hi all, so after many years of service overseas my brother is coming home and he is a huge Gran Turismo 6 and racing sim fan, would like to know what you all would suggest for a good investment and gift to my brother? What wheel should I get for him for him to be able to use on his PS3 and PS4? Thank you all for your help!
 
The one at the top of the page at present I believe is the only wheel to support PS3/PS4.

Sony seem to be unofficially making thrustmaster (and this wheel particularly) the official PS4 wheel.

As it stands Logitech have given up making future wheels for console. This has had a knock on effect where Logitechs older wheels, of which many members on here have (DFGT, G25, G27) will probably be left out in the cold as regards to driver support (recognising and ability to calibrate wheel) for the PS4 making them incompatible.
Add this to apparently Sony installing some sort of security measure on the PS4 which only recognises the Thrustmaster, you can see we're all being funnelled down the same pipe.

This Thrustmaster T300RS seems expensive for what you get mind you.
A great main hub unit, with a nice wheel and nice Ferrari option. Extra money.
Bad pedals, but you can get slightly better ones with clutch. Extra money.
Comes with paddle shift but you can get a stick shift as option. Extra money.

I'm not too pissed at present because it's going to be a while before I get a PS4. But look around the site enough, use search function and look in the hardware section and you'll see people aren't happy and I don't blame them. They're also be able to explain the above more succinctly.

The advert banner at the top of page is the only option. The fact that it's there is a little indicative of that we're being shepherded like lemmings.

Eat.
Sleep.
Race.
Repeat.
