I bought mine for $400 when GT5 came out, so this sounds cheap.

[Madaz]

hahahah was about to post this up

JUMP on it lads even if you don't use it that much it is an awesome bit of kit for $200

[EeLeYe]

Even with shipping costs only up to $15, it's a steal !!!

[iamhe77]

There are new ones on ebay for under $200 shipped just in case anyone is interested

[EeLeYe]

Why are they going so cheap? Is there a new wheel coming out? G29 ??

[iamhe77]

"Old" tech I guess.

link, found a few with many bids still rolling, and cheapest i found shipped was 245.

i would assume a new one would be a while off yet, they tend to make them last for a while.

Got 1 for 195, ordered it friday, recieved it monday.

Very happy with it. Loads better than my POS momo wheel. Now just waiting for Rfactor 2!! Woop woop!

[Madaz]

if you pay for rFactor 2 now they let your beta test it

[tweety bird]

these any good?

[liger]

if you play quite alot of racing games... yes

it adds a whole new dimension to the games, and not to mention quicker lap times on the track.

[LoNg_ShaNks]

Both the flatmate & I purchased one each for $195.

The main reason we bought them is due to our addiction to online drifting with GT5, however, we''ve found the G27 isn't very user friendly when it comes to the drifting aspect of the game but instead more towards the racing aspect. It may be due to the configuration/setup we're using but so far I'm regreting I ever made the purchase as I'm not a huge ps3 gamer & probably won't use the G27 once my GT5 phase wears out.

so if anyone knows a good drifting config/setup for GT5 with the G27... please post it!!!

[34GeeTeeTee]

Yeah I thought it sucked at first when drifting but you do get the hang of it, although the drift mode makes it too easy to slide, drifting in race mode is more fun

I paid $400+ for mine ages ago, these are crazy cheap!! The force feedback etc makes them great for gaming....

[Madaz]

Long_shanks - does it feel too firm?

you need to lessen the FFB control but not sure how you acheive this on PS3

[EeLeYe]

It can be done in the options menu of GT5.

By default, it's set to 50% FFB. Probably try drop it to 20-30%.

[liger]

it just takes practice to drift with the G25/27 on GT5. and alot of throttle control.

the easiest way to learn how to drift in the game using the wheel is just running a normal race with whatever car you want to drift. or run practice mode if you dont want other cars around.

run the car you want to run, no traction control, ABS is up to you. and start to use a bit more power on the exit of the turns, i'm not talking about stabbing it to 100% throttle straight away. but a bit more than what you usually would. then once your comfortable with it, start putting more power on at half way through the turn, then at the start and finally before the turn even starts.
