Logitech shows off PS3 steering wheel

Guticb | February 20, 2008 | News | Playstation 2 Playstation 3 Game Developers Conference 2008 Company

Logitech has just announced it's Driving Force GT Racing Wheel. This wheel was built with Gran Turismo 5: Prologue in mind (Just like their Driving Force Pro was built with GT4 in mind).

It has all the features that the Driving Force Pro had, and more. It also works with the Playstation 2.

Expect this wheel to retail for $150 when it comes out in May.

Want the perfect prologue to sim racing's most-distinguished brand? Tack another $150 onto that $40 download, as Logitech has unveiled the official, and pricey Driving Force GT racing wheel. Engineered specifically for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (but compatible with GT4 and GT5 on PS2), the Driving Force features requisite force feedback, plus a new 24-position realtime adjustment dial (see -- it's red!), so you can fine-tune the brake bias, traction control and damper settings on-the-fly. Brake bias? Damper settings? Just point us to the boost button!

After the introduction of the G25 this really doesn't seem that attractive. =/ I wish they would step it up with a full pedal set and shifter.

Cool thing.
Although, I'm not really used to use a steering wheel in videogames at home, unless it's a whole arcade machine, then that's different.
