Stolen off RFD. Here's a the link. Just in time for GT5

http://www.logitech.com/en-us/logitech-e-products/devices/7662

[bakasam]

As good of a deal that is 200 bucks still isn't easy to fork up :(!

Hopefully it'll still be around by my next pay cheque

[Dragon-88]

Would NCIX pricematch this even thought its in USD? I know that retailers cost is around $250

[Euro7r]

Want this too, but $200 dent to the bank FUUU. So tempting

[oldsnail]

i remember i paid 200 for my logitech GT wheel.. what was i thinking back then

[TOS'd]

$50 cheaper than when i bought it, oh well.

[Fuhrër-Z]

I paid 230 for my g25, this is a good deal peoples.

[AhXian]

[TomBox_N]

Where's your office? :gun: :grenade:

[rk604]

if you guys know anyone from bestbuy, its 230CAD cost + 5% + tax = 270ish

[HonestTea]

$270 is still a bitch to fork up :(

Just wondering, rk604, are you still allowed to use Gift cards if you're an employee and buying it @ Cost($230+5%+tax)?

[ilvtofu]

sorry for the bump on an oldish thread but I'm thinking of getting a wheel sometime in the near future
I've tried the G25 before and wondering if anyone has tried both to advise me which one to buy.

My only complaint with the G25 is that the stick shifter felt really cheap and didn't have much feedback. Is it improved in the G27?

I don't mind buying used and it seems hard to find the g27

[Hondaracer]

There is a good video on YouTube a comparison of the two, besides a shift light and adjustable pedals there really isn't much difference between the 25 and 27 personally I think I prefer the look of the 25's wheel over the 27's

I played with the g25 and i own the g27. the g25's gear shifter doesnt feel as refined as the g27. thats for sure. the g25 has the sequential shifter and the g27 doesnt. I would say if you already have the g25, there not really a point in upgrading to g27 because it is quite expensive. But if you don't, go for the g27.

[ilvtofu]

Watching some videos on youtube it seems like the fanatec is a better wheel and has vibration motors as well. whereas the g25 has a bunch of cheap plasticky rattles and the fanatec feels a lot more real. The other advantage is that it has significantly less wires and because I use a projector set up with all my consoles off to the back corner of the room it's a great benefit.

What's your opinion on the fanatech 911 wheels?
haha I'm wondering if I can build a setup with the 911 wheel and a stock pair of 993 leather seats I have in the house. would be pretty neat

fanatec GT3 wheel is about $350 USD and the G27 is about $300 USD seems like a very reasonable upgrade

Also the Turbo S wheel comes with Xbox compatibility as well which is a big plus too

EDIT: Nice found one a g27 on RS classifieds http://www.revscene.net/forums/fs-logitech-g27-t629639.html

I thought that too, but I plan on modding the G27 in the future so, the look of the wheel didnt matter for me.

Sequential shifting is cool though.

[Dragon-88]

You can acctually change the feel of the G25 shifter with a rubber washer... There is a youtube vid of it somewhere. Did it to mine feels alot stiffer.

[q0192837465]

I'm sure there won't be too much real life difference between the 2. Of course u'll feel slight improvement if u try them out side by side. But for casual gamers, the G25 is more than good enough

BTW, I'm gonna find a way to put the G27 on booster seat so my son can learn how to drive before he learns how to walk. :thumbsup:

[ilvtofu]

I think I'm gonna get a g25 used with a cheap playseat which is about the same price as the fanatec
Is there a way to adjust the pedal position side to side? I remember left foot braking was more like left foot chaffing
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[TOS'd]

^ there is a way to adjust pedal position side to side, but thats only with the g27 and not the g25. unless you were going to get rid of the pedal housing and reverse mount them or something, then you can just move the pedals over side to side then mount them into a frame and the g25 would be ok for that.

Make sure you test your used g25 good.. the main issue was the shifter not going into 6th gear or reverse... I had this happen to mine luckily it was under warranty and logitech sent me a brand new g25 now i have 2.. One without the shifter and one with.. Problem with it is GT5 recognizes the 2nd one with no shifter but wont let it play without the shifter.. So basically that wheel is only good when playing auto... But suck cause you cant control the gears...

[ilvtofu]

^how did you prove to them it was broken? since you didn't send it in. Couldn't anyone who bought a G25 tell logitech they had a broken shifter and get a new one? and then refund/sell one of them?

