If you’re really into your flight sim games and have a lot of spare cash lying around, you might want to check out Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation for the Xbox 360.
There is going to be a limited edition bundle shipping later this year that gets you not only the game, but also a two piece Hori flight stick and an Ace Combat 6 face plate. The flight stick looks pretty cool, I wouldn’t mind using one.
The price is enough to make you spit out your Mountain Dew. You’ll have to cough up $149, and the flight stick isn’t even wireless. To quote a great movie “I could almost buy my own ship for that.”
Just as a comparison, people are wondering if Rock Band will be too expensive at the possible price of $200. With Rock band you’d get a guitar (which is wireless), a drum kit and a microphone. With this you get a flight stick and a faceplate for $149. I’m wondering how many people are going to pony up that kind of cash for a single peripheral, at least with Rock band you can split the cost with your friends.

The system is way expensive but it is worth it if you like flight sims and have enough cash or a rich uncle

This bundle is actually a modded Saitek X45 HOTAS for the game. The stick sells for about 70 dollars online. Saitek sells a newer version of the stick called the X52pro and its much more durable than the older version
