Force feedback steering wheels for PS3

[Lil' Joe]

Ive posted this in the computer games section but no luck...

Does anyone have experience of these, and are they any good? Ive had a PS3 for a while now and I'm now starting to want Gran Turismo with one of these steering wheels....

Yes, Logitech G25 is the daddy:

And is the feedback through the steering wheel realistic? Does it simulate the feeling of driving and steering well?

Quick hijack - does it work with a PS2??

Cheers

The G25 is meant to be a fantastic steering wheel, as realistic as you can get for PC and PS3 (not sure about PS2, I assume so). You can get better but the next step up is proper simulation stuff at nigh on a grand!!!

The G25 is on my post-Christmas shopping list

I have the older Logitech benchmark wheel, the Driving Force Pro.
While it lacks a clutch and a H gate shifter, it does have FF and 900º rotation lock to lock and a great sequential shift, whick I found really good with GT4 on the PS2, and Live for Speed on the PC.
Unfortunately it's not XBox 360 compatible, so it's not getting as much use as I would like, hopefully once the full version of GT5 is out I'll get a PS3 and use it with that.
It´s also a good bit cheaper than the G25 (though the G25 might be available second hand now)

G25 is the best you can get without spending serious money. The effects you get are very dependant on the game you play. PS2 and PS3 will be fairly realistic, but the versatility of PC games allows you to tweak every aspect to set it up just as you want.

I had an older DFP, but the G25 is in a marked step.
