I was looking for a link to a high res picture of the X52 Pro and found this place. Nice.

I'll be taking a serious look at this puppy when it hits the shelves.

If it was force feedback, I'd buy it on the spot.

I just wish they would make a rocker version as I don't care for twist too much.


And welcome to Joystick Required.

This seems to be available now. I added it to our list on the front page if you want to purchase one through Amazon.

Even if I didn't own an X52 I don't really see anything worth an extra $100. It seems like the MFD is the only non-aesthetic upgrade and unless you specifically play a game that supports it (such as the named MS Flight Sims) you're not going to get much out of it.

Of course, I also said the same thing with the price difference from the X45 when the X52 first came out (and I ended up buying an X52, to boot), so I'm probably just being overly cynical.
