G25 Logitech Steering Wheel

[Dean_HR31]

Hey guys,

I saw this at JB Hi Fi the other day... it is exactly what ur after if u want a PROPER steering wheel setup for a console.

Check out this link - http://www.itech.com.au/products/11965_LOG...FOR_PC_PS1.aspx

Its the first steering wheel ive seen that ISNT made of plastic and has 2 full locks just like a real car!! I'm sounding like a big gamer geek now but im just excited as im buying an xbox with forza this week lol.

Anyway im thinking of running head first into a wall because from what i can see its only suitable for PC and PS3!

Anyone have any knowledge on this???

my mate told me about this the other day. He saw it at jb and wanted to buy one. I think he said it costs $400

[Dean_HR31]

Im going to cry!!!

So it doesnt run on the xbox 360!!?

Anyone know if this can be arranged in any way with chipping or anything at all???

I just want to play forza with this steering wheel!

Computer shops in perth sell the G25 for around $290

[G3TFKD]

woah!! i bought my G25 for $340

LOVE IT!!! best games for it is Test Drive Unlimited and RFactor. uses the H-shifter and clutch adn EVERYTHING

you can even stall it! its soooo COOL

by the way, i use it on PC and PS2. yet to try it on PS3 but cant wait for gt5p

but yeh, it wont work on xbox

Seen G25's at centrecom nunawading (victoria) for very cheap (maybe $245), or try ebay. It's straight PnP for PC, good luck trying to get it to work for X-box.

a seller on ebay sells the G25 steering wheel sets every 7 or so hours, i just bought one for $250 inc postage, looked through and some sold for under $200.

Much better then the $400 at EB

The G25 unit is great for a serious gamer. You need a good setup to mount it to though

Only works on PS3 and PC... it's really suited to PC games more than PS3 though

Well once I have now got Prologue and have had a G25 for ages now so I guess I will find out how it goes with the PS3. It goes nicely with the GT Prologue demo but no clutch support. From what I hear the real Prologue (downloading updates for it now) supports the clutch.

Triptych can you pm me letting me know if the clutch works after u give it a shot. I'm installing the update now too hehe. Gettin the wheel 2moro though..

EDIT: FFS Error occurred durin update at like 95%. :@

what a burn!! the wheel is so cheap now!

and please let me know if the clutch works as well =D

*prays that it does*

[TommO]

Yeah the clutch works, you've gotta use the controller to activate it every time you start a race but it's easy enough

(I was just playing then so am 100%)

[Dean_HR31]

Hang on, so Gran Turismo 5 has a clutch????

Are you guys telling me i can fan the clutch mid way through a bend in say 3rd gear? lol

Is there a button for the clutch using the normal controller????

[TommO]

No idea on the button but yeah GT5 works with my clutch pedal fine

[Dean_HR31]

I was playing gran turismo 5 at jb hi fi yesterday and u didnt need a clutch to change gear??

Is it in the options or something where u can select the clutch to operate??

Please explain

[TommO]

Yeah you turn it on by pressing triangle button during the start of a race on the PS3 controller

[Dean_HR31]

So once its on by pressing triangle do u NEED the clutch to change gears & take off etc?? I hope so!

Let me know...

This sounds like fun

[G3TFKD]

it will be like driving a real car just without the bumps and the feel of the road

[Triptych]

Yeah the clutch works fine and it is needed to change gears once enabled. On the G25 the buttons located on the Shifter unit act the same as controller buttons. So if you look above the D-Pad you will see 4 buttons (not the red ones below it) and if you know you PS controller well those 4 buttons are the same for square, X, Triangle and Circle.
