im seriously considering this, but im looking at EBgames website... 150!? thats nuts. Anywhere else sell it for cheaper?

 

I searched EBGames and could not find any Logitech product for $150.

Other than that, I have no idea what a "Logitech Pro" is, since half their stuff is Logitech Pro something.

 

i saw it on www.newegg.com for 109 with i think 3.50 shipping since you're in CA thou they're gonna charge tax

 

amazon, and you can get the laptop attachment cheap

104.98 with free shipping link

123.96 including the lap attachment and free shipping (middle of page)

 

I read that the lap attachment is pretty much worthless because of the amount of force feedback in the wheel... the review said it just twists you all over. They said it needs to be clamped down to a table. I got mine last night

 

Man, you guys think $150 is a lot for a wheel? That's nothing on the PC side of the fence. If you want to talk $'s, check out the rigs from companies like ECCI.

 

For all the Canadian peeps, I grabbed the wheel from Futureshop- but only after price matching with Tiger Direct- I think I paid one forty- and it definately needs to be clamped down..

 

:overkill:

 

Not overkill. Just a matter of how "serious" you are. An uber-wheel like that will definitely knock time off your laps. Many years ago, I purchased a Thomas Super Wheel and had reduced my ICR2 laptimes by almost a second within one week. Now days I'm living with one of the red Logitech Momo's.

um...

 

OK, I gotta ask.... why the flut would you ever need 900 degrees of rotation? Are people driving parallel parking sims or something?

 

should be helpful for me when I go crashing into the walls and end up ass backwards

 

like a real car?

 

sorry didn't see the stealth links....stop tryin to be with the embedded code.....

 

In a real car, when do you ever use more than 180-200 worth of travel? Only when you're going REALLY slow. How many driving games are there that require you to do anything at really slow speeds except pull out of the pits or garage?

 

obviously you have never taken a fun car to an auto-x ...

edit: at least i assume... take it out on a track with some u-turns and say you dont get more than a half turn

 

all i could think of was...

Longfellow Deeds: Whoa, you kinda snuck up on me there...
Emilio: I am, very very sneaky Sr.

 

You got me there, but I would personally categorize a u-turn on an autocross course as a definite exception to the world of racing games. I just think 900 degrees is more of a marketing ploy than a practical feature. I've been sim-racing since Papyrus' first Indycar game and I've nver used anything that had more than 180 degrees of travel and I've been quite happy. Regardless, the current Logitech unit seems to be the way to go for the PS2. I just don't view the 900 degrees thing as having much value.

 

You underestimate my sneakiness........

great bit.

 

Today I told my co-workers that I had to use the bathroom, went to EB Games 2 miles from my work and got the Game and the wheel for $215, tax included. Gosh, what else will people do just to get the full experience out of this game?

I shouldn't have promised my supervisor that I'll work overtime this week...I could be playing the game right now.

 

so is this lap attachment a waste of money or what? if you dont buy the lap attachment then you would just leave the wheel on a table or something right?

 

You can attach the wheel to a table, and it's really easy to do and comfortable if you have a really small table. Kinda makes you feel like you're sitting in a go cart.

I don't know how well the lap attachment works, but if it moves at all, then I wouldn't get it because it's gonna suck.

 

Frys Electronics out here on the Left Coast has the Force Pro in the Friday Ad for Today for $99 (Which means this price is good till Tuesday night next week)
Also...
GT4 for 49.99
and a PS2 AV Cable with Component Video and Optical Audio for $49.99

 

Just an FYI, I'm pretty certain Fry's ads are regional. I've gone to my local Fry's twice after reading about deals in a SoCal ad and a Vegas ad. On both occassions, the same deals were nowhere to be found up here in Chicago. I just wanted to throw that out there before anyone outside of Left Coast makes a trip. It's probably best to call first.
