My brother had one of those for his PS2 to play Gran Turismo 4, they're really not all that helpful if you ask me, most of the ones on the market are very unresponsive, partially due to the fact that the majority of games aren't designed with them in mind.

I've seen and used some really expensive ones that worked great, but be prepared to spend upwards of 400 bucks on them.

I've handled one of them before and its really not as complicated as it seems, they're really comfortable to grip and extremely nice.

I wouldn't say it has too many buttons at all for a decent flight sim, and don't underestimate the functionality and intuitivity(is that a word) of the throttle.

I mean, compared to the controller for the XBOX game Steel Battalion it is like an Atari joystick.

Like I said in a similar thread, I got to see and handle almost every different lightsaber from Master Replicas at CIII.

The only problem I have with the Darth Vader model is that, due to the very nature of red LEDs, it is a little dim.

I'd really love to have an EIII Kenobi saber, but I don't think they have any plans to make it available yet.

Chalt, what version of Kenobi's saber do you have?

How a lightsaber works!

A close friend of mine works for a company that makes entry materials for the Police/Military, because of that he got an opportunity to go to an "Entry Expo/Convention" where he told me there was a lightsaber-eqsue entry tool they were showing off, along with a plethora of explosive devices and rams (the large warehouse was filled with cement and metal walls for the demonstrating of each of them).

It was essentially a rod (it was made of a material I am not familiar with) with a handle, attached by a hose to a special formula tank.

When activated, he said, it had a very luminescent glow and corona (the glow being the superheated gas and the corona the bar) similar to a lightsaber.

He told me that the guy demonstrating it sliced straight through a 3 inch steel rebar.
