I finally got my G27 in today. Although no wheelstand pro yet, I decided to connect and test it out. I absolutely love it!!!! Worked on PS3 right away no problems what-so-ever.

I do have one complaint.... The usb chord that attaches to the ps3 is waaayyy to short!!! I am forced to sit 5 feet away from my 60" tv!!! I normally sit about 10 to 12 feet away. I don't understand how they could've screwed that up. If a longer chord was made then it would accommodate everyone... you can't lengthen a short chord, but you can shorten a long chord:dunce:

Anyway not a killer, glad I returned my Log GT and shelled out the extra $100 for the G27.....Now I wait for my wheelstand pro which should be here next week!!!!!!!!!!

The Logitech G27 is well worth the money.

Where was the review?
 
It's a short cord because it's a "PC" wheel... but that's nothing a good USB extension cord won't fix! Congrats.
 
Finally arrives! When did you order mate?
 
great review. please keep us updated on the USB incident :)
 
G27 rules - I was lucky I had USB extension chords laying around.....they are cheap, just go pick one up =)
 
So an extension chord won't cause any issues? What does "chord have no H" mean?

Good to hear you got your wheel! Mine is scheduled for next Monday, but of course I am out of town all next week...

I used a standard 6 foot USB extension on my DFGT with no problems. However, if you need longer than that, I would probably recommend an "active extension" that will take you to 16ft or 32ft depending on model. Here is the link to the 16ft one I got for my Kinect. Works perfect!

If you just need 6ft, any should do. Just make sure it is male to female or M-F.

If you need 16ft, look for an active extension cable, male to female, like the $21.97 Belkin from that page.

Ya sorry about that. I accidentally posted in the console and pc gaming section instead of steering wheel and racing cockpits. Didn't do it on purpose~:sick:
 
Any of those Belkins should work fine, like dwogs said if you need to run a long way (10 feet plus I'd say) spring for the active cable.
