Really, whats not to understand about wanting a wheel for a racing game? Dont be a doofus.

i just dont see the point to spending $300 on a wheel. and then creating some custom cock pit so i can use it with any form of comfort. I would rather just use the sticks because they provide you with the same result

Those Fanatec's are kickass, the brake pedal vibrates when you lock up the wheels :cool: Just a little too much price wise for me.

edit: nvm, the ones that do that aren't compatible with 360

It has been proven on GTPlanet that people with wheels are in a different class of racing times than people on DS3's. They are almost a full second faster on the time trial charts. You have a lot more finesse around turns, and you can pull chicanes a lot smoother, etc.

If you are really bored this guy has a huge writeup on his experiences going from DS3 to G25

I had a wheel back when I played GT2....

I thought it was pretty neat to have and honestly when I got into Forza 2 a few years ago I thought about getting a wheel for it. It just makes things better. Hard to explain. Maybe its because I don't really like game controllers all that much.

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Its like using a controller for FPS amirite ;)

Anyways...the detail they put into Rome is sick (1:15)

That is the official wheel for Gran Turismo, and there are a lot of people that like it. The G27/25 are just more customizable and have more features, main one being paddle shifters.
