Thrustmaster Officially Licensed T500RS Gran Turismo 5 Racing Wheel And Pedals (PC / PS3)

Hi all, had to put my two cents in.Took the plunge and bought my 1st wheel from Play the T500rs & a Wheel Stand Pro had it for 4 days.Awesome wheel.Rock solid, uber smooth and full of feedback.The stand fits like a glove.I liked GT5 could see the amount of work put into the physics but "do i drive my real world car with a ps3 controller?"i found it hard to hold a trigger or analogue stick at the half-way point often needed for a constant radius corner for example not any more! Read and watched everything i could before buying, its not cheap but the quality can be felt, i'm pretty into driving and cars, read the mags, watch tv shows related to cars did a supercar experience day in oxford,uk (highly recommended-check out "u drive cars") so maybe only someone like me will really get the sheer joy of driving "The Green Hell" Nurburgring in a great exotic with the wheel,but so far the T500rs is better than i could have hoped! just bought Dirt 3 it works perfectly with the wheel,has more wheel adjustment options than GT5.It is less of a pure racer than GT5 alittle more relaxed and fun,but the graphics,physics & "one more go" at getting the 1st place time are all present,great game will play a lot more. I hope this helps people make the decision to buy or not at least have more detailed info, i couldn't find many reviews from new T500RS owners like me around, but professional reviews helped make my decision clear.

hi have had this for about 2 week now and is well made have only used as a h pattern 7 speed plus reverse there is another option but in my view no point using. i am using with playstation 3 and maybe soon with my new laptop i also using with the t500rs wheel and pedal set.
yes is both are expensive but you pay for what you get.
purchased both from play.com paid extra for next day deliverly on wheels and pedals and received them the next day. the gear lever was out of stock at time of order but received the day after the wheel without carriage fees was well impressed with that. if honested feel sick paying out carriage on wheel when i received this the day after but i did want it before xmas so is a bit bitter sweet.
i wish to thank you all at play.com for the excellent service i have recieved to date and in the pastand hope you can keep it up in the new year and beyond.
