I agree with you to an extent. I think Fanatec makes great products but suffers from lack of communication with their customers. I wasnt informed with they pushed it back to "late may" and similarly I wasnt informed when they pushed it back to "june". I would be much less frustrated if I felt like I was in the loop. I hope I get the gt2 in a timely manner because I really want a wheel for my 360 and I subsequently sold my g27 so I would like a wheel in general.
Another Fanatec wheel arrives!

I mean that's the thing, sure we can get a wheel right away but it's not xbox compatible. I want a wheel that's compatible with all the systems, hence we have to wait for the GT2.
Sure I can get a wheel right now from Fanatec that will work on a ps3 and pc, but I don't want that. Yes, I can go buy a $500 thrustmaster without a shifter and no clubsport pedals, but that doesn't have 360 capability or the ability to tune it on the fly which is important to me as well.
That's why I can wait, I know the product is quality and it's exactly what I want. Good things come to those who wait =)
That sucks big time. I just checked the website, and sure as s*%t, it says June now.
C'mon fanatec, whats up?

PWGT2:
The ship will arrive on May24th in the USA. It depends on how fast the customs are to get it into the warehouse but there is a good chance that we can ship it in may.
The ship to Europe arrives on the 4th of June

One ? then Thomas. A few of my friends want to order the GT2 in a few months in anticipation for FM4. They are all on the frits knowing if they order close to release whether the GT2 will be in stock, or on another back-order for an unknown amount of time.
I guess what I am asking is this, once this "ship" arrives, will there be a constant stock to fill orders for months to come, or, is this just to fill pending orders, then back-order for several months again until another shipment is made?

I hope thats true. I have been dying to race.
Hey Thomas, Will you be posting on your blog, and keeping us informed of the shipping?

Any ideas on the availability or waiting times for shifters to UK.
Just placed my order, finally when paypal would accept.
Fanatecs site says I've ordered 3 shifters.
2 pending 1 processing. Must screw up there orders.
Odd that there's no way to cancel an order on the site. Even when payment has not been confirmed by paypal. It just goes straight into your order history without payment.

Just to add I've had shipment notification already.
Goes to show if it is in stock then the battle is over. Really fast shipment.
My CSP were exactly the same too.
GT2 was the waiting game for me lol.
Happy days.

So FYI, there is the official notice.
I still have some concerns about reliability with the Fanatecs, but they just reduced the price of the shifters by ~$30. That plus the re-intro of the GT3 Clubsport edition made it too hard for me to keep waiting so I went ahead and ordered.
Hopefully I will get lucky and my wheel will be functional and reliable.
Also, the confirmation said 2-5 days for shipping. Do they really ship from Germany that fast or are the coming from a US warehouse?
Anyway, looks like I have 'joined the club'.

The early June timing actually works out for those of us still on the fence for a GT2, who don't want to pre-pay and wait for months. E3 is June 7-9 so we will get to hear if Fanatec has any new hardware coming, and if any competitors to the GT2 announce anything for Forza4...
So not bad timing for those of us wanting to join the GT2 club who don't want to pay for something and then wait for a factory in China to make it, but I feel for those of you who ordered in December (as I almost did) and are still waiting.

All I really ask for is a working wheel. I am not upset about the delay. If I get a bad wheel, I will be extremely pissed. Like I have said before, delay them if it means a better QA/QC process with minimized failure rates. Having to navigate the support process is something I do not want to do, even if it is a good support process.
This!
I am good with waiting, well........sorta. lol. But the situation will get really bad if the wheel does not work. I have heard so many horror stories about DOA and start ups on the GT2, it kinda scares me. But im sure everything will be ok.

Reason for the delays are many imporvements on the quality of the wheels. And even if it breaks, we will have enough replacement wheels now.
