Logitech Driving Force wireless wheel half-price at Best Buy

by Xav de Matos { Jun 29th 2009 at 11:00PM }

Logitech's PS3 and PS2 compatible wireless racing wheel is currently on sale at Best Buy for $49.99, half the peripheral's regular price. While the Driving Force Wireless isn't the best wheel in the manufacturer's catalog, it features compatibility with a plethora of racing titles and Force Feedback. Logitech's higher-end models feature 900 degrees of rotation, better build quality and enhanced Force Feedback, but demand beefier price tags. If you're looking to add an inexpensive wheel to your regular gear-head gaming sessions, this could be the wheel for you.

[Thanks, Ashish]

Expected, as project Natal isn't too far away...

Wiizer @ Jun 29th 2009 11:28PM

Because Natal is going to make everything tangible OBSOLETE.

Give me a break.

NATAL will NEVER compare to a semi-real wheel.

The only reason i LOVE driving games like Gran turismo and Forza is because of the great force feedback wheel's, they will never be replaced by holding your hands up in the air, getting no feedback and pretending to turn something that isn't there.

haha! oh man, best comment all day!

I agree with everyone above me... Natal isn't going to replace anything..

@ DeathroW

I'm going to be buying Gran Turismo 5 and I was wondering what kind of wheel I should buy for it. Have any suggestions?

@Brandon:

If you're rich: Logitech G25

nakedatthecomp @ Jun 30th 2009 11:41AM

damn, that G25 is SWEET! i've never seen it before... might be worth picking up when GT5 comes out!

How do you like it?

Have you played it with GT5:P?

Khaled @ Jun 30th 2009 12:33AM

I saw this for $30 at Gamestop. Should have bought it, but I'm waiting for GT5.

ryanpaulmcgowan @ Jun 30th 2009 3:56AM

I bought a wheel when I rented GT5:P. Haven't really used it much sense as I'm waiting for GT5 as well. I might pick up Burnout though.

How do you like it?

Have you played GT5:P with it?

BORINGGG.. Dell that the Driving Force GT wheel for $80 off and the G25 for $140 off not even a month ago. Imagine price matching that at best buy. Those deals are better to look at than thissssss.

KC @ Jul 1st 2009 11:29AM

Not a bad deal, I got mine for $40 with a BB rewards certificate ($10 off). Unfortunately, I also bought Motorstorm2, and it doesn't work with that game (although, I think the controls with the gamepad are probably better for that game).

I tried it with the demo GT, and demo DiRT, and it worked fine. This is my very first wheel, the force is pretty weak, but having a wheel improved my driving a bit, so it was worth it for $40. I'm too casual a gamer to go get the more expensive ones, so this one will do. I guess I'll we waiting for GT5. Maybe I'll to grab GRiD used to hold me over.

I got the Driving Force GT to use with GT4 off of eBay for $65, one of the best purchases I've ever made. That thing's a beast. The force feedback is great, the only thing I miss is not having a true 7 point gearbox, but that's pretty much unnecessary anyway. That works in GT5, right?

As a lover of driving games I love to bring the play station. Play station seems good. I enjoys playing driving games. I had lot of collection of play stations. Driving games are the best.
