txmtb Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Kind of screwy in a way that the Amazon pre-orders were cancelled and then up the price and take pre-orders on their site.

I think the Amazon listing was a second party as far as increase in price it was always 199.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txmtb Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I think the Amazon listing was a second party as far as increase in price it was always 199.99. It may have been, don't remember for sure. But it was pre-ordered under my prime account with fulfillment by Amazon so their distribution center would have received/shipped them. It's not $199.99 anymore, the price on the Saitek site now is $219.99 in the U.S. Win 10 64 Pro, MSI Z390 I7-9700K @5ghz Kraken Z63, 32Gb Corsair Dominator, MSI RTX-2070, 1TB NVME 2TB SSD's, TM Warthog, Pro Rudders, OpenTrack w/ IR Clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txmtb Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Just checked your link and it shows $219, so I think your saying the $219 is with shipping. Which goes to the point I made about Amazon pre-orders, they were placed at the $199 level with free shipping (Prime), some were never fulfilled, and now it's unavailable there. Really does not matter as I understand they need to make money to stay in business, but one would think they would fulfill the outstanding orders instead of them being cancelled before taking another pre-order. The people that ordered in good faith are now paying a higher price to re-order the pre-order they already placed. :beer: Edit: Actually it shows shipping etc as being $0.00 Edited April 22, 2014 by txmtb Win 10 64 Pro, MSI Z390 I7-9700K @5ghz Kraken Z63, 32Gb Corsair Dominator, MSI RTX-2070, 1TB NVME 2TB SSD's, TM Warthog, Pro Rudders, OpenTrack w/ IR Clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txmtb Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Weird is a good word sometimes. I just checked again and it was the same as before. Can one of you check the Canadian price and see if it's 219.99? I see that price for both the US and Canada order links so I think I'm getting an incorrect price.

Sarge55 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Perhaps the $219.99 is the conversion to Canadian $ from USD. A lot of sites will auto convert to your geographic locations currency.

PFunk1606688187 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Well maybe re-wording your sage advice might have helped convey that better, but if you read what you said, it sounded like you were questioning the wisdom of those of use that did purchase it now... and if it was just for the "complainers" remember, two wrongs dont make a right... I do appreciate the condescension. Thank you very much. I don't know why I have to be so careful about wording anything like this. Its Saitek, its a new product, its pretty obvious there are going to be teething issues, especially since its paired with the launch of a new programming software. Its pretty obvious my intent if you aren't out to dismiss it. Yes its mostly for the complainers but its also true in general. I find it obnoxious for people to hop on the bandwagon of praising something and being defensive about things like the bugs. You yourself said you didn't experience a problem, like thats supposed to mean something. Why would you say that? It just smacks of being dismissive, like the bugs aren't an issue. My "sage advice" warns that bugs are likely while your response appears to dismiss the credibility of such bugs being even real using a pretty common fallacy. If this were a discussion of a bug in the open beta someone posting "well I haven't seen that bug" is pretty obviously irrelevant. The complainers complain too much, but the satisfied customers deny too much as well. Every purchase is a risk. Every purchase of the first 300 units is a much higher risk, especially if its an iterative step forward. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.

intx Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Quick question for people who have it and play A10C: 1. Does it have enough hats, switches, buttons , etc. to fulfil all the warthog's hotas functionality without resorting to using modifiers? 2. I hear that it doesn't have a two stage trigger, has that affected your ability to use the gun? I figure that you can program it to do both enable PAC and shoot but wonder if the ability to enable PAC for variable amount of time before engaging gun was something to consider? Edit: I admit that I was lazy and didn't read all 56 pages in this topic. After I took the time to read them all , I found a post that showed me a picture of one users profile. I really appreciate that picture because it showed me both answers and I was pleased with the results. I could live with the idea of two buttons to represent the gun trigger.
