    Default Ace Combat 6 Bundle ACE EDGE set at Best Buy TODAY??

    I was wandering through my Best Buy after getting some great deals at Target next door, and stumbled on the Ace Combat 6 Bundle with the game, faceplate, flightstick, etc. I always wanted one when they came out and I've never seen one in a store since launch week back in 07.

    So I was wondering if this is some sort of a re-issue or if maybe the Best Buy just found some old stock in the back and put it out? Oh, and for informative purposes, there was only one of these, it is factory sealed still, and the Best Buy has only been open for about 5 weeks, so it hasn't been sitting on the shelf for a year.

    Thanks and lmk what you may know about any reissue!

    Yeah, there was a reprint. They were talking about this last month on CAG and I think they're only being sold at Best Buy. I hear they didn't make many of them either, so if you're thinking about getting one, better get it quick because they're already getting hard to find.


    And the stick should be fully compatible with Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X and IL-2 Sturmovik too which are due out soon.

    Yeah, I read about the reissue as well. Also I have to add that these things are awesome if you are really into this genre. I bought them at launch last year and couldn't have been happier with them. They are just like the PS2 version for AC5 but green.

    I didn't know that these are compatible with HAWX! That RAWX!

    Thanks Nork! Any idea if the re-issue is any different than the original? I've been wanting this set for awhile and thought it was pretty odd to find it on the shelf over a year after its release.

    I forgot to mention that it rang up as $129, but all the info I can find on it says that it is $149. On sale maybe? Not sure, but if you've been looking for one like I have, this is a good time to go!

    I've never even seen ONE used in the last year at any of the GameStops around me, and there are a lot. Not that I'm saying you're wrong, but I'm sure its a hit-and-miss thing.

    It's on sale this week for $130. I suspect this bundle may drop in price again since the game just dropped from $60 to $30 MSRP.

    We got 12 of these in last week and only half that remain. Never would have thought they'd sell well.
    RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.

    Well, after a week of deep contemplation, I returned mine (unopened of course) because I just can't really justify the $140 right now. I already own the game, and if I keep my eyes open, maybe I'll find the flight sticks at GameStop sometime.

    These are $149.99 at my local Best Buy. Ridiculously overpriced in my opnion. Is the game and flight stick the only things in the box? Geesh, sorry but $150 is crazy expensive for this shit.

    That is expensive. I paid 120 Canadian for mine about a year ago.

    How about a pre-Xmas update on these? Where I only saw one of these back before Thanksgiving, they are beginning to pile up in the Xbox 360 section at both of my close-by Best Buys. At $150 it's just too much - I mean, it is a reissue right? An original very limited edition of this bundle may be worth that, but a reissue? There's no real collectibility on it, so it should be about $79 at the most.

    If you can still find these, they are $99.99 at Best Buy now. The one near me had 3 in stock tonight.... it's 2 now.

    its a fine price. its what they were at release as well. a good flight stick, of equal quality for the pc cost at least 100$. so that plus game for 150 is fair. it truly is a top notch product. plus you can use them for pc.

    Checked tonight and they are now $99.99 at my Best Buy's as well, with quite a few still remaining on the shelf. If for some reason they end up going on sale down to around $79 or so, I'm grabbing one!
