jeez, things just get cooler all the time. and its cheaper than the first steering wheel i ever bought. with the new F1 game out in september i might really treat myself.

quote:

Thrustmaster today introduced its Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition gaming controller cockpit for PCs and the PS3. The 11-inch steering wheel is a smaller scale replica of that found in the lightweight F430 Scuderia supercar, and includes the 5-position Manettino dial that can change the car's performance characteristics during a race. Metal gearshift paddles and a rubber textured grip of the wheel are more authentic touches. The brake pedal has magnetic resistance for a more realistic feel as well. The controller uses a 2.4GHz wireless connection with a range of 33 feet and a battery life of up to 50 hours. The wheel has 12-bit precision and features 4096 values on its axis. All of the setup is foldable for easier storage and allows removing the steering wheel. It can be adjusted to suit adults or kids, and should be stable with both a lock and a 23-pound weight. The cockpit ships in June for $250.

Does it have feedback and all that good stuff? Seems pretty badass.

Hmmmm, I dunno. im not really a fan of feedback (except in the arcade) coz it never feels quite right.

Anyone get one of these yet? PKC? I'm looking at the G27 or preferably the G25 if I can find one...for the new F1

These things are $500 in Australia I cant justify that for one game, especially when I already have a wheel hehe.

edit: 224.00 USD = 235.064 AUD plus postage.

oh wow...gee, i'll have to think about this. but fuck that's tempting.
