I've been waiting since last fall for this to become available
in the US. The last response I got from thrustmaster is that
it should be back in stock and in retail stores in February.
I'm not holding my breath since they originally told me it
would  be available before christmas. It sounds like it did
make it for Christmas in Canada. My local EB World (Ohio)
says it is in their systems but doesn't show a release date.

Is that the one for the PC or the PS?  I have only seen the PS version at
EB.  For $159 CDN I'll buy a spare...

Pretty sure it was for the PC.  It was next to the other PC wheels
(Logitech FF, MS non-F)  on the floor.  On the upper shelves they had
the PC racing games.  They had other wheels for N64, PS, etc but they
were in the console section.
