I wouldn't mind one of these setups,although I think they're a bit OTT.

Anyone here got one?

Search YouTube for "Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - Logitech G25 manual shift PS3" -Had to remove the link because of very foul language in the comments section. Sorry guys. -Mark Kleis

Re: Cool toys

I have the G25 steering wheel. However, when I play with it on my computer or whatever, the pedals and chair will slide away. After a month of usage, I put it away. I am sick of the chair and pedals sliding away as I use them.

Sorry Mark...I didn't watch it right through..should have.

I thought was an official Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - Logitech G25 manual shift PS3.....Didn't think there would be anything offensive in it?

Should have just embedded the video, Eddie. That way people could watch the video here without having to click on the link.

Re: Cool toys

I have a buddy that has one and i play it all the time, we built a racing pod for it, so that we sit like we are in a car and the sterring wheel is set up at the right height like in a real car. we have a 21 inch monitor which helps for realism, i can get you the dimensions for the set up if you want them, other wise the G25 is the most amazing racing wheel at the time.

Mark brought that up in another thread. If I go to you tube,i see the embedded part.I copied,which was okay,but what do you do after?

Some people you see on you tube actually have a racing seat on their living room floor! OTT,but must be great fun!

I used to play GT3 a lot.Tried it with a steering wheel but i did better with the analog joystick. I think it was a ferreri wheel. Is the top end logitech stuff good these days...What about the new GT on PS3.I don't have the PS3...too expensive,but I heard on the news that later on this year Sony are going to reduce the cost due to lack of sales.By how much?

I want to rig up a pod. Let's see the design! Playing with the G25 in front of a desk is simply too disappointing. I may be able to bolt one of my Recaro seats to the pod too!


Eddie, if you want to embed a youtube video, I think you can put wrap it inside the following code:

Re: Cool toys

The design is pretty simple, we made it out of would, my friend is at work today until 5pm but i am going over to his house later and i can get the design and take a pic of it, yeah you should bolt your recaro seat up, it would be sweet.
