Unfortunately it will not work with console games right now it seems, that wheel in their sim con unit would be a very nice setup to have

- RRoD? no thanks.
Frex is not for 90% of earth's popluation. A proper Frex steering/shifter/pedal(with hydro+vibrake) combo (excluding the sim motion) will cost about 4k USD. Most people will have difficulty to simply pay for the shipping, lol.

Simple. A G25 = citroen CV2 and this FREX wheel = an expensive sportscar.

even %100 of earth population can afford it only %0.1 would buy it. I think its matter of taste.

In all honesty, for 4k, you could go buy a real car and do some track days..
Even if I was rich, I wouldn't buy one. It's just an expensive toy to play games with. I'm content with the G25.
Like the video says, it does what the G25 does but only smoother, with less noise and with stronger FFB. I always use as less FFB as possible, so I don't need all that FFB power.
This is a perfect tool if you have a virtual auto training school and train future race car drivers or you are a professional gamer (race simmer) and get payed for it (don't even know if this exists).
It's an impressive piece of hardware, nice professional design, it looks good. But is it really necessary to pay all that money, just to play games? I did last year (multi monitor setup) and found out that it was an expensive mistake.
And big disadvantage; it's only compatible with a pc.
In 2004, I bought a professional pedal set from BRD, the speed7. Just a few days before, I won a video camera in a HI FI store (local contest), sold this camera and bought the speed7 with that money. After 2 years, I sold the speed7, in 2006, to an Austrain company which has a real Audi TT DTM and uses this car as a cockpit for race games (this car was at the 'ring in 2006). I even made a profit with selling the speed7 to this company. And the Belgian distributors from BRD (sim-saga) became my best friends. I gained a lot by speding a lot of money on a piece of hardware which is just for gaming.
Long story just to say that the G25 does exactly the same thing and as good as the speed7 for a lot of less money and it is multi compatible.
I personal don't need an expensive toy to broaden my gaming.
Just my personal opinion.
