LL is promoting 3dConnexion's SpaceNavigtor joystick for use in SL. I went to 3dConnexion's website to buy one @ standard US$ 59 , where the SL promotion throws in a free set of headphones (est US$ 10 retail).

Got hit with $ 12.50 minimum shipping fee, imo ripoff. Annoyed. Thought about it, continued. Then got hit again with USA sales tax US$ 4 . Total about US$ 75 . Got pissed.

Went to Amazon, cost for new SpaceNavigator was US$ 52, free shipping, no sales tax, no headphones. I am happy camper. doh..... ;-)

I wish I could get one in Germany for any of those prices. At Amazon it's 55 EUROS. Meh.

I wouldn't buy anything from Amazon, even if it was 1 peso.

Rat bastards.

Get it from NewEgg instead:

Just find someone- possibly an SL neighbor - who would be willing to buy said object and ship it to you at cost in $L.

If you're thinking about buying some Adobe Software.. you can buy the Space Navigator, at CompUSA or TigerDirect, and if you buy qualifying Adobe software, you can get a $20 rebate.

Amazon UK is best for UK buyers, at just under £40.

The Linden offer of Headphones will not work on the 3Dconnexions UK web site, think Linden miss leading us. Linden should make an amendment to say USA only.
