Yeah I checked, it was a third party seller.

I figured it was discontinued, since even Logitech had been "sold out" themselves all year. And for the $150 blowout in January of this year, it seems feasible.

I guess we will be seeing the "G29/30" or a new branding. But they definitely have to combat the new Thrustmaster, Yamauchi fell in love with. And the GT is good to go for GT5 for cheaper of the high end, and Yamauchi wants more in a higher end wheel than what the G27 offers for range in all the physics. So I guess time will tell.
