    Does anyone have this? How well does it react, I was thinking of buying it but I wanted to know if it was worth it.

    My friend had one. He's since sold it. It's not really worth it in my opinion. Unless, however, you had a nice set-up with a racing chair and had the wheel/pedals mounted well. I guess I just got partial to the controller for GT3 and GT4.

    It is totally worth it if you play GT4 a lot. I think I got mine for 75 dollars new somewhere, Justin linked me the site I don't remember where exactly it was.

    If you are really into GT4 then it is definately worth it. It has really strong force feed back and can actually turn more than 180 degrees (unlike most other wheels). You must have a good set up for the wheel and pedals tho.

    I dont have it. I bought one of those cheap ass ones back in the GT3 days but it since broke. I just controller it for GT4 cause i dont have any way to set up the wheel. Somewhere i have a picture of a kid who has an actual car seat and wood frame with the wheel mounted to it. It was pretty neat.

    They are great! The only thing I think needs to be added to the wheel is Force Feedback in the Brake Pedal... I built a little stand out of plywood and 2x4s to fit my chair (height) in front of the TV. It will also work with a PC, too. I just got GTR2 for my B-Day... Mmmmm

    I've got a Logitech Driving Force (non-Pro) and it came with a cool attachment that lets you pinch it between your thighs to hold it in place... it's a pretty good simulation of driving when you have to piss bad.

    It's not a bad little wheel, but the force mechanism in Microsoft's force feedback wheel (for the PC) is 5X better than Logitech's cable-drive systems.

    For you sim-racers who have grown weary of Gran Turismo, pick up Enthusia. It lacks the adrenaline rush of something like Flatout or Burnout, but it actually feels like you're DRIVING (and it supports force feedback wheels), and it's got the whole spectrum of street cars, from puny 3-cylinder cars that you have to downshift when going uphill, to the Skyline R34. And everything in between including <i>minivans</i> (don't laugh, I smoked an Audi with a hybrid minivan on a dirt course! (in the game, that is)) and GC-era WRX and 22B (rendered without the widebody).

    FYI, the Driving Force Pro is gear driven....and if you have a PC, nothing will beat GTR2 for simulation quality. They even have 10+ 'lessons' on acceleration alone, not to mention the braking lessons, cornering lessons, etc. I have not spent a lot of time with it yet, but it is leaps and bounds above GT4 for physics, AI, and FFB (Force Feedback).
