It isn't a top end price (Although it is expensive, yes!)
And far more poeple are happy and had no problems with their wheels, but you don't hear from them as they are too busy racing to type any messgaes, you only hear the negative things!
In short, any new product has major drawbacks if you listen to the bad publicity, look at the Xbox360, people moaning about disc scratches and overheating, but it was on a low scale (less that 3% total AFAIK), but it the same as the G25, it's worth the money!!!!
