TM GP1's Free At Comp USA

Not sure how many saw this in Sunday's paper. But GP1's selling for $45 with a $45 mail in rebate. Now if you get the rebate without going to court is another matter. Tax and 32 cent stamp is all you pay. Now to Don Wilshe this has to throw a monkey in the TM vs TSW price figuring. :) They still had twenty left at the Akron, OH Local. I picked up a backup unit today. It's sorta screwy why they are giving these things away they are far from worthless. QBM

>I picked up a backup unit today. I was thinking about getting one to backup my T2, also. Question: Does anyone know if you can use the T2 pedals with the GP1 wheel? (Follow up question for you smart a$$es out there: So, then, will the T2 pedals work with the GP1 wheel?) - Mike. PS - As with ALL CompUSA rebate offers, make a copy of the rebate form, and make sure the phone number to call is legible. Write down the date that you mailed it in. When you do not (trust me, you won't) receive the rebate in the allotted time (usually 6 to 8 weeks), CALL THE NUMBER! They will invariably tell you that there was some kind of delay, but your check did get mailed out "yesterday" or "earlier this week". It happens every time. I often wonder how many people forget about it and never get the check... ============================================ Mike Holthouse - Indianapolis, IN Drop the "X" to e-mail me. ============================================

<snip> <snip> Shouldn't be a problem but don't hold me to that if you go and buy a GP1 and it doesn't work on your system.. Just ensure you don't move the Paddles during the calibration steps. - Gary * * * If replying to this message, replace the no_spam with garys

It could be competition driven, look at all the units in this price and quality range that have come on the market in the past few months, it may be an attempt to force others out possibly? Trev

Or, possibly the "GP2" wheel is coming out soon (or even a force feedback wheel?) and they are trying to liquidate their stock and at the same time, get some new customers (who eventually will want to upgrade.....) - Mike. ============================================ Mike Holthouse - Indianapolis, IN Drop the "X" to e-mail me. ============================================

yes they do work but i now prefer to use the paddles. it's much more comfortable and you can basically be laying down and still be able to race. hehe. I'm always laying down while i race on NROS. I'm sure my fellow racers can attest to that lol go to get it bud, it's agreat wheel without the rebate.
