Yeah but we are from different countries...
Also, as I said, it´s a shame that the GT2 set costs 500€ in the EU and 370€ in the US... Do we **** money or why is this so?
If Thomas can make that price for the EU (at least for us) too, than I can think about it to get that GT2 wheel... 350€ sounds ok...

Looks like it is a quality product.
I am planning to by a cockpit setup from either Obutto or Playseat in the next few months.
I love that the pedals can be put in the hung position without the modification necessary for the Logitech series.
I was going to mount my G25, but if this GT wheel comes with a H-shifter I might just plunk down the money for it. Of course, no shifter = no sale.

Combined with this 5000 euro coffee table, you're all set! (unless you can make it cheaper yourself, i bet thats the ultimate solution)

Back in the day TM made fantastic products...all high end high quality stuff. I still have a couple of their early sticks, as well as the FLCS, TQS, and RCS.
They then got bought out by Guillemot and start producing CRAP.
After some time, they started to come back to the high end market and release the COUGAR HOTAS unit. I actually owned one of the first runs and had a numbered set. (Stick and throttle).
It worked OK. Sure, the stick and everything was metal (buttons too) but the internals were not really all that hot and to get it really dialed in required another $300-500 dollars to replace the gimbal, pots, with 3rd party quality parts.
I'd wait for some hands on reviews before just jumping at this.

Just returned my G27 to best buy. My girlfriend ordered it for me and it came today. Ended up going there today and returned it and picked up a DFGT instead. Figured this would hold me over under some hands on reviews of the T500 come out, then I can decide on which high end wheel to buy. And the girlfriend is excited because the DFGT will be hers to use.
What a second guys, doesn't the g27 sell for 450 in Japan while it sells 300 dollars in US. What I am saying is that the new 500 rs will not be 500 dollar US.
It will be a price close to the g27 wheel but just without the shifter. ( IN US)
It might cost 400 dollars US with the shifter included

- RRoD? no thanks.
Unless the brake uses load cell, otherwise it is weak especially if they don't come with H-Shift and probably not a multi platform wheel. I own all the GT wheels since GT3, but probably not this one.
Looks like Fanatec had a better package for the same price.

Well Logitech done it this time. Shooting themselves in the foot, becuse of their support for PC sim racing wheels. If you are to blame anyone for the G25/G27 not being fully supported in GT5. Blame Logitech! KY wanted a new wheel for GT5 and from what Swerv-Griffin from the TRPA told us after SEMA. I expected a new wheel manufacturer for a higher quality wheel.

It has a clutch pedal but the H pattern shifter is sold separately? FML

Just by looks I think the steering wheel looks cool. Sleek product.
$500? even if it gets converted to US currency, maybe $400? who knows. For that price i think everyone will be more satisfied with a fanatec with clubsport pedals.
Think this new wheel is a little to bogus for me. Cash cow.

If it's:
I'll concider it; after I read tons of reviews and the wheel is at least half a year on the market.
- compatible with all recent and new race games
- FFB shifter
- ABS brake pedal with a load cell/pressure sensor/hydraulic brake
- removable steering wheel
- very accurate
- economical price
