So what then? Another 75-100 bucks for the pedals and H-pattern? Don't even need the H-pattern if you don't mind flappy paddles. You could always buy a used one off E-bay...

You can get $0.99 release date delivery if you live in the 48 lower states in the US on Amazon (if you plan to order online). FYI

What do you guys think of:

?

I reckon it's great for playing GT5, but damn I'd smack my friends in the mouth if they handed it to me for a game of Tekken

Yeah, read on the TopGear website that Vettel posted a lap time at Suzuka like 20 seconds faster than his current best in the RB6.

Haha that's awesome. Was just thinking... If this game has 24 hour endurance races, why not throw in the Baja 1000 and let you choose from the 11 different classes to race in, minus dirt bikes and quads I guess. But everything else should be open game.

Can't really say I'm impressed by that, you can make stuff o whatever speed you want and handle however you want in videogames, so it's not exactly a feat of engineering

I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than just "make it go this fast and handle this well." That car could do those times if it was real. No one said anything about it being a feat of engineering, it's just awesome to see what you can do when you have no boundries.

G27 or nothing. Seriously. Don't bother with anything else cuz they're shit compared to the G27.

So I hear you drive a Bugatti Veyron as your every day vehicle Iceman?

I prefer the G25 to the G27. Also, it's half the price if you can still find one.

Lots of Fanatec wheels are pretty damn good too.

That said, I know what you mean - cheap wheels are shit. You're better off with a controller. If you don't have decent force feedback you get no real feel for what's going on. I've used the official X-Box MS wheel with Forza a lot and tbh it's probably worse than the controller - makes it more fun, but it's not as responsive.

Hasn't arrived today - order tracking says tomorrow....

What I would do for a kickass surround sound system, solid force feedback wheel and GT5 right now.
