The base looks larger than the new TS PC. However, think about it... That wheel cannot be direct drive. No way Sony and Thrustmaster would release a direct drive wheel for a console. It would cost too much.
For PC yes. For console... No.

Why would it cost to much? A direct ffb wheel is simpler then a cog/belt driven wheel.

Everything is expensive when not mass produce that applies to direct drive motors as well.

If the manufacturer decides to design/produce a ffb wheel and if they go with a direct drive ffb wheel instead of a belt driven one, then it will be a mass produced product. And with less parts it would be far cheaper than a belt driven counterpart.

I understand that. But by how much cheaper. Even if the price comes down to 600. That is still alot to most people.
- 716
600? more like to how big the marginals/profit they want. If they want they can sell a direct drive ffb wheel for as little as a normal tx/g920 wheel if they want. But you would probably pay for the hype as well if the wheel in question was a direct drive ffb wheel.

I guess that would depend on the strength of the motor they intended to use. If it is to be the same strength motors used in current commercial wheels possibly, but if they are going to use motors similar to what current DD wheels use there would be no way. The bare motor alone exceeds that price and this market isn't big enough to drive that price in any direction but up because of taking more of the current supply.
- 716
Even if the motor was an industrial one, if thrustmaster or logitec would make a mass produced direct ffb wheel it would be cheap. The motors in the direct drive ffb wheels are expensive because the the companies that make those wheels are not buying them in thousands. Small batches are expensive. Sure a small motor in a crappy logitech or thrustmaster is super cheap compared to a stronger one in a direct drive wheel but all in all it does not need to bee a 600+ bucks for a finished product.

T500 was around 350£.... 400£ tops.

I was watching that video and had to keep reminding myself that I already own the T300/500 and if I buy a new one it will be the GT Sport wheel not this one.
It does look to have enough power to make drifting about the car control and not about manhandling the wheel into position, doesn't it?

Yes but that was also with pedals TS-PC Racer costs 499£ with only base and small rim wich makes me assume the wheel is very close to CSW V2 if I´m correct?

Not as detailed as I would've liked. A comparison with the competition would have been nice.

Yes, not the level of information we'd hoped for.
My cynical side is telling me they might have been requested (by TM?) to leave off the comparisons to other vendors for a specific period. Hence the promised Fanatec compare at an unspecified later date.
Then again, it could just be due to the ISR guys themselves having become frustrated at negative or unpleasant feedback from their audience after the CSL Elite versus T300/CSWv2 comparison video... Or yet another option could be that they are saving the comparison for their promised PC 2017 wheel buyers guide?

What was so bad about that comparison review vid. I never saw it?
And this is the problem with clearly being sponsored by a vendor. You can never really take the review seriously.

And no, I've not checked the ISR forums or YouTube comments lately to see if this was a problem, just idle conjecture on my part....

So anyone purchased this yet?

Haha maybe only 10 people bought it and still waiting for their shipment. Typical TM. Every time when they launch a new product during the Christmas period they have extremely limited supply.

I'll wait to see how much Amazon sell it for. I'd rather spend 500 or more. On a fanatec setup.
If Amazon bring the price down to 450. I'll buy.

There are a bunch of videos on YouTube from guys with the wheel. I didn't bother watching any except for GamerMuscle, so not sure how many bought it and how many got a review version ( I think GM bought his, so probably only places like ISR and maybe vvv got review kit)
