    Thrustmaster. Always been an awesome brandname for joysticks.

    Nice Wheel but WOW a lot of coin for a steering wheel seeing I picked up the G27 for $139

    • [Deactivated] on 15/06/2012 - 11:36

      I couldn't justify spending half of $619 on a wheel. Hell I had a G27 in my mitts at DSE during the sale and decided against it, lol.

  • nhutty on 15/06/2012 - 10:57

    do you have the shifter attachment as well?

    whats the bundle price for that?

    What advantages does this offer over a train, which I can also afford?

    This is the infamous official flagship GT5 steering wheel

    If this was made in Germany or Japan etc then I would sort of understand the price but if its made in China, its just not worth it.

    How much would it cost them to make these in China? Hardly nothing.

    wow…err…just a bit of warning (from experience)…if you're paying that sort of $$$ you'll want to buy a decent stand and racing chair for it, and that'll prob set you back another $400 lol

  • rokkz on 15/06/2012 - 12:03

    Just Advertising………..as $615.00 delivered here Aust Warranty…no bargain

    • Merlict on 15/06/2012 - 12:20

    G27 - $149 (DSE) or $195 Logitech direct vs $619 on this - I dont see this as a bargain at all, looks like the seller is throwing a false bait targeting the impulse shoppers - wrong approach!

    I think these wheels went for slightly higher $500 USD when they were first released in the states.
    If you can get the price below $550 I'll buy straight away.

    Or you guys could try importing the Fanatec CSR Elite bundle for a reasonable price. If I could get the CSR Elite for $50-$100 more than it would cost me if I lived in the states I'd also jump on it straight away.

    I'm still trying to work out how much it's going to cost me to import the CSR Elite but I can't justify the amount it costs in Australia at the moment.

    • docmartin on 15/06/2012 - 20:54

      Completely agree - pagaini have ridiculous prices for the CSR Elite and pedals. I'm waiting for Fanatec to finally set up distribution in Australia which they are apparently working on or have other retailers stock it so prices arent so inflated.

      Im wanting CSR elite, shifter, clubsport pedals. Then a nice rig to finally enjoy Forza!

  • ezarc on 15/06/2012 - 15:29

    This cost 3 times more than my car.
