Tempted to pick up a wheel and this.. but struggling to find a decently priced PC/PS3 wheel. I'd love to get a 430 one, but it's PC only.

Thinking about getting the Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Experience Racing Wheel 3-in-1 or the Thrustmaster RGT Force Feedback Clutch Wheel.

Just ordered the wheel too. Was trying to decide between this and the Logitech Driving Force GT. Difficult decision as both have good and bad points after reading various reviews. Was hoping it'd be on this week only from OcUK but unfortunately wasn't, surprised to see it was quite a bit cheaper from elsewhere. I'm sure he'll enjoy it!

Yeap looks good, I think it was the universal thrustmaster 5 in 1 that has no drivers. Or does that now cover the 5 in 1 as well?
 
If all you have dispatch emails from play then I guess I'll have one too, not checking home email at work :')

Gonna have some fun online at the weekend!

Lol, suspicions were right.

Gets past the initial loading screen every time with the mechanical HDD. It's almost as if the content loads before the actual loading screen comes up when its off the SSD, therefore the game misses the trigger to continue onto the main menu.

It's not a crash to desktop, it's just that the loading screen gets stuck into an infinite loop and never actually progresses past it.

I'll get a video recorded in a bit to show what I mean, but if im right then this could become a common problem with fast SSD's!
