how much does a G25 are going for right now??? ( i live in Canada )
cuz i would really like to get one too... since i love to play driving games!
In the ~Two years I've had it the only problem I've had is the reverse gear not engaging anymore.. which is really not a problem since you should not be reversing on a race track ... )
Yeah, I had that same problem with the reverse gear not working anymore... it is because the solder cracked and not holding the joint anymore. More detail as well as a fix in this posting here:

For good measures, I suggest putting a small strand of wire on each trace.
Thanks I'll probably check it out sometimes (might need to fix it for the PS3, on the PC i just assign the reverse to a button)
To the OP.. as mentioned the steering is useful for simulator type games. I've tried on many occasions to force myself to play arcade type games and I can never manage (half the time because the game does not have enough settings for to tune the wheel).
BTW, here's my ghetto setup. (Not nearly as nice as the Playseat above haha.. but most probably cheaper)
cool setup !! did you bolt the seat to the floor ?
Didn't bolt anything. The carpet seems to be doing a good job against sliding.
Was also fairly cheap to build, ~15$ of steel (I work for a steel fabricator), A six pack of beer for the stepbrother (welding). The Seat was the expensive part at 50$... could probably have shopped around more, but this one has an active side airbag in case I ... crash.
Where u got the seat from for around $50 ??? I was looking for a while to get a decent carseat like that but couldnt find anything "cheap" enough in the local car supply stores.
