I bought mine at Target here in Austin. They came with some crappy speakers there for free. I'm thinking about taking mine back since the force feedback was causing me to lose control a lot and it makes the game much harder. I would think that a wheel should help improve your control of the game, not make it harder and fight you. It's also pretty obvious that they just took their computer wheel and put a GT3 badge on it. The cords are barely 6 ft long and it requires a plug for the AC adapter and that the wheel be clamped to a table. Who has a sturdy table within 6 feet of their TV that they can clamp a wheel to?

Anyways, I was excited about it, but was sorely disappointed when I got it. Good thing Target has a generous return policy.

So does that mean if I already have the logitech force-feedback wheel for the PC it will work with the PS2 & GT3?

I had a V3 wheel and I couldn't drive straight to save my own life. I returned it and found the hand controller easier to use.

I don't know. They may have done something to prevent it from working, but the wheel and pedals look identical to the PC version, other than colors. The biggest problem I have with that is that the cords are way too short for use with a video game system. If you have the PC wheel and a PS2 with GT3 give it a try and let us know if it works.

The Logitech WingMan Formula Force GP wheel is the same thing as the Logitech GT Force wheel.

Bestbuy sell them for $99.99 but they have a $20.00 rebate from Logictech now.

IMO this is a better buy since it's $20.00 cheaper....

I have the wheel(got it from CompUSA in Arlington$89 with speakers).
I need to make a table to put it on. I have only tried it once and I am much better with
the regular controllers. But I have read that once you get use to it it will work better than the controls. After I build a small table for it, get a USB extension cord, and build some kind of stand for the pedals I am going to devote a day to mastering the wheel.
