Just make sure you know what your getting. The Playseat is the real deal.. So your looking @ $500 for it.. You can buy the Chinese Knockoff version which is called the Gameseat which you can buy locally off CG for $250-$300 with shifter mount included. Works the same but build quality isnt as good but good enough to do its job. Just nothing pretty.

Link to the group buy on the gameseat and reviews.

I ordered my playseat at $350. I'll report back in a few days on how much it costs with customs and tax. Roughly $400 I estimate.

Edit: that was dumb. Found the same thing on amazon.ca. Submitted a request to cancel the .com

yeah now i remember why i didnt buy the gameseat/playseat..i sit behind in the couch and there's not enough vertical clearance in terms of my field of vision.

How do you tighten up the shifter? I only got to use it for a few seconds before my pedals went flying but it felt pretty light.

Man I can't wait til they have force feedback shifting, so if you miss-shift you'll grind the gears etc. Maybe GT6.

You have to open up the gear box thingy and insert a little pin/spacer thingy under the position locking spring. It increases the pressure which pushes the ball bearing against the plate which gives you a heavier shift like feeling.

I've been using wheel stand pro for alost 2 years. highly recommaned. of course it's not as good as playseat but it can be fold so wont take up the whole storage room when not in use.

I've been looking at this to just stand it up in the corner when done.
