Ah, dang. I'm not sure getting them fixed. All I've heard is the red ring beast. Maybe Gamestop to sell it and all the games there?

Me too! The weather in GT5 looks incredible!!!! Its pretty annoying that my youtube link from a few posts above, and I guess it was killed on YT. It was pretty awesome. I'll find another video of it, because it was pretty awesome.

[EDIT]
I updated my up post, but its not HD anymore... Maybe copyrighted...

Mmhm! Especially the water drops on the windshield, whilst getting pushed away from the wipers. A lot of the TGS trailers are being taken down... The music on that trailer is a bit awkward though, with the horses neighing.

I got my wheel today, I'm starting to think you are right, I tried using a small table and on hard turn I felt like the table was gonna go flying

glad I have a lil over a month of testing it before GT5 comes out. If you get that stand from ebay, let me know how you like it. I'm worried about the whole thing moving forward and back, I dont see what would keep it stuck to the ground. W/ the other full out chassis stands, its your own weight keeping it stable, still not sure whats the best option is

Check em out. Kind of annoying that the GT3 wheel isn't compatible with the 360 since I'm looking for a wheel for both systems.

Fanatec FTW:



The Turbo S wheel works for the 360, PS3, and PC. It really makes the price worthwhile. I really can't wait to use this wheel with GT5.

I can't wait until they release the clubsport 6speed shifter (will be made out of aluminum and feel a lot more realistic like the clubsport pedals).

Fanatec:
Clubsport Pedals: $200
Shifter: $50
911 Turbo S Wheel (PS3, 360, PC: Only Wheel 3 Way Compatible): $350
Total: $600

Logitech:
G27: $210
Playseats Evolution: $329
Total: $539

my friend has the fanatec and although it is nice, imo it does not justify the $390 price difference between the g27. the g27 is like right behind the fanatec minus the brake feedback vibration which i don't believe many games are supporting anyway.

and with the g27 setup i can get the play seats evolution seats and still save $61 over the fanatec setup without a mounting setup.

PS: m3sparky what seat is that?

you can get the gt3 rs wheel which has had alot of improvements recently and they got it ready for the gt5 game, but it wont play xbox.

i just picked up the rs wheel and clubsport pedals for 370$ since i threw my xbox away, forever.


the chair i actually found a company that was selling off their inventory last fall , and they only wanted 100 bux for the frame and seat, its called gt evolution. its pretty comfy and sturdy, no matter how hard u race it is not going anywhere. so i think i got a deal there
oh and i got it on ebay.

by the looks of it , the evolution playseat is one of the better deals for a nice adjustable chair. anyone have it that can give us a review on its durability?
