you could use this controller as a controller for halo 3 and your call of duty games this controller is truly awesome.. it literally puts you in the action... i also would have to say the picture does not do the controller any justice . When i received it the look of it is amazing .. a must buy for everyone a must buy . buy it before hawk comes out for the xbox 360.

Every year there's a short list of hot toys that prove to be the most popular Christmas gifts for kids. And 2008, of course, is no different. One of this year's must buy Christmas toys is definitely going to be Bakugan battle brawlers, so here's a quick guide for parents on what Bakugan is all about.

What is Bakugan

Bakugan is similar to Pokemon in that it isn't just about the toys or the game. Bakugan Battle Brawlers is also a Japanese anime series in which the main characters, a group of youngsters, play the Bakugan strategy game in order to save the earth. It now airs in a variety of countries, including on the Cartoon Network in the US. The toys and the tv series were developed together, so one supports the other.

The Bakugan Battle Brawlers Game

Much how a trading card game works, Bakugan is a strategy game. It involves both cards (made of metal) and marbles. The marbles morph into monsters and such, i.e. dragons and things of that nature. The transformation occurs as the marble lands on the metal cards, which is the large part of the appeal of these toys. They are fun!

After each player has rolled their Bakugan (the marble), then battle commences. Battle consists of adding up the values on the Bakugan and the cards and the winner takes both of the Bakugans and the cards. The game continues until there aren't any cards left.

The Bakugan Toys

The main items necessary to play Bakugan are the cards and the marbles that turn into creatures. Bakugan starter packs are a fairly inexpensive entry item into the series of toys, at about $15 each. Fair warning though, much like Pokemon and Webkinz, don't expect your kids to be happy with just one set. Like trading game cards, the toys are designed to be collectible. You can expect your house to be overrun soon enough!

In addition to the starter packs and Battle Brawler Battle packs, there are also accessory items such as a launcher and a battle arena (i.e. game board) that can be bought too. There are also other tie-in items such as books, lunch bags, calendars and eventually there should be a videogame available in the US for the Nintendo DS.

For tips on the game, my instructions on how to play Bakugan should help out, plus you can get an idea of the different Bakugan toys available as well.
