Can I get the Act Labs RS steering wheel somewhere other than their online
store?

Thanks,

Nope. But I would strongly consider buying the Logitech Force Wheel over the
RS anyway. I've tried them both and felt the logi was a better wheel. And
you can buy the Logi locally at EB, Best Buy, etc.

actually, you can get Act Labs products in other places than their online
store; one place is TigerDirect.  http://www.tigerdirect.com

Not to disparage Jeff's opinion, but all the comparison reviews I've seen
have the RS wheel coming out ahead of the Logitech.  But then again, all the
reviews I've seen were linked to from the Act Labs website, so there may be
some reviews out there that say the Act Labs isn't so great.  Did anyone run
across any?

The RS is a great wheel. My best friend has one, but I've used his, and now
my Logi, and I like the Logi a bit better (probably just buyer's loyalty :)

ActLabs RS Force Feedback wheel is the best wheel out there.  Nothing comes
close to it.  I have tested every wheel to date.  The only flaw that it has, is
that it has no shifter.  But that will be corrected soon with the RS Shifter.
Judge for yourself.  They have a 30 day return policy.
