Should I Buy this star wars yoke ?
« on: February 06, 2010, 10:13:16 pm »
Seems like Ram controls is getting over on alot of Gamers. Thats not cool I came across this site and see that they have a Star Wars Yoke ready to go.  Its a bit pricey but compared to what. I have no where else to go. Has anyone bought from this company. Or has anyone bought this yoke. how is it?

Be patient and either get Dave's if he actually puts them out, or pick one up on eBay. That is just way too much. I've seen entire Star Wars cabs go for that much!

West Controls has some cool stuff, but I think they're waiting on the Ram-Controls yokes too.  Either that, or they're using originals, in which case I doubt that they'll let you order one...

For that price you could buy a whole working Star wars machine..........

I think that is the same yoke they have been selling since I started out and at the same price too. I dunno if he has ever sold any.

The description states its a refurb, I would just fork out another $375 & get the game dedicated if you are that hardcore about playing Star Wars.

You will prob be happier too  :cheers:
