Now $350/£180 might be a lot for a racing wheel, but this is damn swanky (http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/30/fanatec-intros-wireless-porsche-911-turbo-racing-wheel/).

Think I'll wait for a review to see how it actually performs on the PS3.

Unfortunately, you're paying for the name "Porsche".

But 3 FF motors, versus the Logitech G25's 2, and a key shaped flash drive?? I now want this wheel, instead of the G25.

But I think $350 is way too much - Even with the Porsche license.

Don't know what the selling point is for three force feedback motors, unless two of them are just rumble to enhance things like bumps. Every PC force feedback wheel I've ever taken apart only had one motor and no need for others, I'd be curious what this looks like inside (I don't own a Logitech G25). I can't imagine it doing anything to add to the experience, especially without games specially programmed to take advantage of it. Of course I might be remembering wrong too, I went the non ff route on the PC years ago since all the high end wheels don't incorporate ff. Haven't had a ff wheel in half a decade.

Aww, the shifter doesn't have one of those leather bags around the bottom.
