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. > It looks like Best Buy is discontinuing it, and replacing it with the > non-force-feedback model. > Not sure what that's supposed to mean. Best-Buy has weird purchasing habits.

Same here. All the yellow wheels are the non FF versions. Where did you get your info Doug? > >Best Buy is not discontinuing anything...

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. Tim

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) jeff
