The flightstick is made by Hori, which just happens to be a little side company to Saitek, which makes the X45 flightstick for PCs. Since it is USB, I wouldn't be surprised if Windows recognized it as a normal flightstick, yay!
AC5, GTA:SA, MGS3, GT4, Killzone, PStwo... my bank account won't be happy.

Ace COmbat doesn't strike me as being a 'realistic' game so I was thinking would a joystick like that actually be worth it for an arcade style game?
...and would it work for PC?

Yes, it should work, it's the exact same as the X45. The only difference is that it has the AC5 logo and has a gunmetal black faceplate instead of the gradient blue that the X45 has.
edit: Oh yeah, I pre-ordered the bundle too. Better get them quick, only 20,000 are available.

GTA : SA steals the limelight and AC5... well, stays in the shadows. I didn't know it was released on the same day though.
Oh well, I'll definitely get this game!
But first I need to send my PS2 for repairs.

Well, lets see them! I'm envious. It was a year to the day, yesterday, that my house was almost burned to the ground. Now, with this huge rain storm, my house runs the risk of being swipped away by a mud slide. I've been too busy to go out and buy, then play AC5.Viper Zero
Tell me what are the first few missions like with the new "team" you fly with. Is the finaly version similar to the demo?

No, it doesn't have an online mode. If it did, it would have the online compatible logo on the box.
The team mode is extremely useful. Your wingmen really do help you out. You can give the commands of Attack, Disperse, and Cover using the D-Pad. Being able to gang up on a target is very helpful for not only completing the mission, but saving ammo as well.
Targets on your radar now display colors relating to how damaged they are. White for undamaged, orange for slightly damaged, and red for heavily damage.
Graphics and in-game chatter have been improved greatly. The explosions and contrails from missiles are all particle effects and look real nice. The chatter is diverse and done well. I have yet to hear someone repeat themselves.
When you are able to buy your aircraft (around mission 5), you have to buy aircraft for yourself and your wingmen. I acted like a fool and bought the F/A-22 right off the bat and then found out I needed to buy everyone else an aircraft too. Anyway, you should be able to buy a F/A-18C for everyone, including yourself by mission 5. I'm not sure how mix and matching aircraft would work out. Have two F/A-18s go out and pound the ground while two F-14s take out the bandits.
Arcade mode has Operation Katina. It's a series of stages where you complete certain objectives under a time limit. You play as Mobius 1 in this mode.
The bundle is awesome, really awesome. You get the flighstick, the Wardog patch, and the game. The stick itself is very high quality and is very responsive. I did plug it into a USB port on my computer and Windows did recognize it. You will have to download the drivers from Saitek.com.
Enough talking, here's the pics:

Looks like my only request came true (:
"I hope it has USB Joystick support. Game developers need to take better advantage of the PS2's hardware capabilities!"