[insomniac]

did you have to send them the receipt? what did they ask? i have a broken g7 mouse but i dont have receipts ):

[terkan]

they get you to ship back certain parts of your product. they'll provide you with a shipping label that you ship it back. g25 you ship back the shifter, z5500 you ship back the control pod etc etc. and no you don't need the receipt. they have record when it was approximately purchased. the only time you need to provide receipt is if you don't agree with the warranty dates

[ilvtofu]

^I can't thank you don't know why, but thanks for the info.

Are there replacement parts you can buy afterwards though? Do they just want the shift knob or the whole shift pod cause that's huge!

[Dragon-88]

Shift pod.. But htink of it its better than sending the whole unit.. Which would be costly cause its freaking heavy..

Ive been trying to find a replacement shifter for the last 2 years.. Thats how hard they come by.. Well atleast for under $100 shipped...

[ilvtofu]

Damn tried out the g27 and liked it a lot more than the g25. Although the setup at memory express is really nice with the fanatec cage.
Heel toe shifting is awesome :3
Although the game they had sucked I forgot what it was but ergonomics were pretty good. Now to find free time to build the seat

[Heavy_user]

Does anyone know if there are any good deals for g27 or even g25 right now? Seems like the prices actually went up from what I saw few months ago.

[ilvtofu]

I've been looking and the best deal I can find is memory express for $320 + 5% off so 304 before tax. Still a lot less than future shop/bestbuy but yeah

I too would like to know. Even in the states looking at 299 so better to just get from ME

[Fafine]

^ where do you buy it from that gives you 5% off, the futureshop price match?

[Cman333]

I can probably get it for $300 flat if anyone is interested. I'm getting a couple of my friends some. So can probably help out a couple people.

[ilvtofu]

^ where do you buy it from that gives you 5% off, the futureshop price match?

All purchases over $100 = 5% off

@Cman Is that after tax?

[Cman333]

All purchases over $100 = 5% off

@Cman Is that after tax?

Yup. $300 cash. Basically getting someone to staff purchase it and he wants to make a little something.

Either way, still cheaper.

[twitchyzero]

i'm going to be putting up my bnib g25 with some games up for sale soon...the demand for wheels for the next month or two are going to be pretty high.

[ilvtofu]

Does that mean no warranty then?

Warranty you just call logitech and they will check the Serial number and see if everything is good.. IE they know when they sell 100 G27's on a specific date to fs/bb so they range it from that...Worst case they will ask for receipt but i have never been asked this and have done atlease 4 warranties through logitech...
One time I bought a mouse of craigslist didnt work after the first day. Told craigslist guy it was faulty got my money back then warrantied it with logitech no problem and got a replacement.

As for FS warranty you wouldnt return it to them unless its DOA within the first 15-30days(not sure) soo logitech is where you will be going for warranty.

[Dragon-88]

FYI G27 cost wise is roughly $250 so atleast u know what markup is...

[q0192837465]

^holy, in that case I got it as cost. woohoo.

[Cman333]

Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

There's warranty through FS/BB. I won't be giving you the receipt, but if you really need warranty within the year just pm me and we can arrange something.

Logitech's warranty is better anyways.



NOTE: I can't do this for everyone that msg's. Don't want to get anyone in trouble.

[Cman333]

248.75 or something like that. Like 280 after tax + 20 for the time.

[Alpine]

As another option you can buy the g27 from bestbuy for $280 before tax (20% off their usual retail and ONLINE only). After tax total comes to $314.
The only downside is that its out of stock online but I rolled the dice anyways and hopefully they get some in soon.

[ilvtofu]

Damn not bad for the bestbuy deal either. I e-mailed the guy who sold me my camera at memory express see if he can get me discount LMAO. Just bought a wacom tablet yesterday from them and realized I already spent $1600 there in the last 3 weeks.

[q0192837465]

^holy, wtf did u buy?

[ncrx]

On Nov 13, there was a sale on the logitech site with 35% off everything. got my g27 for 255 shipped.

[HonestTea]

^ thx for sharing..

[twitchyzero]

nuts...i just listed a g25 bnib with 2 games and I got 7 people interested and sold it in less than 24 hours.

so for those of you still trying to look for a deal...shouldve done so a while back...

[wasabisashimi]

Recommand cheaper alternatives to G25 and G27, dont want to spend $150 or more

[genesis195]

QQ g27 sold out, EVERYWHERE.
