As a G29 and Thrustmaster TX owner (basically the Xbone equivalent of the T300), I would definitely recommend the Thrustmaster. G29 is great but the Thrustmaster is superior

Regarding reliability, I've had my Thrustmaster wheel for 2.5 years without any issues.
 
I switched from a G29 to a T300RS GT, and the upgrade is easily worth it. At the end of the day you have a warranty, so just buy from a place with a good return policy.

Regarding the differences between the two, reasons why I prefer the T300RS GT.

1. It is a much smoother wheel. You feel less grinding or gear friction, which in turn makes it feel closer to a real wheel.

2. The force feedback is stronger.

3. The force feedback is more accurate. When you're on the edge of grip with the G29, often the way the gears function, the feedback drowns out a touch of the finer detail and nuance, whereas the T300RS is better at informing you when you've pushed too hard. The way the belts tug to one side, replicates a tire slipping or losing traction more accurately than the knocking about or gear grinning inside the G29.

4. The wheel is quieter with the FFB, though the fans can be a nuisance.

5. I prefer using the T300RS rim, as it feels larger and your hands have more room to manoeuvre due to less thick handles. The G29 however has premium leather whereas the T300RS uses simple rubber grips.

6. The paddle shifts have a nicer more chunky feedback.

7. The T300RS GT brake pedal is nicer to use with the conical mod it comes with. It's still stiff, but not too stiff like the G29 brake can sometimes be. The modulation seems just a touch more accurate, and the pedals themselves are wider too.

There are things I prefer with the G29, like the button mapping on the rim, the look and materials of the pedals, the reliability and the leather on the grips etc, but overall the T300RS GT is well worth the upgrade and just a more realistic, satisfying wheel to use.
I went from G27 to T300. I feel the same. T300 is the better driver experience. Had no problems with my T300 so far.
 
For now im thinking about getting Seat for the wheel, i got space in my room but not a big space, im thinking of getting Playset GT Version, but im worried if it take very big space and not easy to transport it to another rooms. If PlaySet Challenge is very good and comfortable for driving ill go for it. need your advice
 
Honestly for half the price of a playseat you could build a bench and mount a sports car seat from a salvage yard to it.

Don’t think he wants to DIY. Playseat challenge doesn’t look like much, but it’s absolutely great! Especially if you don’t have much room.
 
OP if money are no issue then you should go FANATEC.There is not big difference betwenn FANATEC and TM in terms of money but FANATEC is the best wheel atm for PS4.
Playseat challenge is a good option for you.
