At Saitek site you can get reconditioned X-52 for $69.95 and pedals at $79.95 with 30 day refund, replacement or frefund warrenty.
I bought the X-52 when it first came out for $150.00 and haven't had any trouble. Got the pedals 5 mo's ago reconed and no probs and now i'm really flying .
The reconditioned approach is a sweet deal even if you have all the money in the world to spend.
More money to spend on flight sims.
