Thrustmaster Details Its Super Pricey GT5 Controller

Metal, not medal.

OT: It sounds.... Ridiculous.

Well for $600 it better be made of medals.

I use a G25 racing wheel which cost me about $300. It may not be as accurate as the Thrustmaster wheel, but it has 920 degree rotation, comes with 3 pedals and an H-shifter.

The G27 (the successor) costs $299.99 USD, provides some improvements. To me it's not worth a $600 dollar price tag.

By putting together a train of logic, demonstrating familiarity with the brands and devices in question, and admitting that you are giving something up for a lower price, you identify yourself as outside the target of my original post.

I also use a Logitech wheel, but I'd rather have the TM, in all honesty. For all the reasons I already stated.

Nothing simulates that more then sitting in a still enviorment as your car looks more like a room.

I think I'll stick with my Fanatec Turbo S Wheel Clubsport. For less then $500 it came with two different kinds of shifters and it works with 360. I can understand paying for quality, but there is a line where it becomes gouging. In other words "Look how expensive it is?! It must be good!"
