I have been looking all around for one of these, figuring it would be worth it just for the voice over IP and the headset is produced by Plantronics. every B&M store has it for 49 firm, and I did my share of driving around.

I found it for 41.32 at onvia, linkified here:
Onvia SideWinder Game Voice
They don't have much of a product description, but I knew what I was looking for. You can view an excellent description from buy.com's site, linkified here:
Game Voice Descrip at Buy.com
The best part of this is that shipping is free at Onvia, just sweetening it a bit.
It's not smoking hot, but if you're looking for this thing and don't want to pay 50 bucks, this is the best place I could get it, especially if you've used coupon privy's everywhere else.

oops, selfish me!
Perhaps I should have posted this in a new thread -- kinda slipped my mind:

I was at Office Depot B&M store last night picking up one of those Linksys Network in a Box deals, and I saw that they had the MS Gamevoice for, i believe, $24.99!! At the end of the isle, they had it on display and the price was still listed as 50bux but in the isle at the usual display shelf, it was distictly listed as 25bux. The sticker had the list price correct, so it didn't seem a misprint. THAT's a great deal!

so if you've been wanting to try this thing out, grab it. However I have on and don't think much of it. For voice commands in gaming, it's too slow for switching weapons, if you can bind your keys properly, that's much faster. Perhaps it's good for Flight Sims where it's really difficult to remember all the bloody commands. Not a good buy for 50bux.

Anyway, for 25bux, it's prolly worth it (it has a good microphone headset by Plantronics. Good luck, hope this is a national price!

Actually I think the price is $29.99. I have had my eye out for one of these for a while, but didn't want to put out $50.00 for it. Welll... If you want it cheaper PM with Staples.com which has it for the usual $49.99. Simply buy 3 (one for a friend, one to sell), use a coupon for $25 off $75 (there was a coupon for $20 off $50... you would have only had to buy 2 to get the same price as with this coupon). Of course you could just buy 1 or 2 and put enough stuff in your cart to add up to $75... it's up to you. ANYWAY... Since both Staples and OD have free shipping over $50, that is covered. Bottom line is you get the thing shipped for $21.xx. This may be more work that walking in and buying it, but may be worth it for some.

not that good a deal only 9 bucks cheaper than 50, then if u add tax and s/h or w/e is added on, makes even less "warm"
