The Thrustmaster Ferrari Force Feedback GT!

I'm going to get one of those for $100, think that's a good price with a gear shifter, pedals and all, and I'm looking very much forward to that! GPL will be easy-peasy now. (Well, at least a little easy-peasier than it was without a wheel )
The cool thing is that it's compatible with the PS2.

Looks ok but this is the Sh*t

Act Labs.

Compact racing wheel with 280-degree turning radius
11 programmable functions
7 buttons on wheel face
Aluminum diamond-cut dash plate
Unique Future Proof RS EngineTechnology
Analog gas/brake pedals
Solid pedal base prevents tipping and slipping
4-way D-pad (mounted middle)
Effective clamping system with adjustable tension sliders (fits most tables)
F1-style gear shifters

FUTURE PROOF

The cartridge technology of the ACT LABS RS makes your racing system "future proof". ACT LABS will offer new RS Engine cartridges as soon as new console platforms emerge. Rest assured that your ACT LABS RS will always be 100% compatible.


7 forward gears plus reverse
Shift to any gear, at any time using full gear mode
Ultra realistic shifting with "true" gear resistance
Compatible with Force RS or RS Racing Systems

You can also buy a stand alone version if you already have a wheel, but it only works with the games that are programmed for it.

Grand Prix Legends
NFS : Porsche Unleashed
NASCAR Racing 4
World Sports Cars (not out yet, looks like the new benchmark in racing sims)
4x4 Evolution

The game has to be programmed to use a gate style shifter.

Shift from 5th, right to reverse instead of down through all the gears


And here is the extra plates

The force RS system with the gate shifter (its an add on, you can just get the wheel with an F1 style shifter and brake and gas) and no clutch is 190 US.

The basic, none gate shifter and no clutch and non force wheel is 70 US.

The gate shifter is $60 US with a 6 gate shifter, the extra shifters are 6 bucks.

And its 20 US for each cartridge, so you can use it with all your different consoles.

Hey Semmern, it ships from Holland in addition from US and Can

So if you wanted the WHOLE deal, wheel, clutch pedal, and gate shifter with all the plates. It would be:

$262 US, you get a special deal for buying it all together.

If you want the whole thing but in none force version it would be.

$202 US.

Not really cheap, but it does get really good reviews, and I love the way it will work with all kinds of different systems and is upgradable with the clutch and shifter and should work with any popular future systems.

I'm thinking of getting the none force version. And then adding on the shifter later.
