Saitek currently has the X-55 Rhino HOTAS out of stock, per their website. That, in itself, is not noteworthy.
What is, however, is the curious drop in price. As of right now, the X-55 and X52 Pro are the exact. same. price. At least, they are on the U.S. store ($199.99 USD).
What gives? I see this stick everywhere for $249.99+. eBay, Amazon, literally any other store that might have it in stock is $50+ more expensive than Saitek's own site.
Has anyone purchased this stick recently? What did you pay? Does anyone else think this is either a misprint, or intentional deception on their part?
I'm waiting for the stick to be restocked, and I'm fully expecting that the very SECOND it is back, the price will magically jump to at least $249.99.
By the way, if you happen to work for this company (mad catz / saitek), or have some insight into this, your opinion is most appreciated.
