1 - I f`ing HATE technology. GD it.
But I guess the G25 is old now... 3 years sheesh. My only complaint is the direction of the cord on the pedals.. it should be like the DFPRO iirc and tuck under just incase you flush it close to a wall.

The g25 is a great wheel, only complaint on it is the piss poor shifter.

I prefer the fanatec wheels though the force feedback is so sweeter.

1.2 - since when did you get a fantec?
Considering you still cant buy one until October, since they are backlogged with orders.. and no 360 titles support the wheel except forza3?

Or are you buying another fantec for forza, or hoping they will convert it if you ship it to germany?

I have both, the FFB on the g25 is miles above the fantec, and theh build quality is loose compared to the heavy g25. The FFB is debatable its really to taste, but the G25 is more responsive than the fantec. Try GTR2/LiveForSpeed/Gtlegends out.

I mean the Fantec has a battery powered pedal base ffs.

I've said it before and I will say it again ~

Hhmm lets see, use a no name company (Fanatec) who is relatively quite new to the scene or a LARGE World Wide renowned company (Logitech) who has been around longer, has vast knowledge and MUCH MORE experience in gaming & with peripherals? Yeah, I'll stick with my G25 http://img388.imageshack.us...

And now it looks I will be upgrading to the G27 real soon...

1.6 - I'll definitely get this...
Maybe, if I save up enough money. >_<

I hope the steering wheel is slightly bigger though, longer in diameter.

4.1 - no? Its still a USB wheel. That GT5p/PC sims support.
You have to buy that fantec if you want to use 6spd/clutch in Forza3, which you cant use on any other device besides the 360. So if you already own a fantec, like me. You have to buy another or hope you can convert it to the 360. For $300. Most sim folk like myself use the same g25 for PC sims & PS3 sims.

The g25 didn't have any PS3 specific functions, thats what logitech gran turismo wheel is for.

You cant use:

DFpro
momo
g25
g27
mercedes
custom/wheel setups

with the 360. You couldn't use the g27 anyway.

4.3 - eh? lol
You've obviously having used a G25! It has practically the exact same features as the Fanatec one except that it doesn't need two gear sticks to switch from the 6 speed to sequential. It just has a dial to switch to either on the fly.

5 - Well, I'm loving my G25 at the moment
The only way I'd want to purchase this wheel is if the pedals come with force feedback and rumble. Also, if the gear shift was more study and realistic and the wheel going lifesize. Now THAT would be the ultimate wheel!

hopefully they make a special GT5 version for it. there are alot of hardcore GT players out there that want this to happen. the GT wheel they recently released does not compare to the G25.

Yeah but that's meant for those who want a cheap alternative. I've been eying the Logitech Driving Force GT because I don't have the cash to blow. Hopefully this will drive the price for G25 down.

who knows how much this will cost. but i don't care. i'll be getting it when my tax return rolls in. i can't justify buying it until i get a nice bonus check like tax returns. i love it.

In the future, just leave them alone and report them as necessary. Thanks.

Can't afford to spend on another steering wheel when Forza3 comes-out which is a bummer ( slightly pessimistic nothing's gonna happen with that on-going petition... ) but at least my G25 would still be compatible for GranTurismo 5.
