According to Kazunori's tweet the price is 500$. And that's without a shifter.

PC compatibility should be self-explanatory, shouldn't it?

$500 dollar is prbably Japanese price, because a G25 costs $450 over there.

Pretty sucky that it's more expensive then a G27 while it has no shifter. I could do with the wheel only, just for the bigger wheel and 1080 degrees steering
Or i'm just gonna mod the G27 to 1080 degrees.

It looks like the DFP and the G25 had sexy time and this was the result.
looks good though (the wheel, not the image of two controllers doing the big nasty).

Also, if someone told me they had a Thrustmaster T500, I would think they bought it in a sex shop. The wheel does 1080°. They could have played with that a bit and called it the HD or something other than what they have now. They may as well called it the Joy-giver 3000.

Nice

Great

Just an FYI for everyone, the wheel WILL feature a gated shifter, but it will be sold separately.

I like how they've put a 16+ age rating on the wheel
But I can just see it now, people not following that and their kids ending up with broken thumbs.

I know someone on here actually posted that their G25 broke their thumb at some point, so if this is that much more powerful it could be an issue.

Now we just have to see if Logitech decides to come back with a better unit of their own. I really want to see racing wheels get to the point that even the lower end ones have really good feature sets, and thats whats going to happen if companies compete for the best.

It was a guy who heard a sound while countersteering. He went to bed, and the next day he wen to a hospital to see his mother. It was at that moment when the doctor said that thumb looked bad, and went to the X-ray to see that it was really broken.

I'm sure it has to hurt a lot, but I found this case funny

The source (link in OP) is Kaz's tweet. Since he lives in a completely Japanese world he probably just converted the Japanese price to USD. So that wasn't supposed to mean 500 yens.

i think he was joking.

There's new info about the wheel! It'll be released 12/25 on EU and 1/5 on America.

why would you need a clutch pedal without a H-shifter?

but pedals looks still very nice and they motivated me to mod g25 pedals

Quote from www.madshrimps.be :

Gamers will notice that having 3 pedals at their disposal not only enhances the level of realism, but it also gives them a taste of what’s to come with the addition of an independent gear stick, which will also be available from Thrustmaster in the coming months.

.

ah, sorry
it has been also mentioned above and i didn't saw it.

Want . I think it beats my DFP...

if it can respond faster than a g25 it will be cool.

big caster self centre driftu ftw, but 1080deg would be like driving a bus if its not responsive enough. 3 turns like a bmw ugh lol

Speed rotation looks like same than FREX or ECCI :hyper:

Would hate to have a finger get caught in there

omg it costs about 500 € in germany -.-

IT SPINS SO FAST

Seems like a nice wheel, way more than I wanna pay though. I'll stick to my years old G25.

Seems like they got it pretty damn quickly.

500 euros?

500 euros for a wheel that works with 2 games for the PS3, and 0 for PC. The clutch also doesn't work, as it won't without the shifter that you have to buy as an extra. Great deal.

Nice pictures found on other forums by 1st consumers::Eyecrazy:
