Best Buy is not discontinuing anything... The red steering wheel Force
Feedback version is being replaced with a yellow steering wheel force
feedback version.  There were lots of complaints about the pedals on the
LWFF wheel, so Logitech indiscreetly came out with a new wheel and pedal
combo that apparently has better pedals (thus the yellow steering wheel).
Unfortunately, Logitech most likely chose this approach hoping that current
owners of the red steering wheel version (including myself), would not call
Logitech and complain that I now have an inferior product and that Logitech
is willing to let me replace my pedals for the newer version.

Same here.
All the yellow wheels are the non FF versions.
Where did you get your info Doug?

Are you sure?
I thought the yellow wheel was just a new skin on the non-FF model
(used to be black). In fact, the yellow ones at my local Best Buy are
all non-FF wheels, and they all have the old pedals.

But they are issuing new pedals for their FF wheels though, right? Some
people in the r.a.s. group seem to think so. It would also explain why just
about everyone is sold out of it. (if they were bringing in a new improved
version)
