DH has mentioned that he wants a flight simulator game for the computer (he loves the ones at dave and busters).

So, I went out and bought him Flight Simulator X for Vday. Now I need to buy a special controller. The one they had at Circuit City that was labelled flight simulator was over $100 (the game was $50)

I don't want to spend a fortune on this stuff cause I'm not sure that he'll actually play the game, or even like it once he tries it.

Can I just buy a joystick type thing? It doesn't mention anything on the box and the kid working at Circuit City had no idea.

Anyone have any idea what I need?

Help!
