Thrustmaster T500RS Unboxing & First Look

I've been keeping an eye on this wheel for a little while now. Can't wait for your review coming in a month or so.

 

Well hello jessica lopez..

Pedals look good, don't have GT5 or anything to play it on so will not be buying that but I do look forward to the review.

 

I was in the market for a new wheel setup this past holiday season and was doing some research on PS3 compatible wheels in general.

Ended up purchasing the Fanatec GT3 RS v2 wheel w/ clubsport pedals and a wheel stand.

I find that the clubsport pedals are absolutely fantastic... far and above the G25 I was used to using.

For now, its difficult for me to evaluate the GT3 RS wheel effectively, as I have not yet received my wheel stand, so I do not have a solid mount for the wheel. This makes it difficult to use efficiently, as the wheel is strong enough to move my current potting stand while I'm trying to make a turn.

Although it will be interesting to see their opinion of the new T500... after experiencing the GT3 RS w/ clubsport pedals... I'm having a feeling it will be difficult to justify the added expense.

(I'm hoping I made the correct choice)

 

I think the price is going to kill it. $600 is just insanely steep. You could get a Fanatec GT2 with Clubsports for $100 less and it'll work with XBOX.
