I also recommend you get a gaming chair set up for it to make use a lot easier. Ive had this for over a year now, and its still running flawlessly, now it seems that game designers make the game a lot harder when you use a wheel, but i use this wheel on my gaming computer and my ps3, and after racing mustangs legally on a track for a couple years I have to say this is the best improvement on gaming wheels ive found yet. I don't recommend this if you aren't serious or going to get a good amount of use out of it because of its price. This isn't a cheap investment but I have found it more than use full time and time again. The clutch pedal and slotted shifter make this product a stand out to anything else on the market.
From the moment I opened the box I knew this product was for serious racers. Been sim racing for about 6 years now using an old ps2 Logitech wheel. The sheer weight of the pedals and wheel told me that. THAT was a TOY. THIS is different. There really isn't anything the company left out as far as quality goes. Once you start this bad boy up you won't want to shut it off.
We received the Logitech G25 Racing Wheel on time and in great condition. We have no complaints and would order from them again.
Very happy with this set up. the shifter is a bit flimsy feeling but there are ways to change it if you search on line.
Formula 1 2007 for PS3, even with its limited steering lock and 720p resolution, is a ton of fun with this wheel and the main reason I bought the G25. This means that like DIRT 2 will drive more like an off-road game and less like a Formula 1 game. Only one game I've tried so far (Need for Speed: Shift) actually makes use of the clutch pedal.
The G25 has 900 degrees of steering lock, which is supported by only a handfull of PS3 games including: Codemaster's "GRID" for PS3 and Gran Turismo HD (obsolete), Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (not mentioned in the manual, so I don't know if it really works), Midnight Club Los Angeles (haven't played it), Need for Speed: Undercover and Need for Speed: Shift. Perhaps Gran Turismo 5, if it's ever released, will make full use of this wheel. This is a very nice wheel and way better than the XBox 360 wheel (the G25 wheel shaft does not wobble), but unless you play PC games, SAVE YOUR MONEY because XBox 360 will not support the G25 and most PS3 game developers are ignoring the G25.
There are many PS2 games that support the G25's 900-degree and force feedback functions (according to the Logitech website), but I haven't tried any of them. Many of the Electronic Arts games for PS3 also support the 6-speed shifter, and force feedback, but I don't think that any of these games are rendered at a resolution higher than 720p while their counterparts on the XBox 360 are sporting 1080i and 1080p (apparently Sony has yet to grow a spine). The force-feedback is VERY strong, but there's no rumble effect and the 6-speed shifter is junk because it does not sense the position of the shifter knob (there is only a button at the far end of each of the 6 shifter positions) so you can put it into gear, but if you don't hit the button at the back of the slot, the game doesn't know that you shifted.
The multi-platform (PC, PS3, XBOX 360) Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel is now in limited production and can force many games currently with limited steering lock into 540 or 900 degrees of steering lock. If you're like me, and already bought a G25 and/or the XBox 360 wheels, don't dispair, you can always use them as spares when your buddies come over.
