So look at the average Joe/Jan forking out $150 for a replica he/she might use once in a blue moon or my setup that would just about work on any panel as the stick has suction cups.
Sorry to poo poo on this Thread as I'm sure the spinner is a great product, but can you justify spending that amount for just one game?
People spend more money for darn near the same. Ram Controls is asking $200 for their Havok spinner to cite one example. True, the Havok spinner works for a few games, but only a few games is still a tough justification.
Hey, if people want an authentic experience, they have the money for that experience, and people like Apache Controls is willing to sell it to them, then I guess the price is justified. If the price
should be lower, then AC will lower them or someone will come in and undercut them with a lower priced product.
Personally, I'd like the prices to be a tad lower. But that's just me. Dealing with consoles for so long, it takes a little getting used to to seeing prices for individual components exceed complete console configurations.
I'm not sure what you mean by the "average joe/jan." No one here is average by any means. Average people don't exactly go and build 200+lb monstrosities and figure out how to work them into the decor of their homes.
