I'm going to purchase the Logitech Driving Force GT wheel from Amazon in a couple of days time, it will cost me £71.99.

It has:

I was wondering if anyone had this wheel or used it, and if you do, what is it like for you?

Never had it, want one to try it tough

Steering wheels suck.

After a week of purchasing it, you're going to get sick of it.



I bought the above steering wheel racing pack for £150. After paying so much for a steering wheel (£150 - half the price of a PS3 games console), you would imagine it would be out of the world. No, not really.

I thought it would be awesome, but after a week I was extremely dissatisfied.

I can assure you, you will be feeling the same way I did after a while.

That looks like a PS2 steering wheel from the cable at the bottom, PS3 driving experience I can assure is much much more better, and there are many games to feast on.

You rang?
On topic though, I can't ever imagine myself buying a wheel for a game. :/

I bought one once. Not those OMG 1337 PR0 stuff, but something that costed me like 55 dollars. It was nice to play games like Need for Speed, Live for Speed, GTA SA, etc.
It's a cool thing. The sad thing is that it only worked a few months. :~

This one is awsome whit 3 pedals

[Fabio]

This is how I setted it up with my PS3 in my sitting room:





It also works with many games Ive tryed on PS3 and PC.

I'd rather buy a joystick. And most likely without force feedback, because it's disturbing IMHO (and makes the controller cost a lot more).

But that's because I play quite a lot in various games, and a joystick is a more versatile controller than a steering wheel.

I got to agree the the Logitec G25 wheel is one of the best on the market. It has 3 stainless steel pedals with a fully wraped Wheel. Personally I use a Logitech Momo for all my racing simulations..

[Myggen]

G27 is not at the marked..

[samiir]

They sell them in belgiu m for 312 euro. By the way does driving steer works good on NFS Shift.

[TheRock]

I've got a simple:



Which I bought like 3 years ago for 40 euros...

and it is really nice with NFS:Shift

I heard that Logic3 wheels are really poor quality.

[Myggen]

It is looking really, really bad indeed
