What steering wheel contorller to use with Gran Turismo 3?

[norkusa]

Finally picked up GT3 and am really getting into it. I imagine that it'd be allot easier to play with a steering wheel controller though instead of the dual shock. Can anyone recommend a good one to get? I'd really like to get one with force feedback too. I remember when GT3 was first released, there was a steering controller that was specifically designed for it (i think). Anyone know what I'm talking about? Anyone have one for sale/trade?

The wheel you're talking about was from Logitech - I believe it has the GT logo somewhere on the box. You can find them on ebay/in stores for like 50 bucks these days. If I were you, though, I'd wait for the wheel that they're releasing when GT4 comes out - it's going to have 900 degrees of rotation like a real steering wheel and will be ridiculously awesome.

Does that Logitech wheel have it's own power supply for Force Feedback?

[zemmix]

The Logitech wheel uses the USB port doesn't it? Anyone know if there is an adapter out there for it for use on an Xbox?

I too am going to wait to get the new wheel that is coming with GT4. They have some pictures of it in the latest Game Informer. It looks sweet. 900 degrees rotation and an actual gear shifter (me no likes paddle shifters).

holy crap and I was about to get one from my EB store (about $140). EB is such a rip off these days. >:(

Thanks for the help guys. As cool as that Logitech wheel sounds, I think I'm going to wait for the GT4 wheel to come out. Anyone know a date or price?

[zemmix]

Whenever GT4 comes out this Fall. And my guess is $100.
