ENJOY STICK
Maneuvering a jet responsibly at 600
knots takes your entire hand, not just
a thumb. So set aside your stock Xbox
360 or PS3 controller and upgrade
to this bad boy. Cyborg F.L.Y. 9 Flight
Stick is wireless and features a lap
mount. It’s the best wingman since Captain
Morgan. $100, cyborggaming.com

UP YOUR SCORES AND FRAG
THEIR FACES OFF WITH THESE PROPER
GAMING PERIPHERALS.
SPEED RACER
Like a $282,000 Scuderia, the Ferrari
Wireless GT Cockpit (for PS3/PC)
sports a fi ve-position Manettino dial and
metal shift paddles. Its magnetic resistance
brake pedal adds to the realism.
Not included: Ferrari maintenance
bills—and girls riding shotgun. $250,
red-collection.thrustmaster.com
ARCADE SPITFIRE
Being old-school doesn’t mean you can’t spice things
up on your PS3. Modeled after the Super Street Fighter
IV arcade cabinet, Hori’s Real Arcade Pro Premium
VLX is guaranteed to deliver beaucoup one-ups. Its
nine customizable buttons can be set to three turbo
speeds. No quarters required. $300, hori.jp/us
BATTLE AX
Shredding on Guitar
Hero is a lot like dryhumping:
feels rad,
lacks reality. The 360/
PS3 game Power Gig:
Rise of the SixString
not only requires you to
strum actual chords, but
its “controller” is a 100
percent legit guitar that
you can plug into any
amp and wail on. All you
need now is a drummer
who sleeps on your fl oor
(with your girlfriend).
$180, powergig.com
COMMU NI-
CATION
SHAKEDOWN
Houston, we have an ass
clown?! No problem. The
best part of Tritton’s AX
180 wireless headset
isn’t the stereo sound or
hassle-free pairing with
Xbox 360, PS3, and PCs;
it’s the portable control
unit, a remote that lets
you quickly adjust audio
levels on the fl y. If some
n00b you wasted in
Halo won’t stop bitching,
just crank up the sound -
track. $ 150, tritton
