Summary: 5 Stars
GREAT Wheel, and I did say great, enhanced gameplay tremendously. the force feedback really gives you a feel for the road. I highly recommend this steering wheel for anyone who is really into roadgames, after using the wheel you will see just what you have been missing in the game experience. Customer Review: Wheel
Summary: 5 Stars
The playstation 3 wheel works great. The handling is very good. I'm please with the wheel.Customer Review: Excellent Wheel
Summary: 5 Stars
+Very durable/solid feeling (no creaks); doesn't move around when clamped down to a table.
+Force feedback is very powerful when turned all the way up in-game.
+900 degree turning feels more realistic than than non-900 degree wheels
+Extra tuning dials for GT5 Prologue; I think this is the only wheel that has this feature.
+Pedals have a claw that prevents it from moving forward on carpeted floors.
+Shifter stick is easily reachable with your fingers while not having to take your right palm off the wheel.
+GT logo lights up
-PS button doesn't work unless the game is programmed to use it (so far only GT5 Prologue can use it); you still need to use a PS3 controller to access the XMB.
other thoughts:
*Start/Select buttons could have been placed in a better position.
*Would've been nice if the shifter stick could be toggled to act as L1/R1 or L2/R2 buttons (most PS2 games don't recognize the shift stick so you have to use the other buttons to shift).
*Lots of wires, but they're long enough; wheel to system, pedal to wheel, and power adapter.
*The GT logo button doesn't do anything.
*Noisy, though that's probably the case will all force feedback wheels.
*These usb wheels are not backwards compatible with PS1 games because the PS1 wheels use controller port connectors instead of usb connectors.
*Some reviewers say that it will not clamp onto thicker tables, but they obviously have not read the manual. If you have a thick table, be sure to remove the two extensions on the clamps so it can fit. I have a 2" thick table and it fits perfectly.
Games I've tested with on PS3 60GB:
Gran Turismo 3 - Works; no 900 degree steering.
Gran Turismo 4 - Works very well.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - Works perfectly; this wheel was designed for this game.
GRID - Works very well.
R Racing Evolution - Doesn't work well; for some reason I cannot get full acceleration.
Ridge Racer V - Not supported.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 - Works; no 900 degree steering or shift stick support.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift - Works well; no 900 degree steering or shift stick support.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 - Works well; no 900 degree steering or shift stick support.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero - Not supported.
Fast shipping from Amazon even with Free Super Saver shipping, and item arrived in perfect condition. I was going to buy this a few months ago but I'm glad I waited because they've dropped the price now. Very satisfied with this wheel.
Customer Review: Great item if you love racing games!
Summary: 5 Stars
I play Grid and Initial D on my ps3 with this steering wheel and it's so much better than the first version of it. I recommend this item to you if you enjoy racing games. Force feedback makes you feel like you're behind the wheel and it's very sturdy. On the down side the only thing you have to worry about with this item is your connections. You have a USB for the system that you use it on and also a power supply that needs to be powered for the force feedback. Other than that, it's a great item.
