The Logitech G25 is here!!!

I believe its an 13" Wheel diameter? Which would be the same size as some real racing wheels. The DFP is around 11" and thats about the same as any other wheel I have owned.
 
What are the chances of hooking this thing up to a PS3?

I find it hard to beleive that Logitech would just make this PC and PS2 compatible.. but I would be very sad if I get a PS3 and I can't use this thing on it?!

any news?

thanks

I just got this baby in today, at first I was amazed how small the box was compared to the MOMO and Microsoft wheels.

If you are a race sim fan you MUST BUY ONE NOW!!! I absolutely love it. You can adjust the amount of degrees the wheel can turn to match the car your driving in game, the force feedback is amazing, just everything about it is pefect... except for the reverse gear.(you have to push the knob down and drop it into 6th).

If you have 300 bucks right now don't think twice!

Here are some seksie pics:

My old MOMO is now going to be retired. :D

Wheels in the price range don't get any better than this. Logitech did an amazing job.

Sorry to bring this thread up, but Bop, do you find it comfortable using the G25 with Jerker desk? I mean it(desk) has a deep groove and wheel is deeper than the shifter, which means, you have to move your hand back everytime you want to change gear. Is it still comfy?

It works great, it never really bothered me.

What does bother me is that the pedals keep slipping back on the hardwood floor. :(
 
I also use the G25 with the Jerker desk. It is uncomfortable to actually use the 6 speed shifter as a real shifter. I've been using it as a handbrake in games like NFS:MW and FlatOut2 and that is fine. But for GTR2 or TDU I think I'll build a little stand or something.

Try putting some clear silicon adhesive-backed feet on the rubber feet that are already there. They stick better to slick surfaces. You should be able to find a package of a couple of dozen feet for a couple of dollars at wally-world or something.
 
Thanks for info Bop and MusicGuy, I guess it's about individual preference. I think I'll get both Jerker desk versions(you know there are 2, plain one, and the one Bop has), and try G25 with them both.

Edit: btw MusicGuy, what is the main reason that you find it uncomfortable?
 
Better yet, use the hardpoints on the wheel, and [H]ARD mount it to something.
 
Have you guys tried WTCC Race? Its released through Steam and its pretty much GTR2, with 4 cyl. cars and mostly front wheel drive, so I'm sure the Force feedback should feel a bit different. Also the netcode is way better so multiplayer is actually playable.

No matter how I adjust my chair, the shifter is too high for me to find natural. It'll do until I can build or buy a frame to mount it on.

That's precisely what it reminds me of, lol; my friend's 03 Civic SI. I'm used to shifter placement like in the camaro/firebird or corvette. Anyway, it's certainly usable but you won't find me racing a 3 hour race like that.

Lucky for me I'm used to it ;)
 
Just wanna let you guys know that PS3 supports G25, I've just tried playing F1 Championship on PS3 using my G25, the game has a configuration for G25. The wheel is heavy but there is no feedback from the game to the wheel, maybe GT HD will give some feedback.
