I agree, but I dont really think a G25 user would get their moneys worth buying a Fanatec wheel either. The G25 is still a good wheel and the G27 or any of the Fanatec wheels is barely an upgrade at all.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to the RRP, it may release for that, but it wont last long. This is one advantage the G25 and I'm hopinh the G27 will have. You can walk into a shop and buy it at the price they will give you. None of this you can only order online stuff. I bought a G25 for $350AUD from a computer shop when the RRP was still $500AUD.
Now how can you say the GT3RS Clubsport isnt an upgrade over a G25 man that aint true.
Your welcome to find me a review worth reading that concludes as much, sure both have their own benifits, but in quality and other features mentioned before that the Fanatec has not to mention the fantastic Clubsport pedals with the load cell brake and vibrating brake feature unique at this price point.
Not only that but come the Turbo S and you can play FM3 with these pedals too and its expected to include the vibrating brake feature. Some of us yes have already decided to have both the GT3RS and Turbo S and swap over the wheel. Personally i think i will prefer the GT3RS for PC stuff.
The benifits of the GT3RS CSP package ARE a BIG upgrade for a G25 user, i dont know how you claim otherwise.
As Nox stated above PC sims will likely show the wheels at their best, but do not for one moment think a PS3 user with GT5P doesnt get benifits over a G25 they still do...
True Logitech products will likely get reduced by online suppliers, no surprise their this is the advantage of Logitech and buy off the shelf. Yes Fanatec its pre order at higher prices, thats just the way it is, that has nothing to do with comparing the wheels as to which is best, its only a value for money consideration and ease of purchase. Yes indeed Fanatec will cost more and a GT3RS Clubsport package will take longer to have delivered but still offers a better more equipped wheel and pedals over the extra cost of a G27.
Previously youve been hyping this G27, ive told you before it was likely not to be much better than G25. You persisted with your hopes.
Not only that but as reviewers are pointing out the loss of sequential is a sore point for some and the "lights" are not seen as a great addition, too low for starters as SRT commented. Additionally the SRT review scores against the G25 are very similar, and i do not recall them stating that the G27 new gears although smoother and quieter including the new gearbox which is smoother and quiter also was a massive jump in performance. They in fact concluded as I told you would likely be the case that the G27 was an an evolutionary G25.
SRT did not however contest the G27 to a GT3RS and perhaps if viewers would like to see that then they should contact SRT for a future possible video showdown.
To this point Fanatecs biggest issues has been PC drivers. Once Thomas gets these completely sorted then and I assume personally the Turbo S could become the best scored wheel on SRT. Besides Xbox compatibility is also a big desired feature.
