Hey guys, looking into buying a wheel at some point so just trying to find the best one for the money i have, don't want to spend anything over £50 for a wheel because well, i wont use it a whole lot. Anyway i was looking at this one http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GC-004-SL&groupid=702&catid=288&subcat=353

Does anyone have this ? is it any good ? what's the force feedback like ?

only turns 90 degrees each way.
See if you can pick up a second hand DFGT, very good wheel for occasional use.

Is that not just for a 360?

Try and 'bid' for a Driving force GT, plenty out there.

Try the marketplace on this forum or other forums that deal with Audio Visual stuff

Are you buying off a mate? if so try it out, make sure the FF works with you current OS.

I remember when I had a DFGT had to install as admin in Win7 compatibility mode on Win8 64bit, otherwise would recognise as a Logitech Momo wheel.

No not buying from a friend, just someone from gumtree

can the driving force gt be used with both pc and ps3?? or are there specific versions for console and pc??

Another vote for the DF GT. Usually £40-50 secondhand.

Most of the Logitech wheels are PS2/PS3 and PC compatible. DF GT is fine.

Going to get the DriveFX today, see how that goes. Don't know if i will use it enough to warrant an upgrade, but if i did a DF GT would be the best one to get for a low price ?
