Is this what the big announcement was?
Not worth the asking price imho. As nice as it is I'll be sticking with the ps4 default one methinks

Agreed, not quite enough reason to upgrade. I also feel given the price point of the T300RS that we should be seeing at least a leather finish on the wheel if they're going to skimp on the pedals.
Having to upgrade to better pedals & wheel as well is getting a bit ridiculous. Reminds me of games these days that turn out to be heavy on dlc before you get the 'full experience'.
And it wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't so many reliability issues going around which only compounds the being fleeced/milked sensation

Good to see it is lighter but if it is anything like the G27, then I much prefer the rubber finish as it is much easier on the hands for me so will stick with stock one.

I know man! It must be great being sent all their new upgrade products for free to review though eh? I'm sure we'd be a lot more understanding if that were the case!
As it stands the cost is way too much to be even a consideration. Completely unjustifiable & only serves to make some wish they had a leather version of the wheel they already have & were otherwise quite happy with!
It would be better if they let you configure the exact setup you want from their website imho. Rather than forcing you to buy sub standard stuff that they then proceed to make you further unhappy with by shoving superior options in your now skint face!

Called it!
Same size, same shape, same button layout? C'mon TM, try a little harder.
Couldn't agree more. They either did the research and this is what majority of owners want or they seriously cannot be stuffed simply find the quickest way to generate extra revenue for the balance sheet.
Me, I'm happy to give it a miss and save the USD$150 and use my standard T500RS wheel. Besides my T500RS wheel is slightly bigger. And how the announcement said it's 149.99 in all currencies made me think it was 1 April

Hi guys im asking 1 question on behalf of my friend, he recently purchased a T300 GTE, now he wants to perform a self calibration by pressing mode+start+select, however as u all already know GTE rim does not have a separated select and start button and GT6 key assignment won't let you assign for those keys....so is there any work around here?

Still waiting for a replacement after first email was sent a month ago. I sent the wheel to their base in France 10 days ago, still no reply to confirm they've received it.
It's such a shame, the wheel itself is amazing!
How long did it take to them respond your contact through support? I'm still waiting for an answer and probably be on the same boat as you.
Is this the right thread to ask this??
I'm thinking right now about buying a new wheel and i thought this would be good as it's works on the ps3, ps4 and pc which basically what i need. The things is should i buy T300RS or T300 GTE or T500RS or else? is it worth it? how much money did you spend on buying this wheel? should i also buy the T3PA and TH8A too?
Thanks.

As a T500RS owner, I'd get the T300RS myself. The stock rim is pretty awesome, and it is pretty much the only show in town for PS3, PS4 and PC.
As for T3PA and TH8A that's up to you. The pedals are probably the best upgrade you can do, specifically in the brake department, although there is a low dollar mod for the standard TM pedals these days that is said to work well.
The shifter is a fun add on, but a less necessary one. I like the sequential shift and generally found H pattern shifting in game to be a little annoying, but your mileage may vary.
