I mean last time I heard it meantioned on the forums it was the ISR review. Did any one forkover the 600 bucks to get it? I mean if no ones mentioned it on the world's largest GT site, I think its curtains for Thrustmaster.

I mean compared to the DFGT, which is $100 atm, it is a complete ripoff.
T500 RS has over DFGT-
Better materials
Clutch
Strong Brake
Better Shift Paddles
2 "Modes"

DFGT has over T500 RS-
Sequential Stick Shift (Not H-Pattern, but gets the job done)
Horn Button(Most call it pointless, but when free driving round Daytona, and someone cuts me off, its my driver's reaction to slam on the horn. When the horn sounds, it make the experience so much realer)
Realtime Adjustment Dial(Having this baby set to TCS/ABS during races/chalenges/licence tests and fiddling with it coming in and out of corners has shaved SECONDS off my lap times, a DFGT exclusive advantage)
Being 6X cheaper
PC Drivers

So, did anyone get it? Did Thrustmaster make a terrible buisness mistake? Is the DFGT just too good a deal to compete?

it's not available anywhere. Besides, no H-shifter, no support for any other game besides GT5, no PC drivers...

it's a pretty crappy wheel at the moment.
 
This wheel is like GT5, it was forced out before it was polished and fully developed. Oh, the irony.
 
before this gets moved to hardware I'd like to say I think the GT2 is a much better wheel for the price. I heard nothing but great things about the Clubsports and it comes with an H-shifter. It's compatible with PC, Xbox, PS3 and Fanatec is a pretty solid company.

A +1 for the alcantara. It feels amazing
 
i've gotten mine last week from Fry's in Vegas. Best purchase I've made in a while! Waiting on a Gamepod GT2 to arrive and then it's goodbye social life!

haha not really. been saving up for a good setup for a while now, will have pics up soon as the game pod arrives!
 
I bought it this afternoon, I drive auto so I dont care about the H shifter. It's a pretty good wheel. Better than the G27 I used.
 
Wrong forum, and we already have a thread in the right one.
