Default Any video gamers in here?

I have a question for you hardcore Gran Turismo lovers. What steering wheel setups are you guys using? Whether it be for ps3 or ps4 it doesn't really matter since I can buy an adapter to use on my ps4 from what I understand. The reason I'm even bringing this up is because "Project Cars" is about to come out mid March which seems to be a pretty decent buy that shares Gran Turismo similarities. I figured I might as well use the S2k driver seat I have in my sons room for something and mock up something fun to use for this and when GT7 hit's the market either this year or next year.

I'm aware of the Logitech G27 w/ force feedback which is cool for the price although I wanted to see if there's any other more solid brands other than Mad Catz (if they are even still around) or Logitech without exactly breaking the bank. Pictures/recommendations greatly appreciated!

Just in case you wanna check it out.. Crank up the sound!

If i were you i would wait till the game is out to see which wheels are truly supported. Logitec contract with sony only extend to the PS3 currently the PS4 is contracted only with THRUSTFORCE and their wheels. Reading the fourms, its not that you cant plug the G25,27 and driving force GT, you can but due to driver/ USB issues they dont work on the PS4. Logitech points the finger at SONY and Sony points back. It really is a big middle finger to all the GT6 fans who bought a set up for their PS3 only to have to fork over another 300$ a decent thrustforce wheel.

FYI i think is one of the reason why Driveclub for the PS4 is a failure

Very good points. I had no idea it worked out like that so thanks for the heads up on the Logitech and Playstation dispute. I seen the Thrustforce for about $399 at Frys, and there is also the M/T attachment sold separately for $135 but it does seem pretty badass compared to the out of box G27 that was out for ps3. I've had the cheaper steering wheel setups and the "you get what you pay for" has always been true when buying these sorts of things.

At least you have Forza as an option. I refuse to buy Driveclub and the only game I have with cars in it is GTA V

I hear you, Same here. I get an hour to play at most out of the day after I put the kid down for a nap when we get home at the end of the day. That's hardly enough time to go blow up an armored truck or rob a few hookers.
