    Where can I get one of these, I was just reading the "Got Some Stick?" thread.
    Seems like the Saitek Cyborg Gold and Platinum is what everyone favours.
    Do you know where I can get one? Cuz i want one for ma birthday
    Whats the difference between the Gold and Platinum anyway?
    Cheers guys

    I got the platinum from PC world.. maybe a tad more expensive than other places,, but not that much really considering I could just walk in and buy it

    a matter of personal taste.. I didint like the eveo because of the position of the throttle..... i much prefer this throttel position on the gold/platinum// means I can adjust the throttel with my left thumb will adjusting flaps etc on the keyboard etc with my left hand at the same time as steerring the damn thing and shooting stuff with my right

    tbh.. if you've not flown much before.. I would save the 7 quid and take the gold...... joysticks dont last for ever anyway...
