Racing Wheel for PS3, suggestions
« on: June 18, 2011, 08:07:02 AM »
Just got my son the 320gig PS3, Any suggestions on a racing wheel? Anyone have one that works well,and would give a thumbs up on? Im looking in the $100.00 Range give or take. I saw the Thrustmaster Ferrari wheel and it has me a bit intrigued. Paddle shifters a must, its for F1 racing.

Thanks in advance.... :salute

I think I saw a Gran Turismo/Porsche branded wheel a while ago, it looked pretty nice. I think it had a stick and a clutch pedal and paddles unlike some other sticks. I'll see if I can look it up.

EDIT: Logitech G27 http://www.logitech.com/en-us/gaming/wheels/devices/5184
Not exactly what I remembered but DAMN  :O Your son would love you for ever and ever and ever and ever and ever if you got him this.

My 5yr old sons both use my Logitech Driving Force GT when they play NFS Hot Pursuit. Its a good wheel, force feedback but light enough for them - and can be used with a pc

While cant really help with racing wheel even though I have been looking for one as well because of gran turismo...

Ive heard the logitech one is good though.

Make sure take advantage of the 2 free games from sony on the playstation network store.
