InsideSimRacing- First Look and Un-boxing of the T500RS

"Our first look and un-boxing of the Official Gran Turismo 5 racing wheel by Thrustmaster, the T500RS. We un-box it, install the brake mod that comes with it and install it in our Gamepod GT2 racing rig. We test it with Gran Turismo 5, F1 2010 and Dirt 2 on the PS3. Check it out to see our first impressions. More videos and a full review on the T500RS coming soon."-Shaun Cole

This wheel looks beast.

It is going to need a lot of drivers for other PS3 games and PC support. It also is in desperate need of a shifter but ISR saying it's the best force feedback they have felt for a console wheel equals instant sale for me.

[MariaHelFutura]

It`s too much $$$ compared to the Drive Force. IMO. and for that price it`s ridiculous it doesn`t come w/ the shifter.

[sashimi]

Well of course the price is going to be a big difference from the Drive Force since that one is a budget wheel while this one is a high end model ~_~.But for those who have the G25/G27 they might be looking for an upgrade and this is for those people. I am fine w/ the Driving Force GT though.

OOHHHHH....................... ............................... ............................... .....................

Damn, I... I...... I.....'ll f*cking wait for a year or so and have to settle with the GT DFW. I'll get this prepared for GT6.

Have these guys reviewed GT5 yet? I'd like to know their thoughts on it. I know they've previewed it, but I'm looking for the review, so pls don't post that again.

[Errod88]

here you go mate.

[Ame_No_Shiryuu]

If i'm not wrong, the "BEAST" capability of this BEAST is feedback!!, which you won't get from any other wheel..IMO

[likedamaster]

Jessica's quite the looker. Oh yeah, the wheel's hot too.

So the clutch pedal is useless until the shifter comes in? And when is that? "Review a month from now"... ok.

Great looking wheel., very high-end indeed.

I would also like to see them feature entry level Fanatec wheel for GT5.. is it already out?

[level 360]

Like to add that I think most gamers' would rather use *paddle shift more than stick shift ( even though it comes separately with this Thrustmaster )..

..and that it's not manly enough to use paddle shift ( real race car drivers/pilots use them )..

..believe those who says it's gay to use paddle shift are they themselves gay but don't want to admit it ( not that there's nothing wrong with being one ).
