True. But I really can't afford the G25 right now. Heck, I skipped on lunch for a few days just to get a Momo.

It's not like the Momo's as bad as a CD-R King wheels.

Speaking of Logitech speakers, I made the mistake of buying Altec Lansing VS2421's over Logitech X-230s. Well online feedback says that the Altec has a better balanced sound, but I'd have taken the slightly bass-heavy Logitech if I knew that this Altec Lansing has terrible interference. Shielding matters to me cuz I use my phone a lot while in front of the PC.

The Altecs are nice for balanced use such as music and gaming. Me, I chose the Z-2300 with its thundering bass purely for gaming. I listen to music via headphones.

Speaking of wheels.... I wonder what that Japanese kid was using:

Pacific Fighters. Engine overheat..... A friendly way of saying the engine is on fire and the plane is on a death dive.

A driving wheel with paddle shifters has me intrigued. I forgot there are other brands besides Logitech.

Thrustmaster has one with paddle shifters for $45. Plus, it works with both pc and PS3. I may have to buy one:

THRUSTMASTER 2960697 Ferrari GT Experience Racing Wheel

Plus, I'm tempted towards a triple monitor setup.

I've searched around the net, Fanatec 911 Wheel is better than the G25/G27 plus it's compatible to all platforms (PC,PS3, XBOX360).

Downside is it's very expensive and production is limited.

Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel - Clubsport edition-US
[PWTS2-C USA] $499.95
Only 2000 units of this edition of this high-end wheel for Xbox360 will be produced (all 3 editions: 10.000 units which is about 0,05% of all Xbox360 users).

Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel US
[PWTS2USA] $349.95

Grabe bagay na bagay yan sa Gran Turismo sa PS3 at Forza Motorsport 3 First Print Limited Edition sa Xbox 360!!

Yikes. I think I'll stick with the $45 Thrustmaster. The impact between a $500 driving wheel vs a $45 one isn't as great as a $45 wheel vs a gamepad.

I'm sure there's more finesse with the $500 wheel. But, uh. It's a tough sell for me. I mean I wouldn't mind that Porsche wheel if I got one for Christmas.

But, that Thrustmaster wheel costs less than many games.

limited at 10,000 units, I doubt one can obtain the Fanatec wheel easily anyway.

logitech g27 has an adjustable pedal which is a plus.

here is an image with the nuts unattached.

I like that. You could adjust it to more match real world clutch-brake-gas pedal layouts.

The price is still a bit stiff for my tastes though. It used to be the price for high end accessories was around $100. I'm still stuck in that mindset. I noticed the prices started to skyrocket after the next-gen consoles came out.
