Starting 12/8, Best Buy has the MS Sidewinder Force 2 Feedback Joystick for $99.99 - $50 MIR = $49.99.

Use 10% off coupon floating around to make it hotter:

$99.99 - 10% - 50MIR = $40 !!!

good deal

PM at the register to $79.99 price at CompUSA (instant savings shown on the web site; I have no idea what the national circular looks like). Just print out the product page at compusa.com and explain to the cashier that it's a sale price valid at CompUSA B&M. Most likely, they'll gladly manually adjust for you.

Then "stack" the 10% off coupon to bring it to $71.99 + tax out the door.

Rebate is for online purchase only. Can i price match over the phone?

 

[WolverineGator]

Rebate receipt will print out at B&M. From rebate receipt printed at checkout register:

"In-store rebates are valid for in-store purchases only. BestBuy.com rebates are vaild with online purchases only."

Now I'll sell my MS force feedback 1 for the net price I paid for this one. Upgrade cost = $0.

Where is this 10% off coupon?

Coupon is in December issue of Maxim and SI. Run a search on "BB" or "Best Buy" and you should find the thread with the exact issue and pages.

I'm not sure if the CUSA ad is PM'able, I think it might have been AR. I'll have to double-check.

i believe there is another rebate from microsoft for 20bux on either the wheel or joystick.
I think i read at chubbywallet..but it's down for server maintenance.

I almost bought one of these Friday for the full $100, glad my mom told me to wait until the sales papers came out on Sunday.

That rebate is instant, meaning the price is 79.99 at the register. So the PM should work.
Even without 10%, still a hot deal.

My final price is $7.99 (plus tax).

$99.99 - $22 (110% PM to CompUSA at $79.99) - $50 (BB MIR) - $20 (MS MIR) = $7.99 (plus tax)


Be aware. BB had none of these on the shelf and even the shelf tag was gone! When I asked the CSR where I could find it he stated, "I think we used to carry it." But, after some "arm twisting" and insisting that BB has to carry MS's top-of-the-line joystick, I got the him to "look in the back." And what do you think he found? "There were a few in the corner back there." was his response.

Thanks for the deal!

Just picked it up for $79.99 (PM Comp USA) - 10% coupon (latest SI) = $71.99 - $50 (BB MIR) - $20 (MIR) = $1.99

Now, that's in a nearly perfect world. The $20 MIR I picked up from Buy.com does not mention Buy.com, and appears to be a manufacturer's rebate. However, both the Best Buy rebate ($50) and the Microsoft rebate ($20) want the UPC. Any thoughts or comments? Thanks


UPDATE

Wife just got off the phone with MS, and operator (Francis @ 1-800-622-4445 x53093) indicated that MS will honor the copy right page from the manual of the joystick plus oringinal or copy of receipt and the rebate form. She said allow 6-8 weeks (yeah, I know they always say that).

Thanx for the deal.

Got one for 15$ + 10$ warranty/exchange plan.
Awsome deal. If i had a coupon it would have been even better.

Thanx again.
