I dunno, looking at the new Xbox (at the store the other day before the crowds) they seem pretty damn impressive, I see a wheel and pedals and hooked to a HDtv being much more fun than freaking tweaking my ever lacking PC that I paid big ass bucks for... 400 bucks just doesnt look to bad, that is with hopes of Game Tittles I guess, as it is? not so much but hell I saw womeon playing (might been Battlefield2 on it) looked very good, on a 22 inch plazma, nice.

I second (third? fourth?) the request for ANY information on where to find this in the U.S. Any word from Thrustmaster themselves yet on the issue? I'm in the market for a new wheel, but if this is as good as it appears to be, I'll hold off on buying the Logitech DFP like I intended until now.

for me the timing couldn't be better for a new wheel. I hope we can find a source. DC

lol! He said it resembles the gizmo they used in the movie Ghostbusters to TRAP the Ghosties. :) must be a big mutha. dh

> sure looks a lot like my driving force pro, even the button are laid out > almost the same... True.... But they say the site says FF is partly belt-driven which may mean a very smooth feel for those that think the DFP is notchy (not saying it is). Also, it has four paddles, two of which are "progressive." Excellent for those that need wheel mounted brake/gas or for those that need a wheel mounted clutch. I'm anxious to hear some user feedback though I wonder if it'll ever come to the US. Alan

I just realized, there isn't any indication of degrees rotation. Or am I missing something? Alan

> rotation is 240 degrees > http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=233300 I know some question the need for more, but that's a deal breaker for me. I've gotten used to having ~400 degrees of usable rotation with my DFP. Perhaps not necessary for open wheelers (300-360's good there), but definitely useful for tin tops. Alan
