It's all meaningless without one of these:

I have a G25. The mounts on it suck depending on your table. I would shift into 2nd gear and pull the entire shifter mount off the table.

 

Respectfully disagree.

I have two Fanatec wheels. They are great. 6sp, clutch pedal, paddles.

I bought the second one to be XBox compatible.

These are the clubsport pedals.

 

This is a sample wheel:

 

I am going to buy the g25.. Arent the fanatec ones like 600$?

 

fanatec typically releases a new wheel in stages. The first batch is cheaper, and each following batch gets more and more expensive. They also come separate from the pedals, etc.

if you're going to spend the money on a G25, you may as well put up the little bit extra for the 27 unless you have a specific reason not to.

 

Looking at their web page, it looked like they had the one pictured above for $350, including wheel, 6+1 shifter, and 3-pedal setup with ABS feedback in the brake pedal.

ABS/lockup feedback was what I always thought was missing, because in GT5:Prologue, my braking was terrible, and I assumed it was because I was locking up the brakes and skidding... however, there's no way to feel that in a game.

 

With an infant in the house, I don't have time to play video games very much so I'm not interested at all in a game that requires a monthly fee. I agree it looks great, but I won't be able to play it enough to justify what it costs. Ten years ago I would have been interested, but life has changed too much the past few years.

 

The steering wheel is phenomenal.

 

on ebay after shipping and everything, its like 240-250 for a g25. I can get a brand new g27 for 275$ so that is the route I am taking.
