Thrustmaster T500RS GT6 Edition

[Marky264]

Noticed earlier today on their FaceBook Page https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...55477061.47379.177715455589531&type=1&theater

That they are Re-Releasing the T500 RS In a New Gran Turismo 6 Themed Box. It's noted that nothing New Has been Added to the Wheel but the Packaging has been Refreshed in the Collaboration Polyphony Digital have had with Thrustmasters T500 RS.

I think It's finally time to Invest in this Wheel for myself so I wanted to get the Latest Up to Date SKU I could find. Knowing It'll be future proof alongside the PS4 is also a great thing to bear In mind.

Does anyone have any Retailers in the UK That still Sell This?

I bought mine from Amazon uk, but I bought it in 2010 I have the TH8RS shifter too, thoroughly recommend them :-)

Been keeping an Eye on Amazon I'm not really too keen on Buying from the Sellers Listed on there as they're Imported from Countries like Spain & Germany I'd rather Buy It from Amazon Directly If they had the Stock Etc, Back when It was released It was sold at Places like HMV But can't seem to find a trustworthy Retailer!

I bought mine from Amazon France directly, back in January I think. Prices here were almost 100% higher, so it was worth it. Going abroad - so to say - could save you lots of money. I can't answer if they've got the GT6 box version of the T500 though.

Bought mine from DABS and confirm it comes in the latest GT6 box - next day delivery too - bit more expensive than Pixmania, though considerably cheaper than Amazon but I heard Pixmania deal in grey market imports so that put me off due to possible warranty issues.

Hope that's helpful!

I Want to buy From DABS since it's comfirmed the latest version and it's up for a decent price. But I was wondering do they ship to the states? And I know there is no new features added but does anybody know if they fixed the problems people were having with the wheel??? Like the fans going out, the wheel not working and ect.

Bought mine in early 2011 (version 5.1?) from Conn's. I've had to open it up once to spray electronic dust cleaner into the up shifter button, 10 or so screws total and very doable. It was missing shifts, but this fixed it. Fan is kind of loud, but runs like the day I bought it. The main collar doesn't stay tight even with the set screw tightened. I need to retighten every other race. All in all, this thing is a champ. I beat on it pretty hard. It's been bolted to a Obutto since day one.

Guys there already is a very good thread with all the info being asked and as far as I know the new GT6 boxed wheel has some revisions
