Maybe I was just excited about the calibration feature. I thought that was very cool and didn't realize it had internal memory. Still, while it may not be brand new info to us here, it still seemed like an informative enough review for someone who doesn't frequent GTP.

I do agree, the lack of original photography was really a shame. Isolated PR photography is of limited utility. Action shots, or shots of the internals (without the gates installed) would have been much better.

I hope SimHQ gets one soon. I tend to like their hardware reviews.

Yeah, okay maybe I was a bit harsh. But to me it looks nothing more then you could find of any product anywhere. It does not jump out is all what I wanted to say.
I think I better prepare for a review when I get it here. Give my point of view. ;)
 
I should stop visiting this forum so regularly as I am getting a lot of facepalm moments here some days.

Yes, red. Previous page. -_-'

Now I better head to bed before I get cranky. Lol
Night folks

If you find out let me know. Checked online and at Fry's, where I bought the T500, and they didn't stock it. They didn't know if they were going to be coming in either.
 
Google has a search option to only search for websites from your country. Maybe you can pinpoint the search for suppliers easier that way. ;)
It's in the left bar with the options. If it doesn't show just click more search options at the bottom of the text in the left column.

i don't trust ebay, unless it is sold by ebay themselves but there are alot of counterfeit out there even in amazon's third party seller but not amazon themselves. so i don't trust anybody except if they are BBB rated or big companies.

Have you received the e-mail with the shipping confirmation?.

As other users, I cancelled my order for the "PS3 version" to order the "PC" one (signed as "in stock"), but still have not received the e-mail with the confirmation (the order say they sent my unit between november, 5th and 7th).
 
Just checked my order and payment has been taken and order is ready for despatch .👍

Just in time too , I was frequenting the frex website alot recently.

yes I already got my tracking nr and it is in the hands of dhl :)
 
Mine's on it's way too.

My evil wife just had a package delivered that was just about the right size, which I ran to the door like an 8 year old at xmas for. Only to find out it wasn't for me. Damn her ;)

I work from home and I'm just gonna have to sit looking at the box whilst working all afternoon. (should it arrive - it's on the local van for delivery, apparently) :(
 
Got a couple of pics of my shifter bracket mod.
This has only been primed and is designed for the GamePod GT2 frame.

Hm, still seems like not very many have gotten their shipment and is disappointing GT5 is not supporting over wheels using this shifter. I guess PD couldn't be bothered to spend a little time on that.

GT5 doesn't support the sequential mode either. May come in future updates though. PD seem to have them fairly regularly. Have you got one/ordered one yet??
 
Ive not properly been playing GT5 in sometime.

Regards SEQ shifting.
If it is possible to still use a secondary controller (like it used to be).
Then a standard "arcade type" joystick worked fine for me in the past as a SEQ shifter.
Do though if getting one ensure it has the "PS" button to allow you to enter the controller/system menu.
 
I am spending my Shifter Money on MW3 Elite and MW3 the Game.


Eat your heart out TM. :)


Really gonna let the shifter be my Christmas present. Simple and easy gift.
 
IT'S HERE!!!

and do not fear for shift stiffness, this is the default out of the box:



That's all you're getting for the moment, damned conference calls.

I'm so excited, I can't believe it's actually gonna come tomorrow! I've had my new rig for a month and my replacement gear knob for a week or two in anticipation.

I cancelled the Ps3 version and ordered the pc one even b4 Logi replied. Thanks guys. Mine is due today or tomorrow already had confirmation email. Excited!!! :drool: lol Now to gather up the materials for the new rig which I'll start next week. Looking at some nice gear knobs and pedals.........will post pics
 
Momo Competizione fitted (and pushed right down on the shifter to shorten the shift) :)

CONGRATS PAP!!! The shifter looks awesome, I'm droolin' over it!!:drool:
at same time i curse amazon/thrustmaster for delay in NorthAmerica ><

Anyone in NorthAmerica have it in possess yet?

Congrats again on receiving long anticipated item! 👍👍
 
Looks AWESOME 👍 with the MOMO knob on it. How much shorter is it with that compared to the Thrustmaster one?? How do you find the resistance on it??
