sorted byIt was £249.99 which I thought was a decent price as most places sell the GTE for RRP (£329.99)
I've been really impressed with the wheel and the pedals aren't so bad either, probably better than the naff reviews people give them online. Using Driveclub with this wheel is sooooo much better than using the controller...
Oh and I bought the F1 rim for this too. Cheapest I could see it online was £89.99 at BT shop so the original wheel now gathers dust while I tend to use the F1 rim.
Just FYI, my steering wheel history is something like this so I feel well positioned as I've tried most of the decent brands:
1. Thrustmaster DFGT
2. Microsoft xbox 360 wheel/pedals
2. Logitech G25
3. Fanatec Turbo S / Clubsport pedals
4. T300 GTE
I've also just recently received my CSW v2 from Fanatec about 3 weeks ago too although that's still in the box.
No it doesn't, get some class about you.
The ladies down the kebab at 3am aren't sexy either as a point of reference.
I'd say your basically getting the pedals for free at this price.
Smashing price OP. Heat added
Works great with driveclub, I havent bothered with PC gaming, but looking forward to project cars.
I had to laugh at the guy recommending track days instead of this wheel - yes mate, it is not a fully fledged simulator replacement.. Maybe also join the Army to save yourself £40 on call of duty too??
Ive had hours of fun and could never play a racing game with a controller ever again!
Sorry about your bad experience, but I disagree with you on when you just say 'it's rubbish'. Sure enough, if you could afford a real simulator with a steering wheel worth 5000€, then you'd get much more closer to the real thing. But in the context of a racing simulator for PC (not talking about consoles) these steering wheels can make a big difference. I own a DFGT and recently bought a T500RS and I can only say it's marvellous. I think the T300 shares a lot of components with the T500 (I would say it's the same base with less powerful motor but different pedals) so I'm pretty sure it wouldn't disappoint people. I think the whole driving experience depends on the videogame + PC + steering wheel + mounting rig. And even without the latter, you can still feel how the car is moving and predict what is going to happen. That's to me a good indicator about how real the experience is.
But this is on another level.
No it hasn't got a clutch and gear stick but come on, times are changing and flappy paddles are on pretty much all new race cars now and can save you up to half a second of acceleration time per gear change. And yes the break pedal isn't as resistant as id like it to be but a piece of stress ball fixed that. I cannot say anything about the wheel itself, force feedback is so smooth and quiet, all the buttons are there. Only thing I would recommend is a mic socket so I didn't have to log a controller in too.
I payed £300 on release day and don't regret it one bit.
At this price I would go for it if I were you lot

Heat added anyway OP - I can dream for now

Also a great price on the Thrustmaster Warthog stick right now
Sooo tempted and have been some time.....I have a beefy PC gaming rig, ps4 and xbone. I prefer ps4 over xbone, however my mates only play on xbone. For my main use it will be mostly PC however on my 980 card + rift DK2
Try the rf2 demo then buy this ☺
I've taken the plunge with Zavvi wouldn't be surprised to see the T300 go up once Project Cars hits the shelves.(_;)

and that costs another £149.99.
Then you're virtually racing with physics that aren't very accurate on GT6, etc, with only fake steering weight and visual/audio cues to guide you.
Seriously not worth the money, despite £189.99 being a crazy bargain price for that wheel you will be disappointed. Better to buy an old hot hatch or sports car and go on some track days.
I know this sounds snobby, but I tried most of the £50-350 wheels on the market and they're all rubbish with major flaws you can't adjust out.
None of these cheaper wheels are worth buying, and they're certainly not worth paying money for just to use them with the majority of arcade games out there.
I'll vote hot as if someone wants to buy this wheel as I imagine you will never find it cheaper than this until it's discontinued, but it's rubbish.
Again sorry if I sound snobby, but I was led to believe these wheels feel like the steering on real cars. They're really expensive toys, that maybe kids who have never driven a real car would like.

A company called Ricmotech offer an adapter which allows you to use your G25 pedals with the T300 it's not at all expensive.
The T3PA's are normally in stock on the Thrustmaster UK web shop...
I went through 3 T500s and all faulty, one set on fire, thank god I was in the same room when it suddenly went up.
I agree though, these wheels feel nothing like driving a real car.
What do some of you people want? It delivered bolted to an MX5??? It's a gaming accessory appreciate it for what it is essentially an expensive toy. Amb47uk's COD analogy was spot on.

What are you gaming on? If a Pc you can pretty much mix and match any combo.. If ps4.....You'll need a t300 or t500.. The t300 is the better wheel...t500 has better pedals.
You can buy th8a shifter to work with it (not currently compatible with driveclub).. And t3pa pedals... Which have a clutch and a conical brake mod which is great..making the brake feel realistic.
Ive had the g27... Solid wheel.. But the forcefeedback isn't near as good as the t300s brushless motor system.. It wont work on a ps4..and despite having a clutch and shifter.. They aren't particularly good.. Plus its old tech vs the t300..
No point waiting for logitech to release something new.....logitech aren't making wheels anymore .
TH8A shifter is designed to accompany this wheel as are the T3PA pedals (includes clutch) does kinda hurt you are looking at another 200 notes to fully kit this wheel out and that's before a suitable stand.!!oO Easiest place to look for information is the official Thrustmaster website there's handy firmware update information on there also.
