#3158997 - 12/17/10 02:20 AM Absurd prices for Logitech G27?
monsterZER0 Member Registered: 07/28/09 Posts: 140	Man, this is pretty ridiculous... I've seen these on sale for a little over 200 bucks back in the summer. I was gonna pick one up, but I guess I'll wait till after Christmas and see if the price returns to it's non-gouged level... http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-941-00004...0413&sr=8-1 -EDIT- It's back to MSRP on the Amazon page now, but at time of posting it was well over $400.00 US...

Did they stop production on them, or just far behind? _________________________ •XBL/Steam/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite MWO: Defcon Won •Logitech G27 Nixim •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo

guod Lifer Registered: 09/29/00 Posts: 21705	JAMF is right. Attribute it to Gran Turismo 5 sales. I'm serious. Demand for wheels right now is greater than the available inventory. _________________________ Sarà cura del moderatore, eventualmente, intraprendere azioni tese ad imporre le poche e semplici regole necessarie ad una "convivenza" serena e rispettosa per tutti.

monsterZER0 Member Registered: 07/28/09 Posts: 140	I guess that makes sense... Sucks for me though, I was really planning on picking one up . Not paying 300+ for one though, I'll just wait it out till supply is back up.

Case in point, the AMD 6970 and 6950 are waaaay over MSRP! Some head honcho is on drugs at the helm in the pricing department.

monsterZER0 Member Registered: 07/28/09 Posts: 140	WOW! You're right, the reference Sapphire 6970 is selling for $475.00 on Amazon, but it's $369.00 over at Newegg. Price gouging at it's WORST. Sad...
