Logitech Momo-Where to buy in U.S. Midwest?

Well gang, I went to pick up a Logitech Momo wheel. The funny thing was...I couldn't find one anywhere! I checked three Best Buy's, two Circuit Cities, Sears, and CompUSA. There was one display unit at one Best Buy. That was it. Micro Center, EB and Babbages don't even list the Momo on their Web sites so I doubt they carry them in the stores. As a matter of fact, Best Buy's site says the Momo shouldn't even be available in stores. So, has anybody in the U.S. Midwest purchased a Momo from a regular retail store? I actually wouldn't mind spending the money for an extended warranty so I'm trying to avoid mail order if I can. I'm in the Chicago area if it makes any difference. TIA, Bill

Ordered mine from newegg.com at that time they were $50 cheaper than Best Buy and would bet they are lower yet. I wouldn't mess with an extened warranty. As typical with computer parts the MOMO probably won't be around in the 4 years to make a claim on it. MadDAWG

Don't know if you're interested in a refurb, but you can get one for $90 here: http://store.yahoo.com/justdeals/wheels.html Formula Force (old style) available for $50, Formula Force GP for $35. "Bill Mette" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:afa78c$23m$[email hidden]...

It depends on the cost... When I bought my MSFFW, the ESP was $9.95 for 2 (or maybe 3) years. It breaks, I take it back to the store, hand it to them, and they hand me a new box. I'll buy THAT for $10 :) Some of Best Buy's warranties aren't bad. You just have to evaluate each one individually. I've had their controller warranty before, and it paid off big. I wouldn't even want to _think_ about having to get one fixed through Microsoft. -Larry "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Thats all well and good if they have one. My point is that since he is having such a hard time even finding one what good is it gonna do him to 'hand" it to him if they don't have anything to give him in return? It would end up being a "will have to send it in and get it fixed" type of deal. And don't even get me started on get things fixed thru a store like best buy. MadDAWG

MadDAWG, Thanks for recommending New Egg in your previous post. Considering the amount of components I've ordered from them in the past I'm suprised I didn't think of them for the Momo. After reading the T&C of Best Buy's "replacement plan" and looking at New Egg's cheaper price, I went ahead and ordered from New Egg. Matter of fact, it shipped yesterday afternoon so there's a small chance I may have it by the weekend. DK pots and a Rockfire adapter for my pedals are on on their way from TE as well. Christmas in June! -Bill

I'm still trying to make up my mind what to do for pedals, besides sufering with the current ones. My biggest "problem" is I don't want another set of pedals under my desk. I'm about out of room now. MAdDAWG

>And don't even get me started on get things fixed thru a store like bestbuy. LOL, I just got my 19" monitor back (brand new one) after 5 months of dealing with, "We can't find anything wrong with it", "He's out to lunch", "It's his day off" etc. But after 2 days of some nasty and nice phone calls, whaalowlaa, 1 week later brand new (exact replacement) monitor hits my doorstep via UPS. It does pay to "Open a Can O'WhoopAss" on someone, heh. Didn't even have to call BestBuy. -- Daytona Beach - Winter Speed Carnival 1903 - 1935 1919 - Ralph DePalma Driving Champion and winner of hundreds of races, sets new 1 mile record driving 905 cubic inch V-12 Packard on beach at 149.875 mph.
