If one owns a Fanatec wheel and needs an update to work with a game in the future (gt5/wrc/F1-2010) is it possible to download straight to ps3 from Wi Fi? Assuming the wheel arrives now and is plug and play ready for GT5p?

Reading this review I'm convinced I did the best thing in my case by ordering a G27 yesterday.
There's no doubt that the Fanatec wheels are good, but in my view they aren't worth the extra money they cost over a G27.
€369,90 for the GT3 RS V2 (with shifter set) is €120 or almost 50% more than the G27 (payed €249.9 for it), and it doesn't include shipping. Which was free with the G27.
And I've heard a lot more positive things about the customer support of Logitech.

Where? Online or in a store?

For me, G27 (240eur) would cost even cheaper The PWGT3RSV2CSE (320eur) + Shifter Set (50eur) + Shipping Rates (29eur) comes up to 400eur! But hey, there is a significant difference (benefit) here, the Clubsport Pedals

280 if you compare like-for-like, which would be the gt3rs v2 @180, standard pedals @50 and shifter pack @50. The clubsport pedals are 200 on their own which is nearly the price of the whole g27 set so not really fair to include them in the comparison.

It seems like there are plenty of people now with fanatec wheels that have positive customer service with Thomas himself, Do you know of a name or face of logitech? I think the customer service thing is over done.

I like their customer service. Sure it's slow but anything that doesn't work gets replaced/exchanged.

Well guys, I heard terrible things about Fanatec costumer service. I must tell you my experience at this moment.
I just bought 2 weeks ago the RS wheel with the CSP. A few days ago the wheel had a problem in game. A serious problem. I just made what Fanatec says to do: sent the email to e-support with all they requested, including a video (August 3rd). The next day I had a reply from Fanatec informing me that in fact the wheel had a problem and that they would send a new replacement wheel in a few days.
The next day I`ve been contacted from Fanatec with the information that the new wheel should be send this week.
Today I have the confirmation from Fanatec and UPS that the wheel is on the way and is arriving next Monday.
It´s more then fair for Fanatec to tell here my experience. Thank you Fanatec for your support.
PS - The wheel and the CSP are just great. I had a G25 (with zero problems, nothing to say about that) and I think is a good wheel too. But this one is fantastic. I`ll wait for the promissed CSShifter from them.

Fanatec/Thomas once said that people are proned to only tell the negative experiences. It's good thing you told us your positive experience with Fanatec's customers service.

that's true and in marketing speaking it will take you 5 positive comments/ experience to get ride of one negative.
And people always tend to report negatives ones instead of positive ones. And these will spread more widely than positive ones.
But i had a look at the endor ag site and that gave me confidance in them + the fact that Thomas is so publicly active is a good sign.
And the few positive comments about their customer service here were really good.
When i ordered my wheel i was asking them for the CSP tuning kit. phoned and recieved an answer directly
Edit : Seems that Fanatec has recieved their shipement of PWTS UE.
👍

Hi, i'd read loads on here about Fanatec, all the 100 page thread etc, plus loads elsewhere. Plus loads on G27(not prob free either) etc.
Fiftey Fiftey near beginning, but in end only one way to go(for me at least).
Ordered Fanatec GT3RS v2 CSP, Stand & couple of bits , turned out went smoothly enough(couple of bits came week later, not in stock), even if it hadn't knew Fanatec peeps would be doing there best.
Cheers BOB
ps i had that were it was hard to control wheel ie small movements, turn a little bit, but then have to turn back etc, sensitivity all to cock. This was with GT5P & PS3, messed with all the settings in the Game & on the wheel, that many combinations, so can't say exactly what i tried(but lots).
But got into a habit how i switched wheel on, switched on PS3, loaded game, used compatibility button etc, never had it since(some settings, steer with one hand), well certainly how it was.
No expert thou, complete novice.
pps some great info & peeps on here, bring on the/your game settings.

The standard pedals, CSP's, and the Logitech pedals will all be in my upcoming review.
What about the CS Pedal Tuning Kit?
Hey Thomas, we need this review

The Tuning Kit will not be part of the wheel/pedal comparison. It requires it's own review/guide, as there is just too much info to fit it in with the larger review.

I used the standard pedals for the comparison, but they were one of many things which would have blown up the length of the article.
But it is included in my rating scale. Just click on the link under my comparison.

Have you guys seen these wheels made by Massimo Cubeddu??
Called Cube wheels. Super high quality materials and build. I am speaking with him right now to purchase a GT wheel w/ SLI pro and Paddles and a button box.
He also makes F1 wheels etc...
Very impressive imo.
Check the link for more pics of his different designs.
