i read reviews that said the DFGT was like a G25 so I wasn't sure. I see a few G25's/G27's on CL but they still seem pricy for me being in the $200 range. i'm scared i'd get a wheel and it'll collect dust :lawl:

^ if you don't have a dedicated set-up ...it's bound to sit in the closet
should probably get a wheel stand pro if you decide to go with the g25/27

i was thinking of trying to make a compact setup myself since space is also an issue.

I never really like the idea of the wheel stand pro. I personally wouldn't wanna use the wheel stand pro, instead I just mount the wheel onto a heavy ass table that's relatively low to the ground and sit on the floor to race. :okay:About the G25 feeling like the DFGT, I dunno man the force feedback seems to be much more pronounced in the G25. And god, the sound the dfgt drove me nuts when I was drifting courses in GT5 lol. Save up for the g25 man, you won't regret it :woot2:

Playseat Evolution is some what contractible. You can easily remove the part where the pedals and steering wheel sits in order to save some more space but I guess it wouldn't be ideal for those with small bedrooms.
My setup has been sitting in the corner of my living room collecting dust as I haven't been playing GT5 lately but I still use the seat everytime I turn the PS3 on. Racing seats are comfortable for me :p

If you an afford a used g25/7 i suggest you get it.
I always used a controller and i often got bored because I thought i wasn't getting the whole experience.
Then I got the wheel and it was so much more fun.

btw do any of you rent games?

Yea! The steering wheel makes the gaming experience so much more fun!
No I do not rent games.

i haven't rented a game since probably 2005? it was when i had a bunch of friends over like a sports game. i haven't rented serious games since the SNES days where i'd sit for a week, play the storyline and finish it.

no i dont rent games. sometimes the games are so cheap ar FS/BB that rentals are pointless. plus i like to take my time with games. rentals would make me want to rush through it.

since the consensus seems to be go the extra mile for G25/G27 i decided to get it off amazon.com when it was on sale for $199. i'll have to homebrew a cheap stand to make it easy to bring out and put away. i've been looking at some ikea hacks, saw one with a laptop table....anyone have any good cheap hax for a table/setup?

This is exactly what happened to me haha. Bought a G27 when GT5 came out, used it for a total of less than 10 hours. And it's been put away in a box since the last time we had a RS GT5 meet.

^ yep, mine's in my closet, nice layer of dust on it.

even with a dedicated setup my g25 probably gets used once every other month :(

what setup do you have?

It's ok. Not worth 59.99 though. Same mechanics as smash brothers but theres no life bars or ring outs. In order to kill someone, you have to hit them
with a super bar move. I got my copy for $10 after doing a trade 2 using cod mw 3 which I bought on craigslist for $10 and having someone give me Skyrim for free :lol

i wouldnt buy it now...probalby gonna be $20 by boxing day or free on PS+ few months into the new year

Still do not see value in PS+

If I'm not mistaken, buying EITHER PS3 or PSVita version will give you access to the other as well. It is 40$ for Vita... So I'm assuming its only 40$ for PS3 too?

I'm playing it on my Vita, its fun, but I was never a huge smash brothers person, so this game got boring for me pretty quickly too. Still fun enough to play while pooping or something though lol.

On a side note, for anyone who plays this or MIGHT play it in the future. Early 2013 there will be FREE DLC characters/stages for a few weeks. afterwards it costs money. Anyone can download the DLC, even without the game. so... yeah, make sure to download them when they come out for free!

PS3 version is 59.99. Yeah there's a code to download the vita version as well. Yeah it gets boring pretty quick but for the $10 that I paid, i'll keep it for shits and giggles

i bought a bunch of 3months ps+ pass for 8.99 each.. i mean it's not too bad considering they have a bunch of ps vita games on there for free that i probably woulda ended up buying when they go on sale at one point or another.. works out to 36 bux for me for 1yr and i get a bunch of free games for it.. so why not.. even thoguh some games are dated but it's not that bad of a deal.

MGS4 Ver. 2 Platinum!!!!

I just heard that GOW: Ascension demo will be included with Total Recall Blu-ray. Does this mean there will not be a demo available through PSN? I'm not a fan of demos but I wouldn't mind getting a sneak peak of GOW before the full release of the game.
Does anyone know? I'm not finding much info online.

I gotta say, on Vita it's pretty great. I can see myself not being interested in it on a home console, but on a handheld it's a great pick-up and play game. Except for slightly long load times...
